He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of Heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field, but while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.”
Matthew 13:24-25
Has the modern western church and culture become too pragmatic, hedonistic, relativistic, given to emotion rather than thought, and, in short, self-centered?
In reading both of these Ray Comfort books has it become more evident that the modern church has shifted its focus away from evangelizing to existing only to make people feel comfortable and happy…its message being hedonism baptized with Christian rhetoric?
How does prayer, study of the Scriptures, and evangelism help prevent a further slide into moral relativism and spiritual shallowness, both in the church and in the culture?
Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, I never knew you; depart from me you workers of lawlessness.’
Matthew 7:21-23
