"To put it bluntly, they are self-deceived. They think they are following Jesus when they are really just following a nominally religious crowd." by Wes 2022
One of the reasons I am convinced we are living in the last days is the flippant and disrespectful way in which the churches handle the word of God, as though it is just good literature that can be enjoyed but no need to obey.
The Christians I meet today are more interested in their cultural traditions and family practices that the Bible gets in the way of those treasured memories and safe feelings.
The knowledge of the Bible for most believers today is based more on culture and tolerance of whatever they want to do or believe. Very little reverence is paid to Christ Himself. In fact, we almost never hear the name of Jesus Christ roll off their tongues. They use the word "God" or other nondescript titles like; "The man upstairs", to avoid embarrassing themselves.
I hear more about politics and country pride than I do about Christ, in fact, Christ is almost never mentioned but just take away a freedom and watch their faces turn angry and hard.
Matthew 10:32-34 "Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father in heaven. 33 But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven. 34 Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.…"
God said that we would be separated from our families because very few people are authentically born-again, most are on that wide road to hell believing they will make it to heaven.
Matthew 15:7-9 "…7 You hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you: 8 These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. 9 They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’ ”…"
Do not be one of those who play at Christianity to make yourself feel safe, if you are one of these, repent and become born again, and be saved for eternity.
