You see the church is facing a credibility problem. We re facing a credibility problem because within the context of membership there is very little difference between us and the world. I heard a story of a man who during a worship service had a heart attack and sat unconscious in the pew. The paramedics were called and as they made their way down the aisle the pastor just kept on preaching, droning on and on and on. We disturbed six people before we found the right one.
Some churches are like decaffeinated coffee.
There has got to be a difference in our lives if we claim the joy of knowing Jesus Christ. We are still walking as mere men. We as Christians are living beneath our privileges. Let s see what Paul says about these three groups of people. The first is the natural man.
