Evangelizing the Church in the Age of Delusion

"DEVILS IN THE PULPIT"

"You say, 'I am rich, and have become wealthy,
and have need of nothing,' and you do not know
that you are wretched and miserable and poor
and blind and naked."
-Revelation 3:17

Jesus speaks this to the church, but who in this church could possibly hear? How is it possible to be "blind and naked" and not be aware of it?

 "The church of Laodicea has prepared
the way for the great apostasy.
It has kept Christ out of the Church
and from His people.
It has stood for nothing for so long
that it has little effect on society,
while at the same time it has allowed
anything contrary to Christ’s teachings
to come in.  This Church became lukewarm,
seeking unity with everyone,
showing tolerance for any doctrinal
aberration and interpreting it as love."
-A.W. Tozer, bold mine

"Many will say to Me on that day..." (see Matthew 7:21-23). The Bible says that "many" think they are going to Heaven but are not. These "many," the Bible says, ARE IN THE CHURCH! They do not know...

"The apostasy of professing Christianity
has increased with a momentum
that is stunning to those watching its growth.
It has gone off the Richter scale.
In the absence of the lampstand
( the presence of Christ),
devils have stepped in and
taken over in many churches."
-A.W. Tozer, bold mine

That's not a very nice thing to say...
