Topics and Issues

Welcome .In the last six to seven years my wife and I have discovered a disturbing trend in modern church life. In the past the perceivable lines between Biblical conservative and compromising ( culturally progressive ) Christians has been very distinct. No longer. I am not speaking to the arena of politics in this odd and intriguing election year although Biblical values should have a bearing in that arena. This trend is more related to the current trajectory of the church and how it defines ministry , the Gospel, and really God Himself. Change IS in the AIR and if we do not perceive it internally then it’s dangers are even more REAL.

Here are some of the topics and issues this blog will address :

*What Happened to  Eternal Clarity ?

*Why is the Local Church Getting into Health Care and Human /Social Services?                  The answer will shock you!

*Faith Vs Financing – Two worlds collide

*Is Jesus  Once again being Wounded in the House of His Friends?

*If the Church Could Identify its Nemesis ,”What Would That Look Like?”                       There is an enemy within our gates and it’s Leadership is ruinous. SPECTRE ‘s tentacles are everywhere in evangelicalism.

*Is your Children’s Church and Sunday School Curriculum Tainted?

*Can a Biblical Church Partner with Government ?

*The Church Among  the Agendas-How and WHY we are Compromising with the LGBTQ, Abortion, Gaming, Drug Legalization Agenda’s and other Destructive Social Ills .

*Church Among the Ruins- Our  Post Judgement Future .

*Fear and Loathing in The Pulpit and Elder Board-How our Churches are  being Transformed right under our noses.

*The Cult of Planned Giving. Watch OUT -They are after the old folks money!

*Can we be Doctrinal  / Theological Conservatives and Cultural Progressives?                           This is a serious issue. Many ministers display a type of bi-polar disorder

*A Deeply Personal and Painful Struggle- Sounding an Alarm People Do Not want to Hear.

Thirty Pieces of Silver 

Luke 18:8 ask a red ink question. The Lord Himself ask “Nevertheless when the Son of Man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth”. The parable is of the widow and the unjust judge who did not fear God nor regard man . The purpose of the parable was “to the end” that we might persist in prayer. Today I think may of us are as weary as this woman .She cannot get  a hearing and the person whose direct influence would change her situation is godless and disregarding toward her and her cause.She has a compromised leader.

I think MANY in the church world identify with this woman today.We are in need. We are looking to leaders who are otherwise “occupied” and we are left weary and waiting. The great irony of today’s church landscape is that is literally littered with leadership. More degrees and pedigrees than ever and yet few who provide the kind of Biblical forthrightness even sinners long to hear. Between “Seeker Sensitive ” and “Social Justice” we have tied the tongues of our pulpits and drained the power of the life changing Gospel- substituting in it’s place  an anemic diversity of group therapy Bible study- or hand  patting in the pastors office . Today’s most urgent needs are lost in the shuffle of fear and ironically theology is substituted for Faith.

If you are in need today and your leadership is otherwise “occupied” or fearful ,or unbelieving – you really need to find out why.This blog is going to help in that struggle to understand.We are going to expose together some little known realities in the church world today.But your “help cometh from the Lord of Host -maker of heaven and earth ” Psalm 121 – look unto Him and be as persistent as this widow in Luke 18. And together lets uncover and expose and the truth and seek to help our lost leaders find their way home to the Throne.
