I worry that there are so many people today that are "true believers on dead fig trees," as my pastor calls it. So many churches today don't teach doctrine at all. Some don't even feel the need to teach doctrine. They think it's divisive, or unimportant. If the leadership in those churches could only see how easily so many people can go from one church to another without really understanding what the core beliefs of each church is, all because the church has a great praise & worship band. Or because the church is involved in some great service projects, so they MUST be a GOOD church.
Those who guide this people mislead them,
and those who are guided are led astray.
Isaiah 9:16
Amen and Amen. But there is a lot of dead fruit on live trees, too, people in good churches who want some "religion" in their lives, but who don't want to be bogged down by doctrine, aka truth.
ReplyDeleteI've often said there are 3 kinds of people. Those who embrace their conscience, those who listen to it when it suits them, and those who try to snuff it out.
