Within
the Western sphere, which is predominately Christian, there is a moral and
spiritual erosion taking place. It is happening on the visible, but more
insidiously, in the unseen realms of Christendom. This eating away at the very
fabric of Christian faith and the wearing-away of Biblical morality has been
going on for decades.
In a face
to face debate Christian apologists in moral, scientific, educational and
relational realms more than hold their own. To counteract the authority of
Scripture and its support for absolute Truth and righteousness eroding tactics
began to take place. Innocent sounding terms began to appear which were
designed to cause sinkholes to collapse confidence in Scripture and debase
Christian values. Evolutionary theories were tolerated and ultimately usurped
Biblical teaching in many Denominations. So many Christians didn’t take notice.
Those who did and spoke up about impending dangers were resisted even by fellow
believers. It wasn’t nice or ‘Christian’ to make others feel uncomfortable. It
was viewed as being intolerant, unscientific even though the effects of this ‘sinkholes’
were evident.
Now what
are we facing? Erosion of Christian marriage by the same-sex advocates, even
within the Church scene. The safe school program which is really a grooming
plan for sex. Put that alongside the push for various views on Gender and the
use of change rooms and toilets for how you think you are at that moment. What
a great opportunity for perverts. Why is there this erosion of what our Lord
plainly said ‘in the beginning God made them male and female?’ The moment a
voice is raised against these ridiculous programs lawsuits and anti-discrimination
slurs are thrown-up. Unbelief by many
who hold positions of leadership within the Church is also an issue. This is
nothing new. It is much wider today due to the ease of technology and the
infiltration of false teachers though such media.
It
intrigues me how the deceit of Islam is either ignore of accepted. To simply
quote what their books state, refer to past or current history is to have Islamophobia.
Yet, it is okay to discriminate, insult or make hefty fines against Christians
who hold fast to their belief system. Free speech is the result of past heroes
within Christendom. Today it’s being bullied into silence by deceit and threats.
To appease some from different cultures and belief systems, nice tolerant and
probably half-interested Christians accept downgrading Christmas and Easter
recognitions. Certain businesses, begun by Christians, have sold out to Halal.
Have they been bribed? Bullied? Or is the dollar more valued that Christ. CEO’s
should think that through in the light of Matthew 16:26. Gaining the whole
world but losing your soul is to lose everything.
People should
not judge a political or religious group according to how well liked or
disliked a person from such a group happens to be. Check out their rules, their
belief system. That is what will ultimately dominate their behaviour when they
have ascendency. Sharia law is Islam’s principle. How it gets there is by
masquerade and force. Cast your eyes around the globe and behold it at work.
Can the
Church survive? Yes! Christ declared it would. Will it suffer? It is already in
certain countries. It will happen here unless or because we take a stand for
Biblical truth, righteousness and godly relationships. Politicians in many
parties have been hypnotised by anti-Christian forces. Those who have their
eyes open are slandered and misrepresented in media and personal threats. Pray
for our, your country and the politicians who stand for truth and morality.
Otherwise, what proverbs says about a country dominated by the ungodly will
sweep over us. Wickedness kills faith, morality and the social fabric of a
Christian influenced community. May God give us courage to remain true.
