Churches Removing Christianity

The sacraments, the theological legacy, and our rich heritage of our church heroes are now considered offensive and out of touch with reality. Therefore replacing them with euphemisms in order to keep the masses. The idea of such a notion to replace the “old” church with the “new” is aimed to drawing in those put-off by the conventional-boring and dry ministries.   One can empathise with such sentiments for nobody enjoys a heartless and dead faith (which Christianity is NOT). If we remove the offensiveness of Christianity in order to attract unbelievers we suffer the very loss of our identity, thereby looking like a social group of mates with neither cause, nor purpose that remains to be Christ-centred. Being ashamed of the gospel by preaching another gospel defies the work of Christ. Nothing should be more important than the gospel! We love others to Christ by the gospel and not for the gospel. We share of a Christ crucified Saviour and not a Christ crucified for the boosting of one’s ego. Let’s not “throw out the baby with the bath water.”
