Considering answers to those faith-questions we all ask…
I like to make sure a seeker can easily find the gospel message on my blog, while I still have the freedom to do it, and while the seeker is still free enough to seek. The most important truth to share with anyone at anytime, anywhere, is the gospel of Jesus Christ. Some people spend all their time on trivial things and ignore the most profound, consequential matters in all time and space. Of all those profound things, the gospel message is at the top of the list.
Reading through Paul's letters I'm struck by how little he talks about the Holy Spirit, in comparison to the regularity with which the Spirit is spoken of and to in our present time in some circles, as though the object of our worship should be the Spirit above all else. To those of us who pay attention to the New Testament over "what God is saying to us today" there's a clear picture and a clear message in it for us all.
In his "Olivet Discourse" Jesus spoke of things to come both in the near future of the disciples' lives and in the far future. When they asked him, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” (Matthew 24:3b) his first words were, “See to it that no one misleads you" (verse 4b NASB).
I had planned that this part of my series would discuss deception. Instead, this is an interjection, written because it seems to me that an equally large problem to deception is apathy within the Church, and among professing Christians.
Atheists mock Christians for worshiping a God who can’t be seen. He isn’t peeping out from behind the clouds, he isn’t sitting on the church roof, he’s never been to a good university and he doesn’t stop people stealing from little old ladies.
