Could Jesus ever decide that the church in the US is so corrupt that he no longer claims it? You tell me.
I will forsake my house,
abandon my inheritance;
I will give the one I love
into the hands of her enemies.
My inheritance has become to me
like a lion in the forest.
She roars at me;
therefore I hate her. (Je 12:7-8)
Ah, but that was in the Old Testament. This is now, right?
I don't think so.
Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place. (Re 2:5)
If it happened in Ephesus, and even to Philadelphia (Re 3:7-13), why can't it happen here? Please put your answers in the comment boxes below.
Of course it could happen here in the USA! Some think it already has...
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, church history is not lacking for examples of times and places where the church failed to hold onto the gospel, or failed to remain as salt and light to the surrounding world, and died out or faded away as a consequence.
