I Never Heard That
What you DO NOT hear from the faith/ prosperity teachers will be detrimental to your spiritual health. That’s right, it’s not what you hear that may be right but what you don’t hear.
* What you will not hear is the gospel presented clearly or fully
*What you will not hear is the denial of the flesh and picking up ones cross
*What you will not see practiced is discipling people to grow mature in the Faith
* They do not teach that following Jesus will include loss or suffering
* What you will not hear is teaching on living a life of contentment
* What you will not hear is correcting brethren who are teaching false doctrine
* What you do not hear is encouraging the use of discernment and judge what is false
* What you will not hear is a rebuke for false prophets and teachers
* What you will not hear is naming names of those who are the false teachers
* You will not hear teaching on the deity of Christ nor the Tri-unity
* What you will not hear is teaching on separation instead of unity
* What you will not hear is teaching how to witness to people of other faiths (the cults and other religions)
This is why the church is not seeing an influence for Christ the way we should in the world. We have greater attendance, larger buildings, more ministries, but the teachings today for the most part can be identified as skim milk. Of course addressing these matters is often offensive to those drinking milk. Until we are willing to deal what is taking place on the inside and change it we will not have the strength we desire to see on the outside. Thus we must change ourselves before we can effectively reach those who do not know Jesus Christ.
