I recently posted an image on my face with a thought from James Smith that said "TRUE Christians have never been the world's favorites."
This phrase has made me think a lot because the current church has gone crazy to be accepted and to be loved. Yes, although it may seem crazy, the church has gone crazy for being accepted by a vile, sinful, evil-loving world even though what Jesus promised us is that we would be hated by the world.
But it is there where the word TRUE in the phrase that this man said takes on meaning, and that is that by creating a gospel, a Christianity that is loved by the world (usually more out of ambition to have churches of thousands) then the gospel, Christianity stops being true.
We love Marcos Witt and we are happy because the world has recognized him with 5 grammys.???? Tons of unconverted people love the current songs of Jesús Adrian, thousands love the songs of Tercer Cielo, millions of ungodly people love Joel Osteen, Danilo Montero and his lakewood and the truth is I have seen several preaches from them and they preach so beautifully that my flesh love. I do not deny it, my flesh loved them but the Holy Spirit within me hated them.
Everyone in the churches now wants to imitate Hillsong's shows, we love Hillsong and its shows and every church has wanted to imitate them even though there has been no church with more sexual scandals than Hillsong.
That's why we have church altars that look like the stage of a standup or a concert. And why do we do it like that? Because that is what the world loves and I am sure that if the pastor stands up and says "they turn on those lights for me and they accommodate me in this church, because here you don't come to a concert or a conversation, or to a stand up comedy or to a show, here comes something serious"
I am sure that the pastor who says that is immediately branded as religious and the courses were taken and the books were read (usually written by non-Christians or apostates or heretics) on how to attract people to give the pastors a thousand reasons why. those who should leave it that way if they want to attract people and make the church feel "comfortable"
I think I already said that I have not seen a worse exposition of the gospel in my life than what I saw in CCN but it is not just them, today most churches preach a gospel where they are told that they are going to be blessed, (I once saw a call to receive Christ where the pastor said to the unconverted "How many want to be blessed?") obviously everyone wants to be blessed! and obviously they all went "to receive Christ" - the Christ who blesses -
You know, once they invited me to a church activity and when we went (my uncle Wen took me because I wanted to attend another church where my life wouldn't be so tortured) the thing is, we went and it was a blast! It was to attract young people, and all the little sisters were in bathing suits, I went, I went. Although my flesh told me (Wow, that's cool! I told my uncle "No uncle, let's get out of here" and then I thought "Who doesn't fill churches like that?"
But that is Christianity today and if someone says something they say that they are religious and they blame all the success they have had and that they are even apostles. -And so who doesn't- And how people relate having full churches with doing the right thing...
Current Christianity is based on phrases like: God wants to bless you, he wants to heal you, he wants to prosper you God is going to bring harmony in your family... LIE!!! Jesus said "The father will be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law" Luke 12:53-55
Join me in reading the sad story in Hebrews 11:36-40
The TRUE gospel can bring hate, it often brings division... that is the true gospel. A few months ago I met one of Dante Gebel's brothers (Sergio Gebel - who has been my advisor on several occasions), Dante Gebel for me is the Vico C of pastors because sometimes he says some correct things and other times he says tremendous things. heresies.
They had a division because Dante Gebel's brother lives a Pentecostal-Sane Doctrine gospel and Dante Gebel lives that Vico C style gospel. They love each other but there is a division, a heretical gospel and a true gospel cannot coexist together.
But we want to be loved, we want to be accepted, whether because of the ambition to have thousands or the desire to achieve more, the truth is that in the process the gospel has been diluted and perverted.
Today pastors do not want to talk about repentance or sin because it is "offensive" to people, today it has been decided not to talk about anything that makes people feel offended. That's why we don't talk about repentance or sin, we don't even talk about hell because all of that makes people feel offended.
Then we would have to question if they are really Christians, if they are really churches. I remember that one time we congregated in a church in Anaco, which the rest of the churches called "The Light and Life Club" (I don't know if they continue today). being so) and if they do not preach the basis of the gospel which is repentance, then it is not a church, it is a club. It is impossible to preach a gospel that is true and at the same time not offensive. IMPOSSIBLE!
Many activities, many activities to empower you, you can, you are, you are called to success, this is your season...(by the way "season", the buzzword in the church) God called you to bless you, God has a wonderful plan for you...
For many true Christians, God's wonderful plan for them was to be torn apart by lions and even today "the wonderful plan" for many true Christians is for sects to cut off their right hand as a warning if they convert and then kill them and throw them away. in a common grave. And that is the true gospel.
The true gospel is Jesus saying "Leave everything for me, and I tell you that the world is going to hate you and they are going to persecute you and kill you because of me" John 15:18-27, Matthew 24:9-13, John 16: 2-4 but preaching that does not fill churches or make pastors rich and make us apostles of 20 churches or make them loved by the world.
Yes, we seem cooler, we don't seem as religious... but the message was lost, which is REPENT!!! And today preaching does not have that message, which is why it is not the gospel, that is, many have filled churches without preaching the gospel to them, and yes, if it is possible, Joel Osteen and CCN know very well how to do it and you can do it too, but you will have to a full church, you will have a lot of money but you will not be living a true gospel and you and all those people will go to hell.
Right now there is a big fight going on because there is a group of people doing things against the Bible and there is this class of "Christians" who do not judge that everything is love, who do not talk about repentance, who do not talk about sin that came out to "show them all his love" by telling them that of course they are going to be saved, that God does not condemn them and accepts them and it does not matter if they marry people of the same sex, God loves them the same and of course they go to heaven.
This type of Christians already created a division in the largest evangelical denomination in the United States because one group stood up to defend biblical truths and the other group opened the doors and "accepted" them and they have even put new pastors to lead "churches." ".
Come on, tell me again that the true gospel does not divide.
Sometimes I have been told that I speak a lot with salt but not oil. The bottom line is that even though in the world-friendly gospel everyone loves you and you can have mega churches and mansions and private planes, the true gospel is the only one that saves. And yes, it is nice to be loved by the world, our flesh will love it, I don't deny it, but it will not bring salvation or eternal life.
Remember that I do not read the comments you write in the groups, go to my face and there I will answer and receive advice as you have already done and I will also respond as appropriate.
Kisses, I am the profebubba
