WHAT HAPPENED?

By Rick Mathes

Being a Christian naturally expects that you will be Christ-like. Mahatma Gandhi once remarked to a priest, “If you would live like a Christian I would be persuaded to be one” He saw through the false veneer of appearance with no substance. The alleged Christians didn’t walk their talk. In fact statistically professing Christians and non-believer can’t be identified because both have the same sins of pornography, adultery, divorces, crime, drunkenness, drug addiction, etc. Whatever happened to the light that was on the hill?

My blood-father gave his life for his country in WWII to preserve the Judeo-Christian values our country was founded on. All I have left is a purple heart and the flag that draped his casket and a country the God has all but left. What ever happened?

Did you know that South Korea is funding missionaries to come to America and tell us about the saving power of Christ’s death on the cross? The problem I see does not originate from carnal Christians it begins in the pulpits that are teeming with demons.

The Gospel According to Jesus is just not being preached but in a few hold-out churches that are watching their Wednesday night prayer nights die and their membership rush for the nearest entertainment center with a cross on the top.

The objectives sermons should contain and don’t are:

• Death to sin
• End of injustice
• Chasing away of error
• Truth of God
• Increase of love
• Return of gentleness
• Peace among all men

So ask yourself as you stand on your holy ground, “How can I relieve the distressed, help the weary, cheer the saddened, and sweeten the love in your home?”

We must be one in Christ and preach from any pulpit that will have us. Whatever happened to “Repent, the Kingdom of God is near?” It must start now because our day of accounting is close.
