If Jesus Christ Returned Today, Would He Be Pleased?

Why Should Christians Care If He Is Pleased or Not?

President of the National Association of Evangelicals - a married preacher, father of five children and founder of one of the largest churches in the USA - sought sexual pleasures from a male prostitute and allegedly used drugs during those encounters over a three year period...while preaching to his congregation and speaking against that which he practiced. Another married preacher, father and founder of a 2,100-member church in the same state was also found to be living in the same hypocrisy. Two of how many?

Everyone has heard about the sexual abuse of children by deviant priests belonging to the Catholic Church - it is a global evil occurrence within the Catholic Church that steals the innocence and futures of children. It is said that evidence suggests that many instances of child abuse by the Catholic clergy were not one-time, isolated incidents but repeated offences committed by some deviant priests who preyed upon numerous victims during multiple parish assignments as they were shielded by a church culture of secrecy.

A plethora of preachers begging and cajoling listeners to become their partners by sending money to them. Their common pitch is: (1) Do you want a blessing? Give to God and He would bless you. (2) Do you want a healing? Give to God and He would heal you. (3) Do you want to be financially independent? Plant a "seed" in their ministry and God would multiply whatever you have.

Is it an ideology that encourages its believers to live as sinfully as they wish and later go to heaven because all is forgiven? Is it a commercial activity masked in a Christian package? Let's be sure of this one thing - the Holy Bible warns that men would make merchandise of the Word of God and that false teachers would arise who would "cleverly teach their destructive heresies about God and even turn against their Master who bought them. Theirs will be a swift and terrible end. Many will follow their evil teaching and shameful immorality. And because of them, Christ and his true way will be slandered." We all have to be very careful in our Christian walk. We must not blindly follow all who say that they are of God. We must continually search the scriptures to examine those to whom we listen. We must study and search the scriptures to ensure that we are indeed true followers of Jesus Christ. ...continued
