Detoxify the Church? by Holly D. Dye

   Posted by: ROE   in Holly D. Dye

Holly D. Dye is the founding contributor and General Editor of Refocusing Our Eyes.

Kay Arthur was quoted as saying, “If you don’t plan to live the Christian life totally committed to knowing your God and to walking in obedience to Him, then don’t begin; for this is what Christianity is all about. It is a change of citizenship, a change of governments, a change of allegiance. If you have no intention of letting Christ rule your life, then forget Christianity; It’s not for you.”

Is reformation needed again?

Oh, that we would seek the Lord’s counsel and search out His thoughts. To fall upon our faces and humble our barren souls before the One who holds our very lives.

Well-said when someone spoke of the church as being “the sleeping giant”. Must she be constantly awakened out of her morbid slumber? Must she be “detoxed” from her heavily medicated state? Oh, that she would arise and clothe herself with beautiful garments and adorn herself with the image of Christ! Oh, that she would shut out the cries of the world and withdraw herself to that secret place!

Man-made agendas– full of vile emptiness! Sugar-coated gospels, brightly lit and soothing to the flesh! Christians wanting nothing more than to be stroked and scratched behind the ears -  rejecting the truth of the Gospel to obtain the “feeling of fullness”, but no vital nourishment.  Junk food gospel is what it is called! Oh, that we would cry out for the truth. That we would search the scriptures and reject all falsehood!
