I am having a hard time trying to comprehend what has happened to sound Bible teaching. What has happened to preaching on Christian discipleship and on our daily deportment in the spiritual life? We are making an accommodation. We are offering a take-it-easy, Pollyanna type of approach that does not seem ever to have heard of total commitment to One who is our Lord and Savior.<\/p>\n
I regret that more and more Christian believers are being drawn into a hazy, fuzzy kind of teaching that assures everyone who has ever \u201caccepted Christ\u201d that he or she has nothing more to be concerned about. He is OK and he will always be OK because Christ will be returning before things get too tough. Then all of us will wear our crowns, and God will see that we have cities to rule over!<\/p>\n
If that concept is accurate, why did our Lord take the stern and unpopular position that Christian believers should be engaged in watching and praying?<\/p>\n
