I cannot give song and dance in hope of bringing you to the Cross. My dance, my song is to worship God and glorify Him, not a device to capture your ear. I exalt the name of Jesus Christ the King. I will not put on a circus side show hoping to grab the attention of the worldly, knowing that I must “package” the message in such a way that it will be palatable to the masses. The Word is honey to my tongue and salve to my ears and heart. I will not try to adjust, attenuate, morph or realign His Word so that it conforms to worldly need. The Word is already the answer to “every” need, the solution to “every” problem. I pray that the Lord God has placed a desire in “your” heart to hear and obey His Word. I cannot create, develop or manufacture that desire in “your” heart. I will give you the seed of God’s Word, encouragement, assistance, training and love but I cannot give you the desire to have a relationship with God, that is something He gave to you.
Accommodating those who would be saved is built into the church. Allowing the worldly to bring into the church the lust for entertainment is not. The problem is in the premise, “Church is boring”. If I must vie for your attention competing with multimedia then I will lose each time. For my job is to spread the Good News of Christ, planting the seed into “every” ground. I do not embrace “witchcraft” hoping that my delivery will somehow make something transpire. That my delivery is the mechanism which produces growth is satanic deception. I trust in the Word of God for it always returns investment. Those who have an ear to hear will hear the truth of the Word and seek God. Certainly I must pray to the Lord to allow me to deliver the Word with authority, clarity and abundance, but whether or not I am a “professional” public speaker has very little if anything to do with the Power of God’s Word. God’s Word is powerful without me.
Having unbelievers observe communion, practice fellowship and practice false worship is an abomination. Churches that allow believers to become part of the fellowship have exchanged worship for opportunity and potential tithe. If you are sitting in a church that welcomes unbelievers without establishing the need for repentance, then “Come Out”. If the birds of the air are nesting in the mustard tree seeking the power of the Church without being transformed by the Power of the Gospel then, “Come Out”. Would you seek illegal drugs, immoral relationships or witchcraft in order to alleviate some pain in your life? Absolutely not. Just as any Christian dabbling in the sinful practices of the world is horrific, so too is it wrong for an unbeliever to dabble in Christianity. If you have a church leadership that consistently goes against, accommodates, twists or warps the apostles teaching then “Come Out”. Even if your church has a million dollar “entertainment” program, reclining chairs and a T.V. show on prime time cable yet does not preach repentance, rebirth and faith, “Come Out”. Read the book of Jude, by the way it is only one page in length, and you will see the warning for the Christian in “Today’s” Church.
We live in evil times, ACT accordingly. Praise God in the Name of Jesus Christ the Lion of Judah.
Amen and amen.
