We are definitely living in an era of "Christian Lite"! Sermons focus on feeling good and prospering, whereas in times past faithful preachers challenged the saints to die to self and to live for God and His holy cause.
The great danger of lukewarmness is that no one seems to recognize it in their own life. Therefore we must allow the word of God to be a mirror in which we see ourselves as we really are.
Leonard Ravenhill wrote his well known book "Why Revival Tarries" more than 50 years ago. A close friend of his, David Wilkerson, says that Brother Ravenhill died with a broken heart that, after 50+ years, the Church had greater need of renewal than when he first wrote and published this book.
Please read the following with an open heart: "A Christian dreaming before his television night by night, has a dead brain and a bankrupt soul. He would do better to persuade God to let him quit this world if he is so out of touch with this lax, loose, licentious age that blindness of the sinner no longer tears his soul."
Brethren, such bold, Biblical, soul-searching messages need to be tearfully proclaimed from every pulpit throughout America today!
Most will reject it, or feel that someone else may need it; but there is a holy remnant who will have ears to hear and hearts to respond to this needed word of God!
We will either have our hearts broken, stirred and changed, or we will settle for having our ears tickled!
What will your choice be?
God bless.
