This is an urgent message about why the modern church will be persecuted in the near future. The answer is not what you think:
In these increasingly uncertain times, we are seeing a whole new level of worldliness in the Church. We seem to have adopted a “seekermergent” model that focuses on being relevant to those who don’t know Christ, by looking exactly like the culture. But those who are lost already have the culture, so why would they need the Church? Instead of telling them about our need for a Savior and preaching repentance for our sins and the forgiveness Jesus offered once and for all in His sacrifice, we talk of tolerance, acceptance and serving the world without evangelizing.
