Fish or Cut Bait
This drive to become morally and spiritually neutral has left the church weak and easily driven by the emotions, threats, trends and whims of the world. Instead of being transformed and not of this world, we don’t look any different than the rest of this decaying land. The church at Laodicea no longer exists because Jesus vomited them out of his mouth. It is very easy to remain neutral regarding the topic of sexual sin because it makes us uncomfortable but if we don’t take action we too will be as extinct as this first century church.

Our churches have become social gatherings filled with cliques of people who look and sound alike.
