See the Problem and Deal With It


There are some Christians that see and see with concern the problems with the world, but at present there are few Christians who see that our major problem is with the overall condition of the church. We will never make much headway with the problems of the world until there is a faithful remnant church that has Christ formed within and in the unity of the faith is seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.

 

There cannot be a faithful remnant church that releases the needed salt and light until enough Christians see the need and respond accordingly. Until this takes place darkness will continue to spread because of the lack of salt and light coming forth from the church.

 

I have seen some evidence recently that shows that a few Christians are beginning to see that our major problem is the overall condition of the church. It is encouraging that they are beginning to see the need for restoration of the church, but it remains to be seen if they know what to do and more importantly are willing to do it. Pride, stubbornness, spiritual competitiveness, tradition, timidity, relationships, etc. all stand in the way. Humility, obedience to the Spirit and boldness are needed!
