Are You Being Conformed to This World or Conformed to the Son?
After being confirmed in the
Kingdom of God, so many people actually think they have already attained to ALL truth
just by getting saved. There are evil spirits all around waiting to kill, steal
and destroy the sheep that belong to God. Many may think their doctrine alone
can defend them. Only a complete Metamorphoo[1]
or change[2]
will keep the advance against the Kingdom of Darkness under the authority of
Christ. If this change is not in effect in our lives, then the standards of the
church will suffer to the core of her foundation. At the end of the day,
spineless Christianity produces spineless Christians.
These are just a few tenants or alternate belief notions espoused in Churches today:
ΓΌ We won’t preach against
fornication because some people may get offended.
ΓΌ We can’t teach about
different kinds of family lifestyles outside of God’s design, because hey,
everybody has their own take on family. Everyone from the Pastor to the choir has
their own definition of family.
ΓΌ We won’t teach about
non-biblical sexual lifestyles and call that sin because we don’t want to be
labeled has being hateful.
Laws are being created that
are against anyone who would use the word of God to identify sin. The sin that
I am speaking about is falling short of the glory of God’s plan for marriage. Additionally,
our identity from our natural birth state is also being challenged and redefined.
If we’re born a male and don’t like it, we change it and vice versa if we weren’t
satisfied with being born female.
In fact, some preachers avoid
the word sin altogether, because it’s too negative. The temptation to not use
the gospel in subjects that might be offensive has produced a new recipe for a trendy
sermon. The Apostle Paul’s preaching and teaching in the First Century was
unquestionably confrontational for example. Bible teaching should have these four elements
in order to be effective:
Reproof, Correct, Rebuke and to Exhort[3]
Freedom of speech is dying a
slow death in the churches.
Freedom is one-sided at best. The enemy has the
high ground, because there have been generations calling Christians the enemy to
society. We must have a revival in the church--a true revival of holiness, and
strong preachers and teachers. This will reverse the trend of entropy from the foundation of our salvation, which is surrendering our life at The Cross. Consequently letting Him live His life through our life in the power of the Resurrection. Too many fads and fancies
are taking place in our churches for the sake of inclusion and diversity along
with the guise of attracting the youth. Some of these antics are unbelievable and diminish the light Jesus so brightly shines.

| Freedom of speech is dying a slow death in our churches. |
Leaders of denominations, independent,
and local pastors are either too hungry for numbers and money in these hard
times or just ignorant of the deceivers poised toward our churches. These deceivers
capitalize on our arrogant thinking to let things be as they are as we try to
save ourselves. You can’t hide in the darkness of denominationalism and succumb
to the bend and sway of notions that are not biblical, you weren't called for
that. Let’s get a spiritual spine, and stand against the very appearance of
evil, letting the Word of God be the judge.
Talk to you next time, God
Bless.

to change into another form, to transform, to transfigure Christ
appearance was changed and was resplendent with divine brightness on the mount
of transfiguration.

according] to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. NKJV

profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
