Nicky Gumbel‘s 142nd Day of Bible-in-a-Year image below coincides with the author’s sermon below:
“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish” (Eph5:25ff).
Now consider this honest question from a typical Christian of the currently apostate Church:
“Hello Pastor. There’s something I’ve been struggling with, and that thing has been: Not feeling convicted for my sin. I know that as a believer I should feel bad for indulging in sin. Smoking pot, watching porn, lying — every time I do those things that I should not do, I never feel convicted, nor do I feel like God is punishing me or is angry with my sin. In fact those things make me feel good in the moment. I guess my main thing is I don’t know how to hate sin, especially when I don’t feel any immediate backlash from God for indulging in it. It’s almost like God is giving me a free pass. And I just am wondering why that would be. How do I learn to hate my sin?”
Most pastors of the apostate Church will COP-OUT and say to this genuine and honest Christian that he was never born-again to begin with.
