The Current State Of Christianity: Part 15

And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without 
understanding? Do not ye yet understand, 
that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth 
goeth into the belly, and is cast out into 
the draught? But those things which proceed 
out of the mouth come from the heart; 
and they defile the man. For out of the heart 
proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries,
 fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 
there are the things which defile a man: but to eat 
with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
Matthew 15:16-20 

     The blogs as to the current state of Christianity have all been designed to give his understanding as to the current state of Christianity and of this world and to see the problem of what it is and then to see also the solution.  There is a need for an infusion, a serious infusion, Authentic Christian Faith.  When the United States was founded it was founded by men and women who are Christians for the most part in only a few were not Christian for Christians were fleeing from a form of government that would suppress, Socialistic, harsh against anyone who do not believe as the government told them that they should be.  Christianity pounded the laws of this nation, those immoral laws, and based on those immoral laws as secular laws for different affairs of people to ensure peace and security.  The beginning universities were founded upon Christianity, although today they are far removed from Christianity.  Those early Christians knew that they needed a change in that change needed to return in to Scripture.  If they were to survive this was absolutely necessary.  There were people from all walks of life and even a different denominational spots in regards to Christian faith, yet they worked together to form a most perfect union a nation greater than any nation that before hand had been formed.  Today there are many people who attend churches of different denominations that have different creeds and doctrines yet hold fast to the basic truth of the Bible and yet they know, even if they take a moment of time, they know that there needs to be a revival, a return to the original foundation for this nation.  Authentic Christianity one that would have a vital faith can only be reintroduced by the degree of our churches and how they hold fast to the commandments, precepts, that which was preached by Jesus Christ.  To the degree that this occurs there will be a reformation and Christianity again will return to authentic Christian faith and be vital.
     yes it is true, we live in a time in which her is a state of cultural decline, even a dry, and animated religion, or a religion that has become so animated that it is hostile to what it means to be an Authentic Christian.  Yes they go through religious motions those emotions that the common man would easily accept and join in with, those euphoric emotional times but only an actuality are tolerating a charade.  Philosophy has its place but it also has the ability to mislead if not based upon Scripture.  What is needed today is a faith that is real and works in a person's life.  One of the problems that occurs in some churches is complicated theology and, in person is seeking for that type of teaching is your revel in to those who are simply seeking the truth of what it means to be An Authentic Christian.  Theology is so often irrelevant and often is a theology full of man-made doctrines.  The average person, as a fall in person who has its own soul, needs to constantly be reminded of the boundaries of what it means to live and Authentic Christian life.  What is courage and has led to the current state of Christianity is that people are held in bondage to that which is more the spirit of the current culture, even to have a materialistic spirit.  Yet, in everywhere there is vital faith it invades and we can see people in societies that have been transformed from Barbara to send to decency, industry and whatever else makes men and women productive members of society.
    by God's grace that can be a new wave of spirituality, a Authentic Christianity and by this new ground, a ground that has been prodding by evil intentions and practices, leading people back to the morality and life talk to us by God.  Though we cannot predict public morals or political intentions but if we as Authentic Christians take hold of our responsibility the nation would benefit and not only the nation so this would also go to our prodigy.  This encroachment of diseases of sand and decay would cease to exist or in the very least be slowed down to a snail crawl and then the blessings of God would once again be poured out and release upon our nation.  It is not up to anyone but each one of us.  Question: do you become intentionally involved and hold fast to the responsibility of what it means to be an Authentic Christian?

But if ye turn unto Me, and keep My
    commandments, and do them;
though there were of you cast out 
    unto the uttermost part of the
heaven, yet will I gather them from
    thence, and will bring them unto
the4 place that I have chosen to set
    My name there.
                   Nehemiah 1:9


   do not just say that it needs to be done
