Milk Toast Christianity is what I've called this strange phenomenon. It seems as if all the Protestant, Evangelical, Pentecostal, and Catholic Churches are using the same format; As if the Ecumenical goals that were set during the Roman Catholic Church's Vatican II Council, had been achieved: All have followed in the steps of the holy see. None call her the whore of Babylon any longer, or maintain a clear definition of prophecy. The lackadaisical, and the nonchalant has replaced the Protestant convictions of Sola Scriptura, and have opted for the RC doctrines, and traditions. For example they regularly find a new Bible version that seems better than the last one they sanctioned. They are adrift in a sea of confusion without a sail, without a paddle bound for perdition. Oh, that they would come to their senses and return to deliver the Final Warning, to give the trumpet that certain sound?
For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle? . 1 Corinthians 14:8.
Milk Toast Christians love to quote John 3:16:
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
It provides them a warm-fuzzy feeling. All they have to do is just "believe"; Well, if they read the rest of the Lord's words they would discover that the Lord requires obedience also. Let's read verses 17 through 21, and see if it is so:
17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Brethren, Milk Toast Christians are not what the Lord is coming to redeem someday soon. It will be obedient servants similar to their Master, not foolish virgins, or unfaithful stewards. He will spew those out of His mouth, and say: I never knew thee!
22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
Those that insist on having Milk Toast Christianity; I suggest you prayerfully read Matthew 25. Return to the sound doctrines, feed the sheep.
Arsenio.
Maranatha.
