Time to get off the couch and start spreading the Truth

There are many so called Christians out there in America and all over the world today, but how many of us (yes I am including me in this US) can say we truly put our faith first. In saying that what I mean is that we as Christians have gotten so caught up in trying to be politically correct that we have thrown being biblically correct out the window. I mean can you tell me in any one verse where Jesus told anyone living a sinful lifestyle was ok. I sure can not think of a single time when the Lord didn’t say exactly what people needed to hear even if it was hard for them to hear it. Heck he went into the Temple and kicked over money changing tables and told the people in the Temple they had made his fathers house a den of vipers. When are we as a Christian community going to clean the vipers out of our midst? What I am saying is we have churches out there teaching that it is ok to be gay, that it is ok to live in you sins that Jesus died for us all. Don’t mistake what I am saying there he did die for the sins of the world and all who believe in him will be saved, but we have churches teaching that everyone regardless of what they believe will go to heaven. The last time I read my bible John 3:16 still said “For God so loved the world that he gave is only begotten son that who so ever should believe in him would not perish but would have eternal life.” So you have to believe to get eternal life. Belief takes action; so when are we going to get off of our couches and start sharing the gospel. Jesus gave his disciples a commission to go into the world not to become one with it. People try and explain away there lack of action by saying that Jesus hung out with out casts and sinners , well that is right but he never hesitated to correct the error of some ones ways. We also have those who claim to be Christians that go the total opposite direction in that they commit awful crimes in the name of God. These people are no better than those who teach loose and lascivious living as being compatible with the bible. We as Christians need to be better at explaining that while what we share with them of the Gospel may not be to their liking it is no less true and if we hated them we wouldn’t be wasting our breath sharing it with tem. Truth no matter how unpleasant is no less still truth. That’s all for now next time I will try to put more bible quotes in this. If you disagree with me please use biblical reference; and realize I am not a trained theologian.
