You’re Not Alone: God Always Preserves a Remnant

When you start seeing the need for change in the church, it can feel isolating. You might wonder, Am I the only one who sees this? Am I just being difficult?

But throughout history, God has always preserved a faithful remnant—a group of people who remain true to Him, even when the majority resists.

If you feel alone, you’re not.

Biblical Examples of the Remnant

God’s people have often found themselves in the minority, standing for truth while others went along with compromise.

  • Noah – When the entire world turned to evil, Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord (Genesis 6:8). He stood alone in obedience.

  • Elijah – He thought he was the only faithful one left, but God told him, “I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed to Baal” (1 Kings 19:18).

  • Daniel & His Friends – They refused to bow to idols, even when everyone else complied (Daniel 3, Daniel 6).

  • The Early Church – They were a remnant within Judaism, following Jesus even when religious leaders rejected Him (Acts 2:42-47).

God’s people have always had to stand firm in seasons of compromise. And He has always preserved a faithful remnant.

You’re Not Alone, Even When It Feels That Way

It’s easy to feel like no one else understands what you’re experiencing. But God is always working beyond what we can see.

  • Romans 11:5 – “So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace.”

  • Hebrews 13:5 – “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

  • Matthew 16:18 – “I will build My church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”

Even if you don’t see them right away, there are others who are seeking the same truth, longing for the same change, and being led by the same Spirit.

Finding the Faithful Few

If you’re feeling alone in this journey, here are a few ways to find the remnant God is preserving:

  • Pray for God to bring like-minded believers into your life. He knows exactly where they are.

  • Look beyond the walls of traditional church settings. The remnant isn’t always where you expect it to be.

  • Seek out those who are hungry for truth. Often, they’re quietly searching just like you are.

  • Don’t be afraid to start small. The remnant has never been about numbers—it’s about faithfulness.

Keep Standing, Even If You Stand Alone

The road of faithfulness isn’t always easy. But it’s worth it.

  • Galatians 6:9 – “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”

  • 2 Timothy 1:7 – “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”

Even if the majority resists, God is calling you to remain faithful. And you are not alone—even if it feels like it right now.

Keep Seeking, Keep Trusting

God has always preserved a remnant. And He is doing so now.

You may not see the full picture yet, but God is at work. Stay faithful. Keep seeking truth. And trust that He is gathering His people, just as He always has.

Have you ever felt like the only one standing for truth? How did God remind you that you weren’t alone? Let’s encourage each other in the comments.

Where the Rubber Meets the Road: When Passion Meets Resistance

Image
Being on fire for Jesus feels amazing—until it doesn’t. At first, you feel unstoppable. Your eyes have been opened, your heart is burning, and you want to live out your faith in a real, tangible way . But then, you hit resistance. Not from unbelievers, but from fellow believers. Why Are People Threatened by Passion? Many people feel threatened when they see someone on fire for Jesus. Instead of encouraging that fire, they step in to stop it . Once you recognize the shortcomings in how we “do church,” it’s tempting to immediately start pointing them out to your church family and leadership. I’ve been there. And in my experience, this usually doesn’t end well. No one likes to be corrected. No one wants to be put in check. The typical response is to put YOU in your place instead. I’ve been labeled many things: “She’s causing division.” “She thinks she’s so holy.” “She has a rebellious spirit and needs to learn to submit.” And of course, there’s that wonderful...
