Today’s So-Called Church

Church membership has become the best place to hide from God.  Religious beliefs and experiences serve as refuges to shield them from the arrows of conviction and the message of real redemption in Christ. Everybody in this super church is “saved” and are insulted if the question of their interest in Christ is raised or ever suggested.  There is no possible way to confront these “know-so Salvationists” with the gospel of God’s glory!  The so-called church of today exists as a social power, a political power and as a powerful body in the community; but it has lost its true nature as the body of Christ.  They have sold their birthright for respectability, social and intellectual acceptance.
