See me; I am a good Christian, right?

Christ is not a social gospel. To know Christ is to know God. To serve Christ is to become as
Christ. To become as Christ will not give you material blessings and guarantee a life of luxury
and acceptance from society.
If I spend my time doing good deeds and sharing the goodness of Christ yet compromise and
neglect the exposing of sin and separation from the world, I have become as the world because
the world can also express goodness and welfare to others.
For years the Christian in America has accepted to live in the midst of the killing of millions of
babies, and in the midst of ungodly media works that profane the name of God and pervert the
image of Christ, and in the midst of false gospels misleading others who think they know Christ
and yet are falling into hell by the truckload every minute.
The Christian in America must turn away from the idols of this society and come out from our
Sodom and Gomorrah. You think to bring to God your good works and religious practices in the
midst of compromise, God will not and does not accept such actions by anyone, including His
children.
The god of this world is the pied piper playing a sound that is appealing to the flesh and
confusing to the mind. This god is literally drawing the human race toward his stench- ridden,
soul-destroying, wicked God-forsaken fiery pit called Hell.
Hell has not been philosophized out of existence, it has been covered up by the trappings of
social expulsion of offensive words for more pleasant word terminology. This has happened to
the point that Hell is now considered unacceptable in our new age reformed Christian
vocabulary.
It does not matter how Hell is covered up or how we turn a deaf ear to the sound of Hell, it is still
there and it is still going to swallow up all who deny Christ as Lord and Savior. This is the
fallacy of our modern Christianity, we think we can serve Christ and deny the existence of the
wickedness around us.
Thinking we are wise, we have become as fools. Today America and other God fearing Nations
are being destroyed from within. The danger is not from the Taliban or the al-Qaida; it is from
our turning away from the true word of God and becoming as sounding brass and tinkling
cymbals.
Everywhere you go in this world you will find true believers and true followers of Christ. Suffice
it to say they are in some kind of battle against the wiles of the devil who goes about seeking to
devour and destroy. If someone claims to be a Christian and is comfortable in this world without
trials, without struggles against temptations, without hardships, without some daily attack from
the adversary, then there must not be the Christ in their life.
Is it wrong to align ourselves with Paul the Apostle, then why do we choose the likes of a Joel
Osteen instead? Is it wrong to want our homelands in the grace of God instead of being at the
mercy of God?
We can read Paul's epistles and develop formulas to follow but we cannot live like Paul because
it is a contrary lifestyle to our so called contemporary Christianity. It is more pleasant to tell
others Jesus loves you than to tell them they are heading to a hell that is an eternal tormenting
separation from God.
Why are so many professors of Christ doing so many outward acts of social work? Is this the true
gospel, is this the Christ in these actions, or is it the replacement of Christ for the satisfying of
conscience and the usurping of the Savior's work for our own works?
These are legitimate questions and dangerous predicaments the modern Christian faces. Much
like the person who always has a judgmental remark about things yet never has a directive
answer to share, it is easy to find fault. But fault is not what this is about. Recognizing the false
prophets and false teachers, understanding the difference from Christ centered works and Human
centered Social works, and knowing who, what, where, and when it is of God or of the deceiver
is the duty of God's chosen leaders to know and expose, no matter what the cost, amen!
