Bible Note: "If a follower of Christ wanted to live like a demon, they would never admit their need for Jesus in the first place, they could just keep on the path of destruction laid by the enemy; am I right?!?" Dear Prazn, There are a lot of wrong reasons for wanting to follow Christ. There are those, for instance, who just want fire insurance; or want political power; gain health, wealth and happiness; get sober; straighten out there delinguent children; save their marriage, find peace and serenity; etc. etc. The saddest thing is that, through "seeker sensitive" programs (popular among many evangelical churches today), the gospel is watered down to attract these very same people. The rational is to get them coming to church, tell them what they want to hear, and over time the gospel will slowly (by osmosis perhaps) sink into their hearts. This is great marketing but lousy theology! God help the church in America. John Reformed |
