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.
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.
