Dirty Word "Jesus"

I found it very interesting that, over the Christmas season, so many Christians were enraged that a private business refused to wish them a Merry Christmas; when their preacher’s, more than likely, have not preached Christ in the last year. Christians were quick to rally against the outside world, yet sit quietly in the pews as their ministers do the same thing. We must preach Jesus every chance we get. To avoid offending a culture who has decided to live a Christless existence, the retail industry has marketed Christmas as simply a holiday season. While this should enrage you, you should be more offended at the fact that Jesus is rarely mentioned in the pulpits of our churches. If the church would do its job in the pulpit and in society, the name of Christ would be boldly proclaimed. Preachers have decided to take the “man upstairs” approach with the name of Jesus. By voiding the power in Christ name, we have effectively rendered our witness to a dying culture, useless. Sermons about how to be happy and how to find prosperity have replaced sermons about Christ and his ultimate sacrifice for us.

In a movie called “Time Changer”, the main character had to take a time machine to modern day America to see what would happen if we taught morals and our faith apart from the Name of Christ. What he found is what you will find today, which are churches bragging about programs, golf teams, and trips to see a baseball game. Also, pastors preaching lifeless messages voided of any hope. A Christian culture desensitized by movies that freely blaspheme the name of Christ and call it a good movie because it was “moral film”. What kind of morals do we have when we are not deeply offended by Hollywood’s obvious agenda to destroy Christ and his name. With more and more Christian films being produced, I hope we can send Hollywood a message saying, stop blaspheming our Lord or we will not attend your films.
Churches and Christians are blatantly allowing abominations towards God to happen. They hold fast their addiction to political correctness, and remain silent because they do not want to force their opinions on someone else. Jesus Christ is not an opinion. If you are a true Christian, you have a duty to your God and your fellow man to share Jesus with everyone you meet. To keep silent and not mention Christ, and what he has done for you, is wrong and unchristian like. Paul claimed to preach nothing but Christ and Him crucified. Are we better than Paul? This has been One Man’s Opinion, I hope you share it. Thank you all for the positive e-mails I have been getting about this series. I hope to finish the book soon and will let you all know when it is done. God Bless.
