God is Removing the Lampstands

When we are researching a particular church, going to their Facebook page and their website we would expect to find a ton about Jesus Christ, wouldn't we?

 
When we go to a particular church's Facebook page and website and there is nothing at all about Jesus Christ or their beliefs, we have to wonder whether or not they are afraid of speaking about Christ.
A woman once told me she didn't write about Christ on her page because she didn't want to offend her non-Christian friends.

 
I am not able to understand a believer who is afraid to speak about Christ. Facebook is one of the biggest evangelistic tools we have in our day. We can reach the world from our living rooms without the hassle or expense of travel. Even the poorest people have internet and can witness Christ.

 
We are missionaries, are we not? If we are hiding our faith from non-believers is that not evidence that we are ashamed of Christ?

 
An elderly woman who attended church all her life once told me that "my religion is a personal matter." This is exactly the opposite of what God tells us in His Word.

 
Sadly this is the condition of the modern church today, hiding their Christianity in order to fit into the world while gleefully telling another Christian they are Christians too.

 
Most gatherings today have become social clubs for conservative causes but have no interest in evangelism or personal witnessing to their community.

 
Mark 16:15
"And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation."

1 Peter 3:15
"But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,"

Our world is where we live every day. We need not travel across the world to witness, we have opportunities and time to do so in our own little world where we live.

 
Matthew 5:16
"In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."

The lampstand has been removed from many church gatherings today, repentance on the part of these gatherings is needed.

 
Revelation 2:5
"5 Therefore, remember from where you have fallen, and repent, and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and I will remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent."
