There is an definite information overload today, yet I am very thankful for some of the quality resources that exist. My pastor, Rev. Royall, has been encouraging his congregation to check out "The Whitehorse Inn" (http://whitehorseinn.org/index.htm). I did....and have been very impressed, encouraged, and challenged by what I'm reading and hearing so far.
One program I listened to this morning was entitled "Selling Jesus." Here are some of the main highlights that are definite concerns regarding our "Christian" culture / churches today:
~ People are trying to "improve" on the dead Adam rather than allowing Christ to create a new man; our greatest problem is no longer seen as our sin nature.
~ Individuals are turning away from the church and are becoming "self-feeders" rather than sitting under the Word, the sacraments, and the church leadership.
~ Church is being "marketed" and people are claiming to do this in the name of Christ, which is totally contrary to how Christ lived and taught.
I recommend listening to Selling Jesus, May 18, 2008. It's a free download....and you can easily play it as you clean or drive or walk or something.
May we as Churches and Christians preach and share the content of the Gospel!!!
