We are dealing with true current trends in the world today. Many
churches have become anemic and powerless because they have swallowed
everything that the culture dictates. Political correctness has
dissipated the effectiveness and the passion of many pastors and
evangelists today because they don't want to offend anybody. One thing
that many Christians do not know or realize is that John the Baptist and
later many Christians died or were killed because they did not allow
the culture to dictate to them. Ponder on the reason why "Gay Marriage"
has become an acceptable practice in the United States. Many preachers
kept their mouth shut because they did not want to rock the boat or lose
money and prestige.
Love and Scriptures. First, one has to define love in the biblical sense. Today some think that if you love somebody you allow him/her to do whatever seems good or right even though it might be definitely wrong. That is why the church is full of people who are living in sin without any repentance because the pastor and leaders have concluded that if they rebuke or correct such people, they would be regarded as unloving. This understanding or position is biblically and practically wrong. In fact, when you do not correct a sinning person that is the true definition of unloving. The culture today is on the precipice of destruction because there is nobody who is able to stand up and say enough is enough.
