Hi, Edd! I think the problem lies in the liberal interpretation of Paul's declarition to the Corinthians: To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. (1 Corinthians 9:22) But Paul never said that he practiced divination, witchcraft, idolatry... in order to fit in with those who would practice such vices in order to save "all"... Today, many "Christians" believe that we must engineer theatrical feats to gain the interest of the masses. So we find more and more merging of church and Performers (be it orators, singers, etc...); the Word of God has become a secondary issue--the main concern is bigger and better attractions! Apparently, Jesus was utterly wrong when He stated that: ...small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. (Matthew 7:14) "Christians" today are proving Christ wrong... they subscribe to the bigger is better and wealthier is best philosophies which they use to bring everyone (translation: anything goes) to God! Christ was not a performer! When the masses searched Him out with their hypocritical "Rabbi..." Jesus flatly told them: ..."I tell you the truth, you are looking for me, not because you saw miraculous signs but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. (John 6:26) Yes, all Christians have the duty to bring others to Christ; but, that duty does not give us the lisence to conform Scriture to the world's values! God Bless! Angel |

Hi, Edd! My prayers are with you... I pray daily for our Spiritual guidance and nourishment. Jesus told the Samaritan woman that God is Spirit and true worshippers are to worship in Spirit and in Truth. Do not be troubled, He is with you till the end of time! Sometimes it becomes extremely difficult to observe the world about us succumbing into uselessness... seeing "Christian" individuals and organizations merging with the world and rejecting Christ... but that cross is not ours to suffer. Our's is to witness and confess Christ! Our mission is not to save the world from itself but to warn men of their impending doom if they are not fastened to the Vine! Pray for Christian love, understanding, enlightenment, and unity! Christ will do the rest! God Bless! Angel |
