How long halt ye between two opinions

‘How long halt ye between two opinions’ At home here in Ulster, we are preparing to make choice with regard to the forth coming elections on May 5th. Every choice we make in life has its consequences; some, we get right, others are to be regretted. As an evangelical Protestant, I am persuaded that the choice of sharing power with unrepentant terrorists, a few years back, was a poor one; however, that is what democracy demanded and that is what we have to deal with. Democracy here in the past was always associated with Biblical standards and precepts; whether Roman Catholic or Protestant, Nationalist or Unionist, there was identification with Christianity. From St Andrews, the situation is very much different; Biblical principles and values have been exchanged for Secularist philosophy. The ‘shared future advocates’ are seeking to amalgamate Nationalist and Unionist, Roman Catholic and Protestant traditions into one Secularist entity. Amazingly, the DUP, supported by the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster, have been actively engaged in this process; they are compromising the principles of the Reformed Faith at such speed and determination, that if unchecked, they will transform Ulster from a cradle of Biblical Protestantism into a caldron of Secularism. Presently they have turned from ‘Separation’ to ‘Sharing’; they have turned from Christ the only Mediator to the Celebration of the Mass; they have cast out those with Christian principle and welcomed the Secularist scoundrel. It is time for those within the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster to consider their position; how can a person oppose the capitulation and treachery of the DUP and remain in the Free Presbyterian Church. These two organisations are joined at the hip; the Free Presbyterian Church supports its ministers and office bearers while they hold position and membership in the DUP. When the DUP is represented at the Roman Catholic mass, then so is the Free Presbyterian Church; when the DUP sanctions public money to support homosexuality, then so does the Free Presbyterian Church. When the children of Israel were gathered unto Elijah on mount Carmel in the days of Ahab’s apostasy and compromise, they were confronted with the question; ‘how long halt ye between two opinions’ (1Kings18:21) Now in these days of apostasy and compromise within the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster, it is time for God’s redeemed people to seriously consider their position and to respond to this great question, ‘how long halt ye between two opinions’. Attendance will always be viewed as participation; no one can sit in a Free Presbyterian congregation without being identified with the DUP. Rev Mervyn Cotton
