One Great Danger

I believe that today one of the greatest dangers the church faces is not so much from the outside forces of ungodly leaders, anti-Christian forces attacking Christian values, nor a corrupt religious system, not even demonic oppression. Yet I believe the greatest danger to the Christian faith is within. We have forgotten and even denied our rich spiritual heritage of the supernatural miracle-working power of Almighty God, who gave birth to His church.

So many talk of God’s power, but most skip on by these biblical and historical truths because many don’t understand or avoid the real power of God because of their tradition of man’s understanding in much of the church today that doesn’t pursue the power of God.

Many Christian people make excuses for the absence of miracles because if they don’t, they’ll have to answer why we don’t see them show up more in Christians’ lives. And that will bring up the question of doctrine or one’s own constant neglect of their relationship with the Almighty God who brings about miracles or even the deeper discussion of just how the Holy Spirit of the Living God can work in our life.

No, it is not so much the outside forces of the Christian faith that cause it to decay and erode. Rather it is the spirit of the flesh having relied on itself too much. It is the dangerous thinking that mankind entertains concerning their own Biblical reasoning and neglect to place themselves before the Holy God who might just make them change.
