1 | What does "Edens Dawn Light Mean?" | Heb 2:9 | BradK | 200952 | ||
Hi Steve, Good comments with which I heartily agree! I had a similar conclusion in reading the background to Peterson's "Message". If only we'd not stoop down- dumb down- to the masses. If the Bible is that uninteresting and unreadable, I'd submit that speaks a great deal more of the "MTV", 30-Second-sound-bite pop culture-mentality that afflicts us, than it does the Bible itself. The Church needs the unadulterated Word of God even more today! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

2 | What does "Edens Dawn Light Mean?" | Heb 2:9 | humbledbyhisgrace | 200953 | ||
"The Church needs the unadulterated Word of God even more today!" Amen my Brother! Amen and Amen! Brad, you know why dummying it down works so well? I fear it is because that is what so many want! If there was a better understanding of scripture, nonsense like the message would never sale much less find its way into the church. Yet you find just the opposite. There needs to be men and women of God stand up in their homes and in their local congregations and lead the flock back to the word of God! No compromise! I have had to do battle in my own home and local church on these matters. Many men and woman of God are being deceived. Too many decisions are made in the church without prayer and without spiritual understanding. I have much to learn myself and never would consider myself as one who has mastered anything. But I am amazed every time I have an opportunity to share the word with someone and there reaction to it. It is as profound with Christians as it is with the lost. This always blows my mind! You would expect to here Amen's from the brethren as what they are hearing is not news to them. But the Amen's seem to be few and far between :-( I think it's time we become unpopular in our own congregations (if they are having these problems) and trust in the Lord to work through us to rid the church of the corruption that has crept in and is creeping in at every turn.

"Oh, that I might live to see that day when professors shall not walk in vain show; when they shall please themselves no more with a name to live, being spiritually dead; when they shall no more (as many of them now are) be a company of frothy, vain, and unserious persons, but the majestic beams of holiness shining from their heavenly and serious conversation shall awe the world, and command reverence from all who are about them; when they shall warm the hearts of those who come nigh them, so that men shall say, 'God is truly in these men!'" -- John Flavel (1630-1691) | ||||||
