Readers of this blog know that I rarely ever comment on the acts performed and the sins committed by those of the world. Many believers rail against such concerns as gay pride parades, the absence of prayer in public schools, violent video games, etc. However, I choose to steer away from that for one simple reason: It’s the same reason that I don’t blog about fleas and mosquitoes biting people . . . because it’s their nature! In the same way, what’s the point of blogging about and lamenting over what sin the world has committed today? To commit sin is what the worldly do, it’s in their nature. They are the unregenerate so why blog about fish that swim, birds that fly, or the world that sins?
In contrast, I do blog about issues when the Church acts like the world. I do blog about false doctrine being taught from pulpits, lukewarm lifestyles, heretical doctrines of demons being spread by the cults and professing Christians, and so on. We are to be watchman to warn others of the dangers of the wolves that are surrounding the flock. Sadly too many pastors today who are supposed to be the protecting shepherds are preoccupied with filling seats and being popular than they are with keeping the wolves out and preaching sound doctrine. So now, many believers have taken this role upon themselves and are sounding the alarm to warn others
The Church is supposed to be separate from the world, not conformed to this world, and certainly not to be friends with it. Those who violate this do not have the love of the Father in them and they are enemies of God. Not my words, but Thy words!
Dear RN,
Great post…I’ve thought this exact thing many times but I’m not nearly as articulate as you are to be able to lay it all out like that…
God bless,
bob
