“ Great Sermon! ”
God bless all who speak the truth of God's word in context, scripture interprets scripture. God bless all the Pauls, Joshuas, Peters, Elijahs, etc...who speak God's truth because that is truly showing the love of God. I've heard many times we are to speak the truth in love and I've found usually those saying that think speaking the truth of God's word in a way that offends is not speaking out of love but I beg to differ because God's word is love and speaking the truths in His word is done out of love, those who say these things want to silence those who truly speak the truth of God's word and it's offensive to them. If you truly love you will tell them the truth and God is not man that He should lie, He is just, righteous, holy and loving in all that He does and says. He chastises those He loves. God bless your ministry and His angels encamp around you brother Jason because you fear and love Him. That goes for every child of God as well, we have nothing to fear, speak God's truths. There will be persecutions to those who speak what Gods word says but fear not, be fearless and bold like Stephen. God bless! |

“ Great Sermon! ”
Jesus clearly says on the Cross, "It is Finished." I thank Jesus for taking our place on the cross, for completing His work on the old rugged cross. He carried that cross for each of us and we now take up our crosses and follow Him. We follow the One and Only True Shepherd, Jesus Christ and know His voice and another we will not follow, we run from false sheep in wolves clothes! There are many scriptures which warn us not to put our trust in man and what we submit ourselves to in the form of teachings should always line up with God's Holy word and if it veers from God's word in translation I don't want it, been there and I know personally the damage that causes. Always search scriptures when you have questions. When I was a young Christian, I would question teachings but instead of following God's word and seeking Him for my answers I was asking the teachers and I was told not to question, to shut up and obey what I heard. It caused many hurts but I praise God for His mercy, grace and healing in me and for the great lesson I learned from it all which was Trust in The Lord and in His Word so please question and seek God with questions and search His scripture. A true obedient teacher that Christ has sent to teach us will not object to questions,just as Christ answered questions. |

First, thanks to Becca from Maryland for the great and insightful comment. Second, let us hear from others on Jim from Lincoln's comment. I will admit most the people in the church I attend would more than likely vote republican. We don't take polls so I cannot guarantee that. However, I don't believe I have met any that are evangelical Republicans first and Christians as an afterthought. Politics doesn't get as much discussion time as sports, work, or family issues. Anybody else notices that those with whom they have fellowship put their conservative politics ahead of their Christianity? or is this just a straw man? Up here in Maryland, you don't see this too much (you moreso see Word of Faith, an unhealthy emphasis on numerical attendance, and some Purpose Driven occasionally). Glad to hear you're not seeing it too much in your neck of the woods. Brannon Howse is a radio host who lives in Tennessee and he has seen a lot of this just across the board. I think what Jim is talking about is pretty much what Brannon means when he says that some Christians have "put the flag above the cross." Brannon's new book Religious Trojan Horse should address this as he has talked a lot about this issue on his radio show. God bless. |

I thought that the author did not define the success of the American church very well. Our success or power is not determined by our political prowess but by how much we depend on God's Spirit to live daily. I also don't think that the churches and people he used as a presence for "evangelicalism" (ie, Rick Warren, Tim Keller) were good examples. I agree that the American church is in decline, but not for the reasons he said in the article. Sure, Christians have made mistakes and have said things in a certain way that although true, were wrong because of their attitude or motive. But our error as Christians, imo, is that we haven't preached the Gospel *enough*, nor have lived it enough, because it hasn't overall meant enough to us. The population decline in the church is not due to our irrelevance but is due to the fact that the Bible said that people would fall away from the faith in latter times and want to hear things that itch their ears. But the spiritual decline of the church is due to both pastors' and professing Christians' hardening of hearts and their acceptance of false doctrine. Perhaps in a way, population decline may be good for us. The church in US has boasted of numerical success for so long, I long for the body of Christ to be a more cohesive body united by trut |
