Unfortunately, many within the church are not able to ably defend the Truth. The leadership in the western church has waned over the years in equipping believers to be bold witnesses for the church, even in the public square. Where culture is being shaped, God's Word needs to be out there front and center. And like you said, it needs to be without man's point of view distorting the message.<br /><br />It's much different when I read about believers in persecuted countries, such as those through the Voice of the Martyrs. Makes me wonder if persecution here in the U.S. will wake us up and push Christians to be bold in their faith and in their witness.<br /><br />It does concern me that the Word of God is being perverted. I know I too could do better in contending for the faith.<br /><br />Have a great weekend MTJ.

The other morning I read a passage of scripture that grieved me as I considered things I've heard and read by some religious leaders. As Christians, we all have a responsibility to represent Christ with honor, integrity and truth; <i>I include myself in this as well.</i><br /><br />As you've indicated, <i>perverting the message of faith apart from works is nothing new</i> but as soldiers we must contend for the faith. I believe that means submitting myself to the truth of God's word, not incorporating some thought that promotes a distorted image of myself and a view of how important I am.<br /><br />My life is meaningless and yet, God chose to save me. Any thoughts I may have of my own self-importance are derailed by the truth that I have done nothing to sway or influence God.<br /><br />Blessings and peace.<br /><br /><a href="http://mythought-filledjourney.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">MTJ</a>MTJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694085588658653915noreply@blogger.com
