Welcome to my new blog! I am a Christian! You hear that quite abit, don't you? Well there's a whole bunch of people all over the world who call themselves christians when what they are practicing is a diluted-christianity that very well may fall short of providing the true route to recieving God's Grace and Salvation. After all, during the sermon on the mount, Jesus said, "the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it, but small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
The credit for the title of the blog goes completely to a listener of the "wretched radio" show. He offered the following analogy to explain why a true christian who is sharing the Gospel and will not listen to a false teaching is not being arrogant;
Imagine we all lived in a remote village that had never ever had any contact whatsoever with the outside world and I left and actually made it out of the jungle, to civilization. While in the outside world I actually tried a nice big slice of chocolate fudge cake...mmm mmm... I head back to the the jungle and somehow manage to make it back to the village. I tell everyone all about this wonderful chocolate cake I experienced and people start believing in chocolate cake. But there are some skeptics in the village who say I really didn't go anywhere, I just hid in the jungle, and this "chocolate cake thing" is a fabrication. They claim to have all kinds of "evidence" that points to their theories being true. I absolutely refuse to let them show me any of their "evidence" or listen to their misguided reasoning. See, I actually had the chocolate cake, put it in my mouth, felt it, tasted it, experienced it and all of its effects...so how could you call me arrogant for not listening that I know for a fact is not true!
One of my greatest hopes in writing this blog is that maybe someone will stumble upon some of the truth I present. Not be decieved by the Wrong Theology of the prosperity preachers, word faith movement, and the diluted theology presented my the emergent movement. Pray for discernment and wisdom for yourselves, check everything against the Word of God, and don't be afraid to tell people the Truth...their lives depend on it!
Hey Brian.....good thinking....thanks for sharing! I will follow this with interest!
ReplyDeleteVery true, bro. I am so proud of you. You are so right about that. There are false profets out there everywhere. for example, I will not use any names but describe a person, a very powerful person in the world who alot of people look up to. She is a celebrity who claims to be a Christian but obviously does not follow the Bible. She believes that there are many different ways to Heaven, when the Bible clearly tells us there is only one way to Heaven and that is through Jesus Christ himself. She believes that as long as you follow your OWN beliefs and what YOU believe is true than you will get to Heaven, but The Bible is a tool given to us by God to follow. This is a map of how we MUST live. We have to follow His guidance if we want to get to heaven and give our lives completely over to Him. We have to make Jesus THE Lord of our lives, as one of our pastors recently pointed out to us. He doesn't just want to be #1 in our lives, He wants to be THE LORD of our lives. He wants us to follow His commands and do as He would have us to do. This woman who claims to know Christ has to step back and re-evaluate her so called Christianity. She is leading so many people down the wrong path. These are the types of people we need to watch out for. May the Lord bless you all, and remember to read the Bible, but don't just read it, live it.
