Do We Love The “Form Of Godliness” So Much That We Deny The Power?
Are we, as Christians, so mesmerized at our little corner of the Christian world that anything that passes as Christian is immediately embraced without “testing the spirits”? Has Satan made us so numb that we are not able to discern the spiritual? Have we surrendered our priesthood for a seat in the pew? Have we been conditioned to “shut up and put up” rather than be truly one.
I am afraid that we have equated the institutional commercialized church with the real assembly of the saints called out by God from the world to be His own possession. We have made a church in the image of man and has asked God to bless it, as if it was the one that He gave His only Son for.
Have we so blurred the lines between the authentic and the synthetic? Are we ready to face our God and explain all that we did in His name was really worth it and not just wood, hay and stubble?
Are our little temples testifying to the unity of believers or to the McDonaldization of the faith? Are we not bought with a price? Have we so trampled the blood of Christ that going to church and tithing are the only requirements of those in the faith?
Where are the prophets of God? Where is the defense of the gospel? What have we done with His song, Ma?
