Well, don't expect help from the typical preening, used-car-saleman pitchman that most Christian preachers resemble today. They don't preach about sin, so as not to offend anyone, and they don't preach the Gospel of salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, because that's too "exclusive." The weak-kneed fops that comprise the clergy of virtually every denomination, whose guiding belief is to get along with everyone and be liked, are largely to blame for the rampant Biblical ignorance of Christians today. The blind are leading the blind, and they will both fall into the ditch, as Jesus said.
Very well said. Not too long ago I asked a Minister if he was going to start speaking about the war we are in with the Muslims and he said he saw no need to do so. I thanked him and told him that is why I don't attend his church and it was his duty as a MINISTER to do that. He was not happy.
I agree 100%. So many have been afraid to talk about the disease for so long that the afflicted don't know they have it, so why should they want our cure?
"..so as not to offend anyone, and they don't preach the Gospel of salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ.."
These preachers have to eat, don't they? Champagne and caviar.
I think there is something else being said in the article as well. One can belong to a Christian church that is pretty strong on traditional morals and values but really not have a sense of identity, a group-ness sensibility. I think personal autonomy is so ingrained that even conservative Christians are just as susceptible as more secular folks. Like it or not, that's why certain folks find Islam attractive. It is really down with this groupness thing that so many people are craving.
