Chapter Two: Sunday Morning Delusion

And the Evil at Work in the Church Today

The message of repentance to the lukewarm Christian has never been so needed as it is today. Today, in an age where "your truth" trumps the facts, truth is hard to see. People argue that men can menstruate, gender is a choice, and feelings are more important than rational thought. We must defend ourselves more than ever. We live in an age where fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, homosexuals, and sodomites, are given television shows to be honored among their peers. Entire television series are dedicated to teen pregnancy. Thieves, drunkards, revilers, and extortioners are considered the elite and are celebrated. The world has convinced us that their actions should not be ridiculed or judged but instead honored and regarded for the challenges. Homosexuals kissing during a children’s movie or television series earn applause. The world is in support of values that compete with biblical truths.

In this age of social media and pastors trying to fit in rather than separating themselves from the world, we get watered-down gospel messages void of spiritual truth and fact. The local church has lost its conviction. Church members see sin as part of life and have grown to accept it; sin now, repent later, or not at all. They see Jesus as someone who lived a long time ago. They believe His message has become outdated. The world gets its truth from the mass media, and for some reason, it has allowed its false messaging to trump the Word of God. God cannot look upon sin nor respond to the sinner's prayers for blessing. God does not change; God is not learning. God is all-knowing.

And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

Isaiah 1:15, KJV

We go to church; we worship God with music but rarely in spirit and truth. We pay our tithe and even give our offerings, but for many of us, it is in vain. We have never given our hearts. We walk right out of the church and back to our sin like Sunday never happened. We struggle to make time for weekly prayer, we struggle to read our Bible, and fasting is usually never considered.
