Do I see many Christians putting an unbiblical faith and hope into politics, people, and principles? The answer is yes.
Carnal Christianity
They are selling the features and benefits of “the Christian life.” At the end of the day, I believe time will show that they are creating consumers….not making disciples. They are selling a “Christian lifestyle”……not pointing the way to the crucified life.
What is an un-bridled tongue indicative of, why it’s an epidemic in the last days, and why should we use our communication for God’s glory alone?
It’s a sad day when the lines between many who call themselves “Christian” and people in this dark world are virtually indistinguishable. Our generation is marked by pseudo-Christians who are dabbling in the darkness instead of being called out of darkness.
We are walking through this life and we are surrounded by masses of people going down, brushing past us, smiling, joking, and completely unaware that they will stand before the holy God of the universe to be judged.
Why should we be concerned that we are living in a day when George Clooney’s wedding receives more media coverage than recent a terrorist attack and for a greater period of time? Maybe it’s because those of us who are watching and waiting for the Lord’s return see an increase in pivotal events that are going by unnoticed…..under the radar.
What do the great actors of film have to do with last days Christianity? Quite a lot because we are living in a day when it’s not easy to differentiate between the true followers of Jesus and those who are simply Christian actors. I don’t know what motivates one to be a pretender instead of the real thing. One thing is certain: Churchianity isn’t Christianity.
I cannot get my mind wrapped around Christians today who think this life, this earth, and this daily existence is the pinnacle of joy.
The way the world disrespects the Lord comes as no surprise. What is becoming more prevalent in evangelical Christian circles is a cavalier attitude toward the first and second persons of the trinity. This attitude has no place in the life of a Christian. If we could see a veiled glimpse of God’s glory as Moses or the apostle John did, we’d loose the disrespect and fall on our faces in complete reverent worship.
