Who Goes There?

“Let us rejoice and be glad

    and give him glory!

For the wedding of the Lamb has come,

    and his bride has made herself ready.”

Revelation 19:7

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We try to ‘glamourize’ our choices by calling them by more palatable sounding names.

For example, we call adultery an ‘affair’.

We have even popularized the word ‘faux’; as in ‘faux leather’; ‘faux fur’ or ‘faux painting’.

But a fake by any other name is still a fake.

Jesus even said there were be false prophets in the last days claiming to be Him.

A ‘faux’ Jesus is still a fake Jesus!

Anything of value or worth is going to be counterfeited.

The church is highly valued by Christ.

He calls her His bride.

That being said, it should come as no surprise that there is a ‘faux’ church!

Paul said that the preaching of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing.

So, some have chosen to make the message more palatable but in doing so they have created a church void of power and void of the true presence and message of God.

Please hear this, not as an angry rant but, as a prudent caution: the church that so accommodates man that it nudges out God is not the true bride Jesus so loves.

Who goes there: friend or ‘faux’?
