Battlefields Of The Church
Col
2.8
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit , after the
tradition of men , after the rudiments of the world , and not after Christ .
The
Church of our Lord Jesus Christ is lock in an eduring battle that has raged
through the ages. Many in our
contemporary culture have grown weary with the battle aqnd have began to
compromise with our spiritual enemy.
Others have merely stepped back from the front lines, standing quietly
off to the side, as thought they are lomnger certain how the war is going over
all.
Our adversary hopes that we in our humanness will become bored with this
relentless conflict. For if we do
then perhaps we will begin to focus on other, mortal, less important issues.
If we are not careful we will indeed become distracted, and will be
"spoiled by the philosophies" that
surround us.
The late great Adrian Rogers once stated that he believed that there were
three great battlefields for the Church of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I have listed these below, with the addition of one more (the fourth)
that I believe has become more propminent in our contemporary culture.
Over the next few weeks I wish to briefly address each of these
battelfields individually.
Also, attached to this email is an attricle from Fox News, that reveals
just how prevelent and active the battle for the Church and Bible really is.
Consider it well, and pray about this struggle fervently.
All that is necessary for evil to prevail, is for good men to do nothing
(a great quote, from an author whose name I do not remember).
Four Battlefields Of The New Testament Church
1. The inerrancy and infallibility
of the Bible.
2. The Deityship of our Lord Jesus Christ
3. The Lordship of our Lord Jesus Christ
4. Salvation by faith through grace alone.
