Admission of Guilt

July 12, 2008 – 1:06 pm

It is not a new thought that our world is quite liberal. I heard recently that Canada is very proud to declare itself the first secular country in the world. If this is remotely true then we need to weep before God in repentance and seek him out.

I read an article that might interest you. It challenges that the emerging church may have a form of paganism attached to it. Here’s the link: http://bible.christianity.com/SermonHelps/11560481/page1/  Read it and you decide if there is any weight to this arguement. It got my attention and has challenged me to take another look at where I am and what I’m doing. I would hate at the end of this journey to stand before God and be told I diluted his message, distanced myself from his purpose and digressed from his plan. What a dreadful day that would be.

I wonder if churches that are completely committed to the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ will become a minority? Will they be the least attended and attractive in the world of churches and religious hype? It strikes me interesting that Jesus was never very popular. Wasn’t in his ministry and nothing’s changed today either.

Are we ready to stand? Do we have what it takes to stand up and stand out?

Blessings to you in your pursuit of God and determination to "tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth…so help me God."
