Where's all the born-again Christians? I see them nowhere..I run into so many people who are so far from God..I don't even think they know he exists. It's sad. There's alot of people who claim to be Christians but believe in VAIN..They don't really KNOW Jesus. It's frustrating because some of these people i know..is this what Jesus meant by many are called but few are chosen? And how do you feel about being a Christian when the rest of the world rejects Christ and makes a mockery out of your faith?
Few are chosen..

It is unfortunate that the Christianity of today is quite different than the Christianity of the Bible. In a society that is attacking the Bible, there are way too many compromises taking place among God's professed people. Persecution may come, but we must stand for truth. It has always been that way for His remnant throughout Bible history. Why would it be so different now?
As this world's history comes to a close, and as we look for the glorious appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, let us cling to Him dearly, as this is the only source of our strength during these trying times. No compromise with the Word of God.
God Bless

Read the letters to the seven churches in Revelation. There too within a generation the love of the church had begun to wax cold, and the 'overcomers' stood out from among them. The truth is that God always works though a remnant. We have seen it in the UK. Now it is your turn. Meanwhile the Gospel is spreading, growing and advancing in places like Indonesia. Their time has come.
Mat 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
To say you believe in Jesus does not make you a Christian. Walking in the Spirit makes people a Christian.
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

The problem with most "christians" nowadays is that they're stuck on milk. They don't want to try the steak. There's over 2 billion people who say they believe in Jesus. But only a very small minority understand His message, and are actively obeying Him and growing in their faith.
This is why the Messiah said His people are a "little flock".
Luke 12:32
Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.

Whoa to you, Pharisee Mikko! Read the following and learn:
To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable: “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee (thats you Mikko) stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’
“But the tax collector (that's me) stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’ “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

I would agree that very few people really seem to take the Lord’s commandments seriously. What really bothers me is the number of church leaders who don’t seem to take them seriously. It seems to me the majority of people are trying to win the praise of people rather than of the Lord. Read this. These are the words of Jesus:
[43] I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.
[44] How can you believe, who receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God? John 5:43-44 RSV
