The Great Falling Away
Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first…”(2Thes 2:3)
I think that the great falling away from the church maybe upon us.
But take heart…”because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, to which He called you by our gospel, for obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore brethren stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle” (2 Thes 2:14,15)
Christians need to rise up and take hold of the truth and to shout the gospel of the kingdom to every creature that draws breath, no more messing around any longer. No more silent witnessing, no more social gospel, no more washing cars or doing gardens to show that we are nice people, it is time to stop with the niceties. It is time to “load our hearts into the shotgun and blast them with both barrels” (Spurgeon) We need to be more forceful in our evangelism not just out there but in our churches also, because the “kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force” (Matt 11:12)
The body needs to wake up and tells the church the whole truth, if they reject, they reject, that’s not our worry, but unless we tell them, how will they know!!
