When I was growing up the churches I attended all had Sunday School classes for all age groups to learn the lessons of the Bible. In fact when I was in seventh grade by own father was my Sunday School teacher. But when the 1990's came about Sunday School started to disappear. The Church of Jesus Christ got away from the foundation of truth based on the written Word of God and got caught up into what is commonly known as the "seeker-sensitive movement".
During this time many a church got away from teaching the pure Word of the Lord and instead of using it as a hammer and chisel to convict hearts and bring change to those who would embrace it went in the direction of watering down the Word of God by making Jesus everyone's friend.
As a result of this the Church lost its saltiness and it's message became ineffective in helping change the culture it was called to affect per the head of the Church Jesus Christ.
I tend to believe that the gender confusion and other moral issues we are seeing manifesting in this nation is a result of the seeker-sensitive movement that emasculated the Church and left her without the voice of reason, hope, faith and truth that she needs to carry.
Are we without hope because of what unfolded over the years? I don't believe so. For even now we are seeing a reversal occurring. I believe that people are hungry for the Word of the Lord and that God is raising up a remnant who will not compromise the truth it proclaims. If our pulpits will recover this fire reformation and revival will be the result. Will you join me in standing up for the Cross of Christ and proclaiming it's truth no matter what the cost? For the time is now and eternity for many hangs in the balance. For there is Life in God's Word!
