The Decline of Secularism in the Church.

Up until this point in my life, more specifically my spiritual life, all I have been hearing is that there is too much secularism in the church. Up until now, I blamed the teachers and preachers of watered down Christianity, for which I have played my part. There has been a consensus among traditional evangelicals and traditional Christians, that the world has seeped into our churches causing some of us to feel left out. If you have been a member of a church in the 21st century, you would have noticed that there is a modern feel to most church services. Sometimes I wonder if God actually shows up at our churches because in some cases God is totally left out. I think we need to take a better look at this theory, that Christians are responsible for the watering down of the gospel, I think a better question to ask at this point is why secular humanism is so popular in our western society. I come from a time when there was peace in the world, the majority of my conscious life has been li

The Promises of God.

The Promises of God. What are the promises of God? When we think of the promises of God, I know that sometimes my mind draws a blank. I immediately default and think of all the problems in my life, and all the unmet desires that God has yet to fulfill in me. When I look closer, I can see that my unmet desires are my desires and not necessarily what God has promised me in my life.

We know that Heaven is a place where we won’t have to suffer anymore, but I know that this life can be difficult and right now we are stuck here with real wants and real needs. The first question we must ask ourselves is "Have I trusted Jesus Christ alone for my salvation?" Because without that God is not required to meet any of my needs. Yes, it is true that there is a sort

How to live a Clean Life, according to the Bible.

Many people are turned off to Christianity because they see a general hypocrisy among Christians, but I can only speak of my life, and what the bible says about my sexuality and my conversation. There are many warnings in the bible about how Christians are to conduct themselves in this world, and in many passages the warnings are clear, that Christians are to flee these things, and live a holy life in purity. 1 Corinthians 6:13-20 says; "You say, “Food for the stomach and the stomach for food, and God will destroy them both.” The body, however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14 By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also. 15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! 16 Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one fle
