What is Christianity and can it be saved?

What is Christianity is a question that Christians should start to ask themselves. What are the true sets of beliefs which embody this religion? It may be a bit of a surprise to believers today but what we call modern day Christianity is far removed from its original Jewish roots. Did the United States and its love of money and materialism transform the religion into cheap con game?  Is American Christianity now a TV show where the slickest preachers make the most money? Is it our obsession with good looking people which causes us to throw our faith at the new tight jeans wearing ministers with prefect hair? 

 

WWJD ?

 

A popular slogan (and button) a few years ago was “What Would Jesus Do (WWJD)? What WWJD really meant was

 

 “What would Jesus do in any particular situation”, this is actually a very thought provoking slogan.

 

I would like to ask our many readers what Jesus would say about modern day Christianity. Would Jesus be please with millionaire ministers who use private jets? Would he be pleased with ministers who only send out “money messages” yet never give a dime back to the poor in their congregations who ask for help? 

 

Despite the fact that modern day ministers like to spread the message that the apostles were not poor the fact of the matter is that they were dirt poor!  

 

Poverty and despair was the common life of a first century believer, after the resurrection the apostles lived with only one hope, that they would see the Messiah again in their lifetime. There were no messages to get rich, just a hope to see the Messiah.

 

The Pimping of the Gospel

 

The modern day church has dropped the ball; the poor, depressed and hurting are not being served. An older man recently commented to me

 

“It is best to find a very small, poor store front church; they are the only true churches left”  

 

 

 

 The poor ministers who open these small store churches serve a small congregation that has almost no money; the ministers are usually dirt poor yet they open the doors to serve the poor every week. The neighborhoods were the poor churches reside are usually dangerous yet the doors are open to the hurting.

 

Television ministers are in the game for big ratings and big money, avoid these men at all cost. Television ministries come with big production money and little bible quotes which equal disaster for the believers.  

 

 

 

Once the make up goes on and the cameras rolls it is no longer about Christianity, it is about Hollywood, run far away from the money gospel in the United States.
