Bible Question: Why do you think this does still not happen today.According to this verse you would think many would qualify in our time also.Is it still ahead for the modern day church? |
Bible Answer: Greetings! See 1 Cor 11:30 - God discipline His children for their rebellion. I also see a parallel here with our "works" - when our motives are selfish, we are in rebellion and our works are "dead." (1 Cor 3:11-15) See Rev 3:1 about the dead church at Sardis. The Laodicean church (Rev 3:15-16)which is characteristic of this age, has works that are neither hot or cold - they are lukewarm - an excellent breeding ground for all sorts of deadly influences. Just something to think about. . . mommapbs |
