Unrealized/Ignored Danger

As I have previously stated, I have a tremendous concern for the current state of the Church, and for those professed Christians who seem to be comfortable with the carnality reflected by the "saints" today.

I am persuaded that the enemy has found entertainment to be one of his most successful inroads into the lives of people. Over the last three to four decades Christians have, after brief, initial protest, embraced whatever the TV and movie producers have pumped out! And, the level of profanity, sexual content and violence has escalated many times over.

Do they no longer have the capacity to be grieved by that which grieves the Lord? Has the Church become like those of whom the Prophet Jeremiah referenced when he spoke of those who had lost their ability to blush with shame?

There is one particular passage of Scripture that addresses this present situation with crystal clarity: Romans chapter one concludes with grave warnings for those who choose sin over holiness, and closes with these words: "Who knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them."

What is the Apostle saying? Just this; that there are people who would never engage in these sins, but they derive vicarious pleasure out of the activities of those who do! Those who laugh at the profane and blasphemous humor; those who revel in the sexual plots of the TV and movie plots; those who no longer weep over sin but, rather, find entertainment value in it!

If we choose to make light of this, we do so to our own eternal hurt!

The Lord has stirred my heart to address a backslidden Church that is in danger of having it's candlestick taken out of His presence (read Revelation two and three). If this speaks to you, then I beseech you to repent and put such things out of your life! If your heart and hands are clean before the Lord, then I beseech you to join with me in praying for, and in working for, a legitimate revival in the Church today!

As we read the Bible we see that those who comprise the true people of God have always been but a remnant of all who profess. This remnant is open to "whosoever", but is made up of only those who have repented of sin and have embraced the Lordship of Jesus Christ!

May we have ears to hear!

God bless.
