State of tHe Average "Christian"

[Gods_Chosen_85]

Rebellious! Disobiedent! Self-Righteous! Un-Holy! Un-Repented!

This has become the spiritual state of the AVERAGE "Christians" today!
To many Christians profess Jesus Christ with thier lips but thier hearts and the lives they live are far from Christ! We go to church and sit on our pews, and for the more involved people; we may even run, shout, dance, and clap our hands but it has become a show and routine that people expect of us!

We claim to be holy and yet we sit in front of a television or movie screen on a daily basis and fill our eyes and our hearts with every lustful, adulterous, murderous, fornicating imagery we can find. We watch our shows with the "funny" innuendos and gorey violence...the music we listen to isnt any better and we still claim to be a holy people!

We want Jesus to save us from hell but not from our sins! We take bibical truths and twist them to make us feel comfortable! We gossip and tear down the lives of our brothers and sisters in the name of godly concern for thier salvation! We readily embrace conformity and compromise in the name of being relevant!

We stick our nose up at those that arent like us and our love for others has grown cold. We no longer feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and visit those in prison out of true concern but out of a disgruntled obligation!

Yet in our own eyes we are right and feel God is pleased with us! We feel that we or the ideal Christian and people should be more like us and if they arent we cast them aside as nothing! We live in our sins unrepented and rebelllious to the Word of God.

We as a body have become lukewarm and apathetic, the body desires to be more like the world instead of being seperated from the world. And when someone stands up and tries reel us in before we get to far out we label them as conservative, legalistic, old fashioned, and cultic!

There are somethings in the bible that should not be up for debate! Im not saying you cant ask questions but we need to watch our attitudes behind the questioning!

The State of The Average Christian is... We need to get our act together, get back into the Word, and learn what it really means to walk in Holiness before its too late!

This will not pertain to everyone but to more than would actually like to think so!

It's true I was called cultic a few days back because I stood firm on the truth of God's word.(To clarify,Some Christians label those who experience the Holy Spirit as having a psychosomatic experience.Also some Christians do not believe in the gifts and say if there was gifts they were a one time thing.Anything to do with the Holy Spirit and his workings are confusion in the church,Yes I had one person to suggest a book about this and they even went as far as to say this was from Satan and therefore any teaching out of the book of Acts was not what it really says and if we take it for what ACTS really says then it's a cultic teaching! And they think we are blinded!

Well, that sounds pretty critical and judgmental.

I'm glad that Jesus is my Judge and you are not.

[Isaiah]

I am aware that this is taking place within modern day cultural churches, however as Paul stated so plainly before his departure, "For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock" (Acts 20:29). However as this may and is apparently taking place amongst modern culturalism, let us not forget or remove them that are obviously living for God wholeheartedly in Spirit and in Truth and delegate or believe that the devil will have the upper hand in these last times. "God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias (Elijah)? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, wjo have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. Even so at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace" (Romans 11:3-5). Thank God There still remains a remnant
