The Sad Truth

The message of American Christianity has become complacency. Health and wealth. It has become "ho-hum" so to speak. The true biblical worldview has become inverted. God is no longer holy. The trivialization,  the watering down of the gospel has made it less effective. The "health-and-wealth" gospel has successfully distorted the beautiful suffering and horrible privilege that Christians are promised by Jesus. He is no longer the Savior of the world but merely a good teacher and an exemplary human. Now, more than ever, to be a Christian has less to do with what you believe, Who you believe in, and more to do with what you have and who you hang out with. There are more Christians-in-name-only because of the fact that the Bible has not been faithfully preached. If it cost something to be a Christian, the line between black and white would no longer be a muddled gray but a solid separation between those who are and those who aren't. The fence of indifference would be empty. Oh for the day when that is the case. A dangerous thing to say, I know, but I would rather be persecuted than accepted if it meant that Jesus would be glorified. And that is exactly what would happen.
