To this place of tolerance of any and everything intolerable to Christianity. Depravity that dwells within each of us, an allowable permissiveness because we don’t want to offend anyone and discounting the word of God making it of no affect. But, thats Satans ploy of deception." It is because we have buildings filled with people on Sundays that call themselves the church, who elevate the man in the pulpit above the God he is supposed to serve. And pastors who are more interested in the perceived success of ministry by counting people and growing buildings. Who spend more time talking about their vision than God's word. We see alter calls on Sundays where people go to the alter to be saved after having heard a message that never mentioned sin or repentance, all they heard is that God has a blessing around the next corner for them. How can one be saved if he has not heard the Gospel message, because the pastor didn't fit it in between just believe for a breakthrough and we need to build this (fill in the blank) thing for "God's" glory. America is plagued by horrible things like abortion, homosexuality and the like; because these things are never mentioned or denounced from the pulpit anymore, we are too busy building ministries to minister to society with the plain Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. “How did we get here?
