Saved Not Soft
American Christianity (Addressing Lukewarmness) | SavedNotSoftPodcast

It's because they have a touch of godliness. Like they're understanding the God that has ruled and made and rests upon us. But there's like a lack of godliness simultaneously because you're denying the power of Jesus Christ. Instead, you're accepting the power for yourself, which is why church hurt is so adamant and hurtful because all the power and authority that should be given onto God...

Man is trying to take the responsibility of that authority and power onto himself. And so that creates a lot of perversion because all these people are wanting a false power. And it's almost as if they think they say the name of Jesus. There is this humility, but it's a superficial humility because instead of having God get all the glory, it's like you're trying to be on the same pedestal as him.

And so anyone who's been through the church and has gotten hurt and has had religious trauma, whatever it may be, I would just encourage you to look at what the scriptures say and not from your perception of your trauma, but look in search for the compassion of God, not from what these religious Pharisaic people in modern day Christianity are saying, but what the scriptures actually say.

Because God, before he ever throws a judgment upon sin or has wrath against sin, his number one role is to have compassion for you. And I think it's knowing that is like God's compassion for you will never lower because of his wrath for sin, right? And it's empathizing with that and understanding that and knowing that.

But you go to some churches and these religious leaders will say, oh, well, God is never going to love you ever again because of what you did. Or you need to give this much money to me because I have what God wants me to tell you. And you have, like, it's a lot of manipulation. It's playing with your finances. It's playing with your mind.

Sure, in some senses, it could be occult practices. They're not aligned with the word of God. They're perversive. And it's perverse because we even see in scripture how the enemy takes the word of God and perverts it. And that's the same thing of what these religious people are doing just to gain some sense of power, right? And then there's this other side of people who...

believe that God is real and believe in the existence of God, but lack obedience in God. And I think that's one of the more toxic traits that we're seeing in American Christianity is that there's a far outweigh of people who believe they believe in Jesus Christ and they believe they're getting saved, but they don't live a lifestyle that matches up with what Jesus commands.

It doesn't align with his teachings. It doesn't align with where he commands us to be obedient. And it doesn't align with the scriptures and with what Christianity defines itself as a whole. And so faith without works is dead. We know that because James talks about that. Paul talks about that. Faith without works is dead and works is evidence of your faith.

Works isn't just, Hey, if, if I just work my way to the top, I'm going to get saved because works is also by itself, just in vain. If you work without faith, then none of it matters. First Corinthians 13 talks about that. Like if I'm, if I'm prophesying, if I'm doing all the things of God, but if I do not have love, then all of it is meaningless.
