Real Church

The only church that isn't defiled with the devil is the invisible Church of which Christ is King. This real Church has no human gatekeepers, or human mediators. No trace of shallowness or wickedness. To enter it requires regeneration by the word and the Spirit. It's a gathering of prophets, priests, and kings. It's a battlefield. It's creed is the word of God handed down through the ages. It's doctrine is the armor of God. In a few books you'll find a sense of this Church. Human Nature in its Fourfold State. Pilgrim's Progress. Crook in the Lot. Not many.
