The Who Cares Christian

The bottom line is “who cares!!’. This is what we have become, a bunch of self-centered, spoiled brats who barely have a minute to care for another human being with no strings attached. I do not understand the lack of compassion and love that the “so-called” church exhibits. We want to be relevant and identify with “sinners” but there is no real expectation of transformation. We love to speak and think about Jesus, but in reality we have no faith and are just the new gnostics looking for the latest and greatest revelation, technique or teaching. Knowledge puffs up, I’m sick of heaping it up to myself. It has no power to overcome sinful passions. I want change! I am not satisfied with the working of the gospel in my life and I am not willing to buy the mantra that I am just a sinner saved by grace. You cannot be both a sinner and saved, you either were a sinner and have been saved by grace or you are a sinner not yet saved. Yet still another teaching, who cares. We seem to think that there is no obligation to be transformed into the image of Christ while still in this body. We are called to walk as Jesus walked (before His resurrection) and He had the same flesh, the same temptations and the same Holy Spirit as we do. There is far more available to us now than we are willing to believe. We have not even settled for crumbs at the master’s table, no we are feasting in the wrong house and have been put to sleep by the empty foods of western culture. In the last days the love of many will grow cold, many means many and I am leaning toward most. Even the most dedicated Christian seems no different than the world in anything other than word. We have all sorts of ministries and churches who are fervently pursuing converts that will diligently follow their particular flavor of the gospel and yet no one actually expects transformation. I want transformation and I want to live and work alongside believers who hold transformation soberly and with the intent of hearing God and obeying Him. I am simply not satisfied with hearing or preaching messages, praying and getting “revelation’ and then no change in me or anyone else. I don’t care if I preach another “good message” if your life is not transformed by the power of God it was uneffective no matter how many compliments are handed out. If you really needed to hear it then you really need to live it.
