The remnant is small....and the falling away is great. Few are saved.....few enter in....many will say to the Lord in that day....'didn't I do this and that for you.....didn't I evangelize and bring others into the kingdom...and try to bring America back to you....didn't I even do miracles?' I cannot remember the last time that an evangelical....of any theological persuasion....mentioned to me the phrase....'being born again.' It's nothing but an adage today. Everybody is a Christian....unless they are a Muslim or an atheist or a Hindu or something like that....all they have to do is say that they are a Christian....and that is that. No one has to count the cost....because there is no cost. No one has to be separate from the world.
We are today in the church nothing but politics....and social issues. Here is another adage...."Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of hosts." Everything today in the church is power and might! Jesus said concerning these days that we live in....that if it were possible....that even the elect would be led astray....which means that there will have to be a winnowing....because most of the elect....as of now....are being led astray!
Our itchy ears gave us the teachers that we wanted. We traded our inheritance for a mess of pottage. We did not remain vigilant....nor were we even....awake. We followed a false prophet who tells us how great we are...."one glorious nation under God"....with a golden age of peace and prosperity ahead....all of which God's Word proclaims the exact opposite. We are power hungry....uncompassionate....and vengeful. God has taken home just about all of His faithful ministers on the national scene....and we are left with no one to warn us anymore....only words such as Billy Graham left us with...."Trouble ahead; Prepare to meet thy God."
