The modern church needs to take into account many biblical warning signs that are knocking at their doors. Many times, it is easy for the church to overlook these things; however, it is not right.
If the modern church continues to overlook these biblical warning signs, there will be problems for them in the future. Whether we are knowledgeable about these signs or not is irrelevant, what matters is that they are happening before our very eyes.
Sadly, many churches in the modern day have drifted far from Jesus. For fear of being seen as politically incorrect, many churches have chosen to condone sin. Rather than preaching against it and helping those who struggle with various sins, they are accepting sinful behaviors.
As believers, we need to help these individuals, but we should not condone their sin. We too sin and we would not want others to encourage us in our own sinful behaviors.
The modern church needs to remember to follow God rather than follow the world. The church will not be able to be the hands and feet of Jesus unless they are living in accordance with His teachings.
It is easy to go along with the teachings of the world; however, it is extremely hard to follow Jesus. Even though it is hard to follow Jesus and to turn away from the sinful flesh, it is what God calls us to do.
As the modern-day church, we need to dedicate ourselves to following Jesus and serving Him to our fullest abilities.
If we neglect to remember these biblical warning signs, we will fall into the habit of turning away from God. We will also have a hard time of hearing the Holy Spirit because we would have ignored Him for so long.
As believers, we need to get back on the right path and pay attention to these warning signs. By paying attention to these warning signs, we will be able to help those inside the church as well as those outside the church. Here are five reminders the modern church and the body of Christ need to remember.
