Current Church Trends

Nowadys we are finding ourselves in a tricky position. With all the false teachers we are findng ourselves where the church of Corinth was.

In 1 corinthians 1 Paul says this 10I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. 11My brothers, some from Chloe's household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12What I mean is this: One of you says, "I follow Paul"; another, "I follow Apollos"; another, "I follow Cephas[a]"; still another, "I follow Christ."

There is a false gospel rising inside the Church that preaches and 'easy way out' This appeals to the fleshly desires and so many "believers" are devoted followers of this gospel of no-sacrifice. These men and women leading this movement are frighteningly wealthy and are using this money for very selfish "needs" how neccesary is a private jet? We are being caught up in the same thing Paul warned us about here

2 Corinthians11
3But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. 4For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough. 5But I do not think I am in the least inferior to those "super-apostles." 6I may not be a trained speaker, but I do have knowledge. We have made this perfectly clear to you in every way.

This is a false Christ being taught. Jesus specifically said not to store up wealth where moth and rust destroy. He said this about these men" Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean."

All we can do now to remain true to the Gospel in this day is the same way we should always remain true. Study of God's Word, the Bible. We've GOT to remain in his Word to remain true to the real Jesus. We are to be narrow-minded in the Truth. Truth is supreme and there is ONLY ONE TRUTH and that is in what Jesus said and did and the example He left for us

As I read your blog, I recalled an old Petra song (I'm an old Petra fan) called "Marks of the Cross", by Ronny Cates and Bob Hartman. The song is based on Matthew 10:39 and Luke 9:62

These days shallow and feeble resolve abound
And true devotion and passionate fervor are seldom found
But there are those who often feel they're all alone
Those of whose identities are known
By the mark of the crucified Son

(Chorus)
Praying, caring, loving, sharing
These are the marks of the cross
Giving, bearing, feeling, daring
To lay down your life on the line
Forgetting what you leave behind
And willing to suffer the loss
Of the marks of the cross

These days the search for detachment and solitude
Lead to retreating to fortresses no one would dare intrude
Then there are those whose restless burdens start to show
Those who unmistakably most know
There's no crown 'til we suffer the cross

All our identity rests in the knowledge
Of who we're created to be
We are His workmanship, made in His image
For all of creation to see
The marks of His pain and His glory


Blessings!

Thank You for your very wise words. Unity comes only from immersion in God's word. His word is, as promised is inspired and preserved in not only the "original manuscripts", (that no longer exist... .) but in The King James AV1611 Bible. Confusion was first brought to Adam and Eve on corrupting the word of God and has continued ever since. Unity is God's work through the inspiration of His word. The splits and contentions became more numerous as the corrupted versions of God's word permeated out society. I'm sure this post will stir the waters of anger and pride. Please research this as I did, maybe starting with Sam Gipp's "The understandable History of the Bible".
There is only one Truth. ... in Christian Love, Jon

Dear Pounders, I read some of your posts..and I resonate your views.
Not all, but I really appreciate the fact that you're so young, and so on FIRE for TRUTH.
I love that! One verse that I wish to bring up to validate your concern about
false teaching:

"The coming of the the Antichrist is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness"
2 thess 2:9

I've been so gullible and so hungry as a sheep that I would believe everything, every preacher said, hook, line, sinker.
But now, slowly.. by His grace, I'm learning to "consider" the grass before I eat it.
Great post!
