Repentance

What do we need most today in the Christian Church in America?

More so-called "converts" to walk the aisle in altar calls?
Larger million-dollar buildings to seat all the so-called "converts"?
More multi-million-dollar book sales by popular pastors?
More teaching that makes everyone feel good about themselves?

No, no, no, no!

There are so many things that could be listed above, which some people may give as answers to the question above. However, the answer would all be 'NO', in my view. Truth be told, I think what the Christian Church in America (all denominations and non-denominations included) needs most today is repentance!

That's a horrible word these days, isn't it? It means turning from our ways to God's way. It requires obedience to God's Word, the Bible.

In general, Christianity in America has slipped to a low, low, low point with regards to doctrine, obedience to God's Word, turning from our ways to His way, etc. The Church has mingled with the world and gotten into the flesh, to say the least.

So many people get caught up in buying the latest popular book by some great oratory teacher, without being 'Bereans' and checking to see if the author teaches the truth! Just because someone is popular and accepted by many, or even millions, of people, does not mean that they teach the truth!

Hey, take a good look! There's a lot of money being made from those books! People are buying and buying and buying; but are the Bibles being read in the homes? If they were, I doubt that a lot of these other books would sell very well.

The Flock is being fleeced! Money is being sucked out of the pockets of millions as if by a giant vacuum cleaner! All in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! Look at the Christianity on TV, such as TBN, etc. Millions of dollars flow into that business. When is enough enough?

The sad part is, unbeleivers don't know what true Christian faith is, because they never see it! They see the false teachers on TV, and so on, and that's exactly what they think Christianity is all about.

Quite a few people that I have known have told me that Christianity is just a money-making machine! They were turned off from Christianity and God has been blasphemed a million-fold, because of the sin in the church. How will they ever know the Truth?

Where are the Churches that have not given themsleves over to the 'numbers game', bringing thousands down the aisle and calling them saved Christians, then building mega-churches to seat them?

Where are the true godly churches to stand and say to the world that this is not Christianity according to the Bible!?

This nation used to be blessed by God, but that blessing is gone. I believe we as a church and a nation are going to be judged by God.

We will no longer be the most powerful nation in the world, and that 's not too far away. We've allowed the Bible to be taken out of schools and public places because some people have a false notion of what 'seperation of church and state' means. Because of this, and because no-one is standing for the Truth today, we have a moral problem in our country the likes of which has never been seen before! What shall we do Brethren?!
