Subject: Question rephrased |
Bible Note: Joe There is a another reason a church dwindles. Many people don’t want to hear the truth they want to hear things that tickle their ears. 2 Thes. 2:3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, I believe this verse is telling us what we are seeing in the church today. People drifting from the truth to a lie. If a man stands up and tells a congregation that God wants them happy, rich, and healthy he will have more people next week. If a man stands up and says there are going to trials and tribulations come into your life but God is more that sufficient to see you through them people will not be back. Pick up your cross and follow me is not a very popular teaching today. Most people want to hear Jesus was filthy rich and you can be also. EdB |
