The church needs to wake up
This isn't really a good title for a short blog. But it is what it is, and it's true.
Consider our current, potentially explosive world situation. Nero fiddles while Rome burns. At the very moment when the church should be the MOST clear about the gospel, the MOST committed to the truth of God's Word and the MOST serious about God's holiness and man's sinfulness, and at the moment when our pastors and leaders should be the MOST direct and passionate about proclaiming Jesus Christ to the world ... well, the American church is not even asleep in the light, as Keith Green once sang. It's not well-fed OR dead. It's alive (by all worldly appearances) and blaspheming its Lord at a rate probably unparalleled in church history.

Lord, have mercy on your church.
