The Church in 2008

Rev. DL Whittaker, Washington

 

 

With so many churches, worldwide, I think it is safe to say,  the church will be what the people, who make up the church, wish it to be.

 

I see the church going through some rough terrain, and I think, largely, the reason is that we don't know "Who We Are" in Christ. We have little concept of who, we the church, are.  We know who we say we are, but how influential are we, in reaching the un-churched Everyday, lately, I see on television, and read in the newspaper, things that are potentially hurting the church. Why Because we have decided that we have a great need to modernize ourselves in order to draw people.  Churches today, don't look at things the way our Forefathers did.

 

The church would have rather taken a beating, than have to admit to some of the autrocities that we are seeing and hearing about today.  Jesus said, "Upon this rock, I will build my church, and the gates of Hell, shall not prevail it."

 

Why is the church hiring clergy that are using the church to satisfy their own physical pleasure?  Why is the church deliberately hiring sinners to fill the pulpit, because we can't discriminate. And after all, this isn't the dark ages anymore.  Folks, when I look at weekend Christian TV, I am appalled at the presentations that are no different from what the world portrays in dark places.

 

The church in 2008, Must Be Taken Back by God's People, who still believe that the Old Gospel is still important today.  If I thought that in order to worship, I had to compromise what I know to be right, just to gain a place in society, and its religious setting,  I am afraid I would have to say, "I don't want any part."

 

God is soon coming for HIS church. Any other, He Will Not Know. Wake up church. Stand up and be counted. It's not a game we should be playing, but getting out the unadulterated truth of the Gospel. Come on Pastors and Teachers, it's not what we think the word says, and means, but what we know it to be.

 

Let the church in 2008 be greater than any other time in our entire life.

 

God bless you.
