*THE WAY FORWARD*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men."* (John 1:1-4 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Someone asked this question: 'Why are 'christians' sharing same values with the 'world' in many areas today? For instance, we live in an era where many church people don't see pre-marital sex as a big deal, while some even cohabit without any feeling of remorse. We glorify the works of the flesh, flaunting unrighteousness while celebrating those who pride themselves in their sins as being real. The question is why? Because the church has become worldly! Why has the church become worldly? Because of the absence of sound spiritual training! Paul spoke of this ahead of time - a form of godliness yet denying its power, which is the message of the gospel in its sincere form (2 Timothy 3:1-9).
When we opted for pop psychology, human traditions, materialism, intellectualism etc., instead of the true Gospel, what did we expect? When we opted for entertainment and comedy instead of heartfelt praise and worship of God informed by an understanding of God's word, what did we expect? When we began to celebrate material success as the mark of progress in the faith, what were we thinking? When we reduced prayer to gimme gimme gimme, rather than service to the cause of Christ, what were we thinking? When we started holding sharp sharp sms church meetings so people can quickly leave and get busy with social media, movies, work, whatever, what were we expecting? When we edit God's system of transforming lives, we shouldn't expect God's kind of results. While it's true that not everyone will be changed even if the system was right, it is equally true that there will be less decadence in the body!
The problem isn't first with the people; it's with the system. The way forward for the church is going back to the bible. There will be no progress till we go back.
_MEDITATION:_
*"Christianity begins with what Christ has done, and not with what you are to do for Him. Many often think that the key to getting people to love God is to threaten them, or continually ask them to love and submit to Him, but that's putting the cart before the horse! The way to raise a people who love God fervently is by teaching them about God's love for them. 1 John 4:19 says, "We love Him because He first loved us." In other words, it is the LOVE OF GOD that produces LOVE FOR GOD. In the gospel, God loves us into submission to His will. This is the biblical message - the gospel!"*
