From American Renewal Project, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge,” Hosea 4:6 warns. America’s pulpits require a deep understanding of scriptural operation if secularism is to be thoroughly overthrown in the public square. God’s people are “destroyed” not because He has lost His love for them, but because they have rejected “knowledge of God, His law, His menaces, His providences, and government of the world.”2
When less than 3% of pastors are willing to apply Biblical standards to today's cultural issues it is certainly a sad day for Christianity. But when 97% of CONGREGATIONS accept this lack of reverential commitment from their clergy, it proves that true discipleship is virtually non-existent in today's church.
We are called to a personal relationship with our Savior, Jesus Christ. In Matthew 10, He says, "36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
Please consider the meaning of verse 36, not as temporal foes, but as Jesus meant it: the roadblock between believing Jesus in true discipleship, and believing in Jesus and a faith without the work of picking up your cross and following HIM!
