CHRISTIANS HAVE MADE LIFE CHEAP

The reader may ask, why do you think all of these are connected. The answer is very simple. Each one violates the Imago Dei, the Image of God in which we are all made. The image includes being made male and female. It means we all have infinite value because we share a subset of substance with God, which is the image of God that resides in us and in no other creature. We are unique and we belong to God.

ARE THERE EVEN TEN RIGHTEOUS AMONG US?

Yet, church services are declining and pastors are turning church into entertainment centers to get people to come. It is about giving the people what they want. Those obligations to fear God and to keep his commandments seem to be long gone. I do not think it is possible for the average church to please God if we have forgotten the basics, our duty to God, to fear him and keep his commandments. If these basics are not obeyed, can it be said that we are a church?
