The Missing R of the Modern Church

ARE we preaching repentance? Jesus commanded: “And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” (Luke 24:47) Life with Christ begins at the moment of true repentance which is a laying down of one’s life. The best life now theology used by so many beguilers never mentions sin much less the necessity to repent and is feeding the self-life, the self-idolatry and self-worship of many who vainly believe they are Christ’s. After a nice nutritious dinner, dessert is a blessing and yet, not before there’s the meat and potatoes. The same is true with our spiritual diet. Favor, prosperity, coping, and getting God to give you more stuff are not foundational biblical doctrines. Let me ask you if you know the six principal doctrines of Christ? Could you recite them? Do you know where they are listed? This is the perfection or maturity Paul tells us to go on to (Hebrews 6:1-2).

Is the modern church and its foolish, Scripture-despising, Christ-denying programs coddling and perpetuating the gullible in their sins? Where’s the real deliverance? Where is Jesus? Where’s the truly setting free of bound souls by the power of Jesus Christ we see throughout the Gospels and in the book of Acts?

“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.” Acts 3:19

Genuine repentance is when God’s richest spiritual blessings begin to flow into our lives. We must do things His way and never seek to circumvent His process (Psalms 119:105; Jeremiah 1:10; Luke 9:23-24, etc.).

BUZZ WORD ALERT: “God is positioning you!” is the cry of many false prophets who paint an un-biblical picture as they misuse Scripture, taking it out of context – to exploit and give false hope to their prey for their own self-serving purposes (Philippians 3:18-19; 2 Peter 2:1-3). But what is biblical positioning? What is the biblical position on positioning? Did Jesus die on that cross to position you to be rich in this world or the next? (Matthew 6:19-21; Luke 12, 16, etc.) Notice that modern wolves who use this “positioning” buzz word to trick the ungrounded NEVER use this verse below which is paramount to our POSITION with God:

“And hath raised us up together, and made us SIT TOGETHER (our position in Christ!) in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:” Ephesians 2:6

Because Jesus Christ is seated at the right hand of His Father in Heaven, means that we His beloved blood-bought people are in Him and also positionally seated with Him in glory!

“Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,” Ephesians 1:20

Your position IN CHRIST is the position that anchors your soul in heavenly places IN CHRIST!

Beware of the Buzz Words of the Modern Church World … You see, in the modern church world pop psychology is the order of the day, not God’s Word … They have changed the original Gospel and are preaching “another gospel.” (Galatians 1:6-9). Relevance, restoration, renewal, recovery … There’s the emphasis on the weakness and sin of Christians without the slightest mention of the total victory Christ died to purchase for us if we will do things His way – by way of that cross He commanded us to take up. The cross is nowhere to be heard in this false theology which is “another gospel.”

The buzz words “relevance” and “relevant” are used due to their refusal to “Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.” (2 Corinthians 6:17) This is a command and a condition. Did you catch them both?

It seems apparent that the seeker-friendly, emergent church leaders and adherents desire to be like the world – to not come out of it but to conform to it.

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:1-2

Coddle Talk, Coddle Sessions

The false teachings heard in the modern church world are perpetuating people in their sins.

“Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.” Lamentations 2:14

In the modern church world, there’s no mention of deliverance or the power of Jesus Christ for the believer to “Be ye holy; for I am holy.” (1 Peter 1:15-16) This all comes with true repentance (Acts 3:19, etc.).

Why such lame theology? Why the false gospel? Why the deliberate ignoring of Christ’s power we see so often demonstrated in His life in the Gospels and in the early church in Acts? Well, they rarely speak of sin much less repenting from it. Repentance is the essential missing R – the missing cardinal doctrine. Any church, ministry, or leader who does not often speak of sin, repentance and overcoming power through Jesus Christ the LORD, is a false church/ministry/leader.

By the way the modern church wolves speak, you’d think that God has lost all His power and no longer saves and delivers people from the bondage of sin.

In the divine economy, as is made more than certain and clear in God’s Word, the saint of Christ, by the power of the life of Christ, is to dominate sin. We “are MORE than conquerors” through Jesus Christ (Romans 8:37). Sin cannot have dominion over the presently abiding disciple of Jesus – that would be an utter impossibility (Romans 6:14; John 15:1-6, etc.).

Oh yeah, they sit around and confess their sins in detail. They cry on each other’s shoulders and whine and become transparent but there’s no power or preaching of the sin-conquering grace of Jesus Christ. So, no one ever truly gets delivered. Why? – Because they are not continuing in the truth of God – the Word of God.

“As he spake these words, many believed on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, IF ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:30-32

The above promise of Jesus was spoken by Him to those who had already “believed on him.” His freedom is conditional. It’s reserved exclusively for those who “continue” with Him by obeying His Word.

Jesus’ power is sure, steadfast, decisive, and absolute.

—– SEEKER-FRIENDLY, Emergent church wolves are trapped within a lame community of moral cowards who are enterprisingly building their church businesses by half-stepping and tiptoeing as they carefully maneuver around certain biblical truths and purposely ignore others. Moral pansies? You decide. They try to be “relevant” with the young crowd they prey upon. They attempt to come off as cool with their nifty little sayings and pretend to care for their audiences. Yet …. “Having a (mere) form of godliness but denying the power (authority) thereof …. Ever learning yet never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” (2 Tim. 3:7) They question non-negotiable Bible truths, talk about a “journey” that they never truly make progress on, use the words “relevant,” “explore” and other buzz words like this in order to draw in more followers while refusing to just come straight out with the divine truth which always begins with the command to “repent.” (Matt. 3:2; 4:17; Lk. 24:47; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 21:20, etc.). Far too much emphasis is placed on how sinful we are with little mention, much less Bible teaching on the overcoming grace of God given us through Christ to grant complete victory – IF we do things His way (Titus 2:11-12; Rom. 6:14; John 12:24-25; Lk. 9:23-24, etc.). The return of Christ is rarely if ever mentioned. What about the holiness of God and how He commanded “Be ye holy for I am holy”? (1 Peter 1:15-16) Nothing is taught about fearing God which we are commanded to do repeatedly in Scripture. Please share this to help others.

These wolves prey upon the weakened, docile, morally gutless who simply want to use God to coddle them in their sin. Yet, there are many among these deceived masses who would repent if they were directly confronted with their sin and the command to repent. These are things that will never happen in the theater houses they frequent to be entertained on Sunday mornings.

Feedback:

“It must be popular to repeat all those quotes from Osteen and his wife, Joyce Meyer, Paula White, etc. I also see quotes posted of Joseph Prince all day every day. I don’t see sound doctrine and the whole counsel of God’s Word. It’s like most don’t see that it’s the fear of God that is the beginning of wisdom and the word FEAR isn’t in their vocabulary but more positive thinking of what Jesus did but ignoring His clear message (commands) to pick up their cross and follow Him to the death of themselves. This is undoubtedly very hard. There are many struggles. The cost will be great but so is the power of resurrection in the end.” T.S.

“Be Strong in the Grace that is in Christ Jesus” – 2 Timothy Chapter 2 [podcast]

A Good Soldier of Christ Jesus

1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.

6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.

7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:

9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.

10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:

12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:

13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

A Workman Approved by God

14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.

15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.

19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.

21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.

22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

“A Faithful Man shall Abound with Blessings” [podcast]

Do you desire to abound in the blessings of God?

Jesus our LORD taught that as we are faithful with what the LORD has already given us, then, and only then, will He multiply it.

ASK YOURSELF: Are you faithful to abide, to obey Him by obeying His Word? If so, Jesus and the Father are dwelling richly with you and will multiply you according to your proper, wise, faithful stewardship of what is already in your possession – which is from Him. See John 14:21-23.

“A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.” Proverbs 28:20

God is not going to add to or multiply His supply and blessings to anyone who is sitting around, doing the church attendance thing, and not doing His biblically stated will – of loving, tending to, giving to, serving, and blessing others (Matthew 22:37-39). Every true disciple is a doer of the WORD (James 1:22; 1 John 2:3-6, etc.). A true disciple is not known merely by being a church attender, which any old dead fish counterfeit can be. No, the true servant of Christ is known by his supreme love for, and faithful obedience to Christ his King, his “first love” (Revelation 2:4-5).

“For all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.” 1 Chronicles 29:14

Every good gift and blessing is from God (James 1:17). We take from what He’s given us and we share it with others – whether that be supply, or spiritual blessings in Christ, or material blessings.

“But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. ⁷Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. ⁸And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: ⁹(as it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. ¹⁰Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;) ¹¹being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.” 2 Corinthians 9:6-11

“Freely ye have received, freely give.” Matthew 10:8

ARE GOD’S BLESSINGS CONDITIONAL? Yes they are. Here’s but one example of how God’s people forfeited His blessings due to living life on their own terms instead of complying with His.

“Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.” Jeremiah 5:25

Jesus’ Parable of the Talents:
Matthew 25:14-30

14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.

16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.

17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.

18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.

19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.

20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.

21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

22 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.

23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:

25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.

26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:

27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.

29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Prayer: Holy Father, I come to You in the name of my LORD Jesus. Please make my heart to long for more of You, to love and worship You as my supreme God, Supplier, and Provider. Please unite my heart to truly fear Thy holy Name and to be quickened by Your Word and Holy Spirit unto obedience. Please multiply Your grace to my life as You are working in me and Your body both to will and to do of Your good pleasure. In Jesus’ name, amen.

PARABLE OF THE TALENTS [podcast]

The Eternal Consequence of Obedience vs Neglect A parable is an earthy story with a heavenly meaning.
