Seeker sensitive movement gave way for deconstructionism

This article follows a prev discussion on decinstructionism movement.  I been saying these things to folk for years, even online. Addressing again as Wess Huff spoke recently about it.  Theres two main problems happening: seeker sensitive movement birthed  deconstructionism.   Those who profess Christ are either in a false church, thus they hear nothing true, or they dont go to church [plugging in actively in the community. Esp discipleship classes, new believers classes, and Sunday school]. Thus they dont read nor know the Bible, and dont grow into the knowledge needed to grasp reality of life on earth. They lean on their own understanding and their heart desires them. Solo Christianity mentality always fails and always leads to idolatry.  Many [True] churches that embraced seeker sensitive model... fail to teach these truths, esp to youth cuz all they do is pacify w "fun" stuff in "youth group" activities and hyped concert "worship" for youth [separatin...

Being led towards God & reading the Bible

Q: I'm an young professing atheist. I didn't grow up in a religious family and didnt attend church regularly. Recently, a family member gave me some money, and I decided to buy a Bible. I thought it would be a good starting point. I got a small, cute Bible that fits in my pocket, making it easy to carry around. My sister, (who isn't very religious either), gave me her old Bible (having got a new one). Most of my family is also atheist. I’m not trying to push religion on anyone; I’ve had negative experiences with religious friends who judged me for my beliefs, which is part of why I identify as an atheist. My mom and I are currently staying with family having hit hard times, & she is struggling with depression over it. I try to encourage her, (who is also an atheist). I told her we would find a place again and that her cats are safe at the shelter. I even said, "God will help us," even though I don’t believe in God. It just came out naturally. While sitting out...

Softened skeptic desiring church & God, w believing husband, seeks help answering young child's questions

Q: I have a concern & need help. For YEARS I have been feeling the need of going to a church and get close to God. I have A LOT of doubts in my heart I feel skeptic, because of that I haven’t been in a church in so many years. I was raised in a latino catholic family ( like most of hispanic/latino culture) and i honestly never feel any connection to the religion, and I have very bad memories and experiences not directly with the church, but the people who practiced religion. I see a lot of stuff that doesn’t really match what they’re preaching.  l’m 36 i have 4 kids total 20, 19 and 18 and because my “divorce” of religion they don’t believe in God or religion, not totally because of me, but because they decided to not believe or follow the religion (maybe because they see what i see as well).  But lately the last year or so, my little 7 yo girl 7 has being asking me so many questions about God, who is God, if he take care of her, what do I know about him, and how to pray....

Hindu & Buddhist background, looking into Christianity

Q: I have a predicament; I come from Hindu and Buddhist background. I think Buddhism is the highest religion on earth, but doesn't have a direct connection to God like Christianity. Christianity has a direct connection to supreme God who seems super obnoxious in nature, but also who is tempting to follow because I feel he can help me on earth. I need a good relationship with God because he has thrown me in this hell and also I want to keep benefiting, but because I think he is so obnoxious I hate him. What to do ? A: The way to God and spiritual life is through Jesus. This will explain. Its called the Gospel .  Many do not understand or know who God is so they have many misconceptions sbout him and falsely judge him. This will help clear up who he really is.  Once you understand the basics of Christianity (or "Faith of YHWH") it will make more sense. Both if these will further help. The oldest Faith  Understanding it well To help you on struggles or confusion you may ha...

Struggling with God & Faith questions

Q: I thought I had become a Christian recently and I was obsessed with learning reading as much as possible.  I was going to church, bible study, listening to Christian radio and listening to sermons. I became unwell for a few weeks and had no energy for it all.  Once I was well enough I didn’t pick up my readings and learnings again. I felt my Christianity slipping away.  Why do I only “feel it” when absolutely absorbed in it? Why has it been fleeting, why is my logic kicking back in? I feel like there is something of a concept of God/creator but I can’t belive the Bible.  In my few months of learning I realized each religion refuses to read/learn about other religion and their Bibles.  Each have their own additions, omissions and each has been done by MAN. I don’t trust it.  How do I find my way ? A: You should start at your local Bible ficused church. Why havent you called the church and asked the Pastor to meet to discuss these questions? or gone to Sun...

There's a Void in my life and am examining Christianity

Q: I’m trying to become more religious and think that God is the answer for the void in my life… but my problem is I keep trying to convince myself about God and even heaven and hell. What do I do? I’ve only been listening to sermons online so far and have been researching Christianity. I just feel empty inside. A: When we understand our purpose, value and identity, and also grasp what's wrong with the world, why it's like that and then see why we need Jesus... everything makes sense.  Here's helps.. 1. 4 Ways God reveals Himself  2. What went wrong  3. What's mankind's purpose 4. The Gospel , which God calls us to obey.   5. This world will always be full of suffering, pain, Illnesses and death, but believers have more troubles but also also blessings. Both the latter (and firmer even) have good purposes. However God is always with the believer to help him grow closer to God, trust and rely on Him more, and seek comfort in Him. He is sovereign and works all th...

I want to believe - help my unbelief

I want to believe. I yearn to have the happiness and faith that Christians have. I'm scared though. I'm afraid of a few things. I have questions. Many, and I would love to have answers. I'll start by saying I've begun reading "Is God real?" By Lee Strobel. 1. Self Discipline: Will I have the will power to study the Bible and learn enough to genuinely say I believe in Christ? 2. False Belief: Will I just tell myself that I believe and ignore my actual doubts while I attend church and men's groups? 3. Potential Nonexistence: Say I do commit my life to Christ... If there is no eternal life or creator... How much of my life would've been spent worshiping something/someone that doesn't exist? 4. Remorseless Sinning: I am not too proud to admit that I commit the many sins most young men my age commit. However, I'm afraid that I will continue to commit these sins without a genuine feeling of remorse or a want to stop. 5. Earthly Desires: I'm ...

Help for a Muslim being lured to join a cult

Am a white & muslim. I want to become Jehovah Witness. Can someone help me, I want to give my life to Christ. A: You wont find God or salvation in a cult group. What you need is what biblical  Christianity offers.  What all humans need is to be made right with God, and to know why Jesus is the answer. This is the Gospel of truth that God calls us to obey/embrace, (short video). Why Christianity ? Why JW and Mormons are NOT Christian?  They deny the Essentials of Scripture and teach doctrines of demons.  What are the Essentials of Christianity according to the Bible?  After you go through the above, I hope you turn to Christ and are born again.✝️ ⭐Here are resources for new and growing believers to help guide you in the beginning and help you grow well in the faith.  God bless.

Church let the World In

The culture began to drift or turn against biblical truth with the the emphasis of pragmatism. It goes back to Robert Schuller (80s/90s) and Bill Hybels who pushed a agenda of asking the world what they want it to be. Let's he honest, the world wants it dead; if you let culture, satan and doctrines of demons in you will get false damning doctrines, Scripture twisting and false preachers, and thats what it is today.  The seeker sensitive and now secular sensitive movements wrecked Christian churches. Proof of that is 2022 research shows 63% of pastors no longer hold a biblical worldview, have a low view of Scripture and so do those in the pews who are made twice the sons of Hell that they are. Only 37% have a biblical pastor and only 10% in the church are estimated to be saved. In some studies only 3% read the Bible daily. The culture in USA and in Western countries would be influenced in the country and world again if Christians lived out the faith uncompromisingly to what they cl...
