The Church In Crises

I have preached a number of messages on the subject of the " Church In Crises."

The word " Crises " refers to a situation that has reached boiling point, And if something is not done to change that situation, There will be a catastrophe.

The modern Church of today finds itself in a crisis situation. One problem here though is most Christians don't see the problem.

Most Christians don't realize that there is a problem, Or a Crisis situation.

Revelation 3:17 Declares, " Because you say, I am rich , and increased with goods, and have need of nothing, and knowest not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked."

This last days Church, Which is the time we are living in right now, Did not realize, Or recognize their true spiritual state.

Like many Christians today who believe that wealth, or material gain is evidence that God is blessing, Or that these things in themselves is a sign of Godliness. They are not.

The Laodicean Church was rich and increased in material gain, Yet they were away from God.

In Lake Land Florida is a man by the name of Todd Bentley, Who says that there is a great move of God taking place there.

Mr Bentley kicks women in the face and says God told him to do it. He kicked a man in the stomach who had colon cancer and told the man he must be obedient to God.

That is not of God. Where in the Bible did Jesus or the Disciples kick people to heal them.?

That brings me to another Important point, " If it is not in the Bible, we don't accept it."

Joyce Meyers teaches that Jesus died spiritually, And that he took on a demonic nature, Actually the very nature of satan, Then said, " You won't find this in the Bible, It comes from a revelation of the Spirit."

If what you are teaching cannot be found in the Bible, Then what you are teaching is a lie.

The Church is indeed in a crisis situation.



There is a move taking place today within the Body of Christ that is intended to draw Christians away from the Bible. They want Christians to get away from the Word of God as found in the Bible.

Amos 8:11 declares, " Behold, The days come, Saith the Lord God, That I will send a famine in the land, Not a famine of bread, Nor a thirst for water, But of hearing the Words of the Lord."

Without going into great detail, this prophecy refers to a scarcity of the Word of God.

This famine is far worse than a famine of bread or of a thirst for water.

Israel at that time knew nothing of the Word of God and they were taken captive.


Thus in America today and many other places around the World, There is a famine of the Word.

In many Churches today, Christians know very little or nothing at all about the word of God.

To them the Bible is relegated to the coffee table and little read if read at all.

For many Christians the only time the Bible is even handled is on sunday morning for Church, then it goes back on the table untill next sunday.

Because of a lack of knowing the Bible, Most Christians fall for anything that comes from so called christian t.v..

They believe anything that comes from their favorite t.v. preacher as the Gospel, and many times it is not Gospel at all.

There is such a lack of knowledge of the Word of God that even when something is preached that they question, they are afraid to say anything about it, All they know is God said, do not judge.

For many Christians today, Things do not have to measure up to the Word of God, The message preached is not measured up against the Bible.

Statements made by t.v. preachers are not held up against the Bible to see if they are in line with the Word of God.

If it feels good, sounds good, or looks good, Or if there is a big crowd, or if it looks prosperous it must be of God. Many times it is not.

Yes the Church is indeed in a Crisis situation.


Jude verse 3 declares, " Beloved, When I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, It was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that you should earnestly contend for the Faith, which was once delivered unto the saints."


Jude was moved upon by the Holy Spirit to exhart the end time Church, To earnestly contend for the Faith. That Faith speaks of the great doctrines of Christanity that was delivered unto the saints, once and for all time.

Jimmy Swaggart says " The saints must defend the Doctrines of Christanity with intense effort."

There are those within the Church that are attempting to move Christians away from the true Word of God, The Bible."

Stand your ground in Jesus Name.

Measue everyone and everything with the Word of God, The Bible.

Measue every teaching and every preached with the Word of God, The Bible.

There is an old song that says, " The B-i-b-l-e-, yes thats the Book for me, I stand alone on the Word of God, the B-i-b-l-e-.. Amen.
