TSC Sermon Video: The Wayward Church Will Soon Be Ashamed

Unre­gen­er­ate man will fol­low this path as his guide and build a world around him which reflects his sep­a­ra­tion of God. In his intel­li­gence he per­ceives that he is highly sophis­ti­cated. In whom else should he trust but him­self? His inven­tions are great, his think­ing is with the great­est detail and his per­cep­tion of the world is with the deep­est under­stand­ing. Blinded is he to the truth that there is a far greater sophis­ti­ca­tion from which he removes him­self with each added trust in him­self. Each inven­tion and achieve­ment is man’s sig­na­ture on his dec­la­ra­tion that he does not need God. Fur­ther and fur­ther from the true rev­e­la­tion of Jesus he strays. Believ­ers need to purge their heart daily from the influ­ences of the world that have been planted in our hearts. Influ­ences will begin as sub­tle seeds and soon take root. Unsaved man’s heart is revealed in the book of Rev­e­la­tion. A believer in under­stand­ing the Rev­e­la­tion of Jesus Christ will be more sen­si­tive to the worldly seeds being planted in their hearts. It is imper­a­tive for the believer to demand that these influ­ences be purged from his heart. God is most pleased with this level of zeal­ous­ness to be like Him. The heart of man is described in Josephus’s state­ment of Nim­rod “Nim­rod per­suaded mankind not to ascribe their hap­pi­ness to God, but to think that his own excel­lency was the source of it. And he soon changed things into tyranny, think­ing there was no other way to wean men from God and fear of Him, than by mak­ing them rely upon his own power.”

Hi John, I am the author of the writ­ing that I posted. You made good sug­ges­tions regard­ing clar­ity in post­ing to blogs. God bless you for your servi­tude to Jesus.
