There are huge problems in the Christian Churches in this country, when professing Christians will compromise their values and beliefs, do something that is utterly against everything they have ever been taught.
For instance a mother recently was counseled not to have an abortion, left and went home, only to return with a so-called Christian friend the next day to have an abortion, and the friend claimed to even be pro-life. Really?
How can a person claim to pro-life, and a Christian, and aid in the murder of an innocent unborn child? Is it just me? Or is there a problem here having to do with a lack of real spiritual conviction in the lives of confessing, and professing Christians? There is definitely a problem here, and that problem has to do with the state of the Church in America.
People are going to be angry with me for saying what I have too say here, but that is just too bad! The lack of conviction in the hearts of said believers may be the result of the lack of the indwelling Holy Spirit in their hearts? In other words, we have a lot of well meaning religious folks out there filling the pews every Sunday, but they are not truly born-again, and filled with the Spirit of God.
The lack of Biblical principles and values may be lacking as many local churches are now more concerned with issues of social justice/injustice, instead of evangelism, and soul winning. Liberalism has crept in and destroyed a large number of churches, rendering them nothing more than religious country clubs, where well dressed folks gather, and talk about a whole lot of nothing.
We have an crisis of morality and virtue in our Churches, a crisis of immoral behavior because of the lack of solid moral, and Biblical teaching from pulpit. Pastors are afraid to talk about many of the issues facing us today because too many people in their congregations would become angry, and might leave the church.Some Pastors won't take on these issues because if they spoke out, they might not have a job the next week.
Dear Pastor, since when is your job more important that the truth? Honestly if you lack that much back-bone, should you even be in the ministry to begin with? What we need in America is Preachers who are fearless, led by the Holy Spirit, and aren't concerned with who they make mad, and aren't concerned with keeping their precious jobs. If people can't handle the truth, let them leave, trust God to bring in people who will stand with you, and stay the course no matter what.
There are too many weak kneed Pastors resulting in weak kneed church people. The result of this is that the people lack true moral and spiritual conviction, and have fallen into the trap of moral relativism. When did Jesus ever teach that God's moral standards were relative, meaning they changed with the present set of circumstances, or with the culture at large? I have the answer too that, he did not, in fact Jesus always upheld the Law of God, and preached righteousness to the people.
Church leadership in America needs an overhaul! Too many Churches no longer even preach the the Gospel of Salvation, and the need for repentance. Americas Seminary's and Bible Colleges are turning out liberalized, pathetic crops of young pastors every year that end up further watering down the truth of God's Word. Many don't believe that the Bible in inerrant, and inspired by God for that matter, so how are we supposed to have a spiritual revival in this country when the preachers excuse me for saying this, suck?
What we need in American are fearless men of God to speak out! You cannot be afraid of people getting angry, or leaving. If they cannot stand the truth, they need to leave the church, why should a bunch of ice cold religious people clog up the seats in your church Pastor? They need to repent and get saved, or get out so someone poor sinner who wants to follow Jesus has a place to sit. That may seem cold, or ever mean, but it's the truth!
We need a major house cleaning in the Christian Church in America. The wheat needs too be separated from the chaff, the goats from the sheep. We need a return to pure Biblical doctrine in our Churches. Discard all the man made religious rules, and regulations that are choking out the work of the Spirit of God.
Legalism has got to go!
Immorality in the Church needs to be addressed and dealt with Biblically. Divisive people and gossipers need to shut their mouths, and knock it off!
We need to stand up for the sanctity of human life, and the sanctity of marriage, and stop letting society rule what we do and say. God is the boss! Christ our King! The Bible our Absolute Standard!
The Bible teaches that God knows each of us by name as we are being formed in our mothers womb, and he has a plan for each of our lives. The Bible also tells us that Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy! This is what abortion does, it steals away God's creation, killing it, and destroying His plan.
No one who is a true follower of Jesus Christ should ever be compromising the truth, and helping anyone destroy an unborn human life. Anyone doing such a thing is doing the work of Satan, not the work of God.
God's moral standards never change, as he never changes. Every Pastor and every Christian ought to be involved in abolishing abortion, not furthering it. Shame on the person who went with that woman back to that abortion clinic so she could murder her unborn child! This person needs to repent, and consider whether or not they truly belong to Christ, or not!
We are called as Christians too live counter to the popular culture, and too die to ourselves for Christ's sake, so that the world might see the real Jesus living through us each day. We need a moral and spiritual revolution in our Churches, then it will spill out into the world around us, and revival will come to America.
