Christ Has Not Moved or Left The Building.....

​Our Christian intellect, oft referred to as the "Christian mind,” are often undermined by anti-intellectualism resulting in Churches that are often shallow, under-informed, and intellectually dull. Meanwhile, those who stick around are often treated to heavy doses of emotionalism, experientialism, and pragmatism, all without the balanced influence of a vibrant intelligent Christian faith. In this context, while we should be strategically transforming our culture, instead, we are being transformed by anti-Christian influences that just feel "Christiany." Our evangelistic efforts are typically flipped inside out so that instead of redeeming the surrounding culture we are more often conforming to that very culture. The purity of real Christianity becomes not a necessity....when actually it should be the first and foremost necessity. In America, the wiggle room between the two often creates all kinds of scenarios and possibilities. The number of churches and denominations just here in America is the best example of that. For this, however, I am only addressing what has become known as "Christian Nationalism," which is a form of Nationalism built on poor Biblical teaching....or poor Biblical teaching comprehension. (Teaching & being taught is a two way street). Christ has to be the one and only center of our Christian experience if we are to have one at all. For He has said, 'I will never leave you nor forsake you." (Heb 13:5) So, if He is not there with you...He did not move.
