Most Christians have become fat happy & lazy who could care less about anything other looking good & sounding spiritual.
It’s sickening. Nobody preaches about sin or 10 commandments or “deny yourself take up your cross & follow Me”.
It’s “God blessed me with a huge house I can’t afford but it impresses the Bible study”. Or “God doesn’t care what you do. Just confess”
This is idolatry & pride.
The church as we know it, as we grew up in is disappearing. Home churches will be the norm.
From 1948...
The majority of churches are businesses. Period.
At this point too many have nothing to do with the Body of Christ.
I have accepted what’s happening now as God judging America. And I believe that good will come from this, because either people will wake up, turn towards God and revive America’s promise — or we’re fast approaching the End Times.
Either way, all is well.
Bkmrk.
I happen to be part of a Torah Observant Messianic congregation. We fully believe that Yeshua is the only way to salvation, but we also believe the Torah and the 10 Commandments are just as viable today. We do as much as we are able concerning the commands of Torah (obviously can’t do animal sacrifices...not needed and there’s no Temple anyway). But, the defining thing is what Yeshua did for us on the Cross.
My pastor (jokingly calls himself a ‘rabstor’) has never swayed about abortion, homosexuality, or the idiocy that is currently going on with the Left. He’s as conservative as the day is long, and I am glad to know my fellow churchmembers agree with him. Are we perfect? Nope.
I, too believe that part of this ‘spiraling out of control’ is part of G-d’s plan to ‘separate the wheat from the chaff’. He know’s what He’s doing, and I have to trust Him on this. It may very well be that things are going to get really bad, and may very well be dangerous for Christians and Jews in the not-too-distant future.
The role of the church in our society is to afflict the comfortable. Once that task is accomplished the church can proceed to comfort the afflicted.

A Socialistic Gospel

Icky parts Deleted.
All milk,No Meat.
We had to stop going to shull after two separate rabbis used the service to damn Trump. Total Leftards.
Told a slovenly staff member at a hospital which I worked,"Negligence and apathy and your smoke breaks are not going to heal anyone." I was written up for that one however the apathy and rot is so predominant now I can see people watching it all burn while standing in a bread line
I'm over my expiration date so can't do much anymore but you're right. Western society has been rotting for decades.
We ‘FRgirls’ are in step and agreement!!
We are Methodist. John Wesley Methodist! They were going to take our temperature but are leaving that to us, THANK GOD! As you say, what would happen if I had a temperature?!!!
We had talked of a home church for years as well as small gatherings during the week for Bible Study and prayer. Well, COVID and closed church services forced us to do this. I want to tell believers- this has been an amazing Holy Spirit time for our group!!! An Acts church in which we are able to abide by The Word, do works that our spirits are filled with the triune godhead, and just really LOVE without all the politics! We are 13 people from 5 to 80 and the children are hearing what is taught!!!!
We have communion. We believe that it doesn’t have to be blessed by a man/pastor/elder, that when we ask, Jesus will bless our table!!!....we know He has!!!!
SO DO NOT HEASITATE TO HAVE A SMALL GROUP!!! The Holy Spirit will be attending also!!! Praise God from whom ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!!!
What in the world are you talking about!?
Are there only well known left-wing churches where you live? I can name 5 conservative churches off the top of my head in less than 10 seconds in Fairbanks. Not all Baptist either.
Come on! Look for the Truth, and you will find it and those who follow it.
