In ministering here in the Philippines (Ordained, but not a missionary. Here working for a Christian NGO) I have found, after arriving here, that the people mix their Christianity with tribal legends, superstitions, Catholicism and what sayeth Rick Warren! Their doctrines are 40 miles wide and 1/8 inch deep.
However they have very little of any real knowledge of God or the things of God. They are seeking the power. Many will go to hear evangelists preach a good word and are shouting AMEN! The next night many of the same are back shouting at what ever New Age speaker might be saying.
It took me almost a year of teaching the Bible to get the group to understand that God was NOT a “Candy Man” who passed out blessings, but was the sovereign God of the Universe.

Most so called Christians don’t have an accurate Biblical understanding who Jesus is or the gospel message. That’s why they can’t share it because they don’t even know. They think Jesus is just a nice man who said good things and healed people, and loved them and has a plan for their lives, but they know very little and understand much less.

Yes, mr1989foster, you are so right! When the flesh is in the crucible, the spirit within seeks her Source and shines brighter and brighter until the new day. Comfy flesh = smoking wicks.

When Christianity looses sight of whom they are to worship and why they are to witness, it is already dead. If Jesus is truly the only means of salvation, why are Christians so putrid in sharing this truth?

Considering the way things seem to be going in the world, great contrition and repentance on the part of the church may well be coming…

Amen! How strange that as soon as we lost our persecution we lost most of our powerful influence.
