In Spirit and In Truth

More U.S. Christians Mix in 'Eastern,' New Age Beliefs Article by USA Today : This article is a must read. It states some VERY telling facts that reflect time sign of today's time. Last year, many Christian denominations warned of the world's end based upon the economy's impending failure and the election of America's first African-American president. Some went as far as date-setting, predicting the return of Christ in the fall of '08.What those same Christians/denominations who made such proclamations are oblivious to; is they, themselves are the reflection of the time which we now reside.

Now I consider myself fairly articulate, but what a blessing when one can further articulate unto clarity, the principles and truth that the spirit has made known to me! I'm not one to reprint articles of other Christians/Believers. I have not found any worth reprinting. I'm sure you've noticed my Blog Roll is limited and has gotten smaller since I started blogging, which should speak volumes about what I'm about to do here... reprint, with permission of course, in whole, an article that EVERY CHRISTIAN WHO CLAIMS BELIEF IN JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH, THE SON OF THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAAC AND JACOB should read...

The problem with what we may consider normal is that it may not actually be ...

As of late, there has been quite a bit of talk on my blog about church today. Where it is in the history of "time". The need for physical fellowship. Apostasy from sound doctrine. So naturally this article immediately grabbed my attention. Read this article and tell me if we do not need to reevaluate everything that is considered "Christian" in today's society. Please pay special attention to what pastors and reverends are saying as well. My comments are in blue. Underlined texts are the sentiments I am responding to.
