THE IDOL OF EVANGELICALISM

[Jeshurun] abandoned the God who made him and rejected the Rock his Savior. They made him jealous with their foreign gods and angered him with their detestable idols. They sacrificed to demons, which are not God (Deuteronomy 32:15-17).

As I recently pointed out in Drifting From the Authority Of Scripture, we are witnessing a sad state of affairs in that the Christian Church in the United States has erected a “thing,” an idol they have called evangelicalism.

But the true child of God recognizes it is really not the Christianity of the New Testament. However, as the drift from the authority of Holy Scripture continues, the erecting of altars to Baal and the carving of Asherah poles to be used by the Ecumenical Church of Deceit “common ground” in their own interfaith/interspiritual worship can’t be too far off.

And today there is so much talk about the apostasy which appears as if it has been recently ignited within our Lord’s Church. It has suddenly exploded onto the scene as if by a spiritual match tossed onto the gasoline of Contemplative Spirituality that the Devil has been saturating throughout the dry forest of intellectual evangelical churchianity so easily passing for Christianity these days in alleged postmodern America.

But I offer however, that this apostasy has actually been slowly burning for years and now the Holy Spirit is simply blowing it throughout the Body of Christ. And so it is spreading throughout the American Christian Church as quickly an Oklahoma wildfire in order to burn out the deleterious driftwood now wasting our Father’s precious resources.

Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great. Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. (Joel 3:13-14, KJV)
