Synopsis "Dear Church: Wake up!: Issues facing the Church today (in English)"
"Remember what you have been taught and have heard. Hold firmly to it. Turn away from your sins. If you don't wake up, I will come like a thief. You won't know when I will come to you." Revelation 3:3Dear Church - Wake up!! The midnight hour for believers in Jesus Christ is almost here! A lot of the Christian Church today appears asleep and all comfy cosy. But a time is coming when they will need to be the people that God has truly called them to be. Paul when writing to his young friend Timothy described people in the last days as lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God- having a form of godliness but denying its power.The issues we look at inside certainly covers that description by the Apostle Paul. Inside we will look at issues for the modern Christian. Issues which signify that parts of the Church are currently asleep and need to be awoken from their slumber. Are you ready? Are you aware of any of them in the life of the Church, including yourself? For instance, what is your relationship with your Government? What should your attitude and relationship with them be like?The 12 issues we look at together are: Chocolate Church; Government; Guidance; Individualism; Materialism; Radical Church; Self Interest; Standing Alone; Times of Trouble; Universalism; Words; Worship
