Those of us who speak up will be labeled old fashioned or legalists.
There are over 8 billion individuals on this planet. Don't worry about what any will label you as. When God calls you his own, their opinion means nothing.

For the last hundred years or so, the church has been one step behind the world. As the world declines, so does the church. Where the world was yesterday is where the church is today.
I think that's because they've made God and his word into their image and preference.
They missed a piece though. "God is not mocked."

In calm humble service of others, regardless of what they believe, and without motivation for controlling, the world can learn from those who practice faith in action

Yeah, maybe. If they don't claim to be God's prophet.

Maybe they can teach me how to buy a good bicycle, but not what to believe about God.

Creflo Dollar wishes he could shoot and kill non-tithers. You can't make this stuff up.

I am tempted to say I am sorry of the people you hear on the tape but they are just as bad as Creflo as they are just there to have their ears tickled and try to put God in their debt. Those people are not victims they are willing participants.

Now Bethel's "chief prophet" is teaching that it's okay to chase omens.
Sounds like the false prophets back in the day when they looked for omens while peeping and muttering and seeking familiar spirits.

And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? To the Law and to the Testimony: if they speak not according to this Word, it is because there is no light in them. (Isa 8:19,20)

Yes, megachurches grow larger and larger; Christian conferences abound and grow more prolific every year; ecumenicism is on the rise; contemporary Christian music is bigger ($$$) and more popular now than ever. But is it for the good?

People like Rick Warren praise the pope (from "papa," Holy Father
), saying of Catholics in a tweet: "If you love Jesus, we may serve on different teams, but we're in the same league of receiving His grace and forgiveness"; Louie Giglio of Passion Church and his wife meeting and kissing the Pope. This is but the tip of the iceberg.

Church is nothing but big business. No one is accountable for sin. If someone is good for business they're in, regardless of whether they teach heresy or not. Formerly conservative preachers like John MacArthur have apparently swallowed the Kool-Aid.

Have we already gone over the cliff? If so, what should true and faithful believers do? You can't rebuke. People like Rick Warren are above rebuke. You can't rebuke the contemporary Christian music industry or their artists, they don't care, all they want is $$$ and more of it. If you try to warn people they'll tell you you're crazy.

I believe the time has come for worldly christianity (lower case intentional) to be exposed for what it is. Much of what's going on is deliberately designed to cater to the younger generation. A whole generation is growing up thinking this is what Christianity is.

I didn't spend a lot of time on this post so it may not be that eloquent; it's a heartfelt plea that hopefully the Lord will use for some good.
“And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭13:3, 11-12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

a false church appearing as Christ who died and rose , but the words aren’t the same

The audience reaction seems mixed. At first, a lot of people were laughing at what he said. Then when he started talking about getting uzis and killing people things got quiet.

They may thought they were some of those that were to be lined up and shot. Thing is did the people run for the doors or just stay and listen to this "preacher".

Come out from among them and be ye separate, and touch not the unclean thing.

Since those who go off the rails generally refuse to repent, the only option for true and faithful believers is to separate themselves and meet with like-minded believers in homes or any other suitable setting.

The important thing is to base all doctrine and practice strictly on the Bible, and preach the true and full Gospel of Christ -- which is also the Gospel of the Kingdom. Christ will indeed establish His visiblr eternal Kingdom on earth at the right time. In the meantime, the Kingdom of God is within you (as Christ said).
so true

seems simple acts and walking the path without short cuts is not encouraged any more
