If I were totally worldly, and in search of a good investment (I'm talking financial) I would try to market something spiritual. Because we are living in a very spiritual day and age. There's a hunger out there for spirituality. ESPECIALLY a spirituality that I can invent myself, that leaves little accountability to the One True God.
THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING!! For everyone 1 that is being sincere, I bet there are 99 who are in it just for the money.
Sincere or not, there an awful lot of flapping that has nothing to do with truth. But is sure feels good.
More than any other time, deception is rampant. The most dangerous for our children (and for us) are those things that are called Christian, which have just enough truth to make it palatable. After all, isn't that how Satan hooked Eve to begin with?
We must know His Word!! We must cling to it, and it alone. We must pray, pray, pray for our children. Watch out for those new, large movements -- purpose driven, seeker friendly, emergent church. Christianity has never been popular. Christianity has been hated down through the ages -- because it holds to One Truth. His name is Jesus Christ, His way is narrow. When Christianity begins to look like the world, and people are throwing the F word around, giving the "rock on" (Satanic) hand sign, or disregarding reverance for God (as in the rap video discussed below) then there's a problem. There's a big problem. Yes, holiness is a matter of the heart -- and God looks at the heart. But from that heart come actions and words that reveal the heart. If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck ... you get the picture.
