One of Jesus’ last words before his ascension was, “go and make disciples.” Unfortunately, as the public education system, the media and other religions have been successful in making disciples of their worldview, most of the church has been spectators, watching along the sidelines. As these people spend their time playing Monday Morning Quarterback by casting the blame for our societal struggles, the masses are continuing to follow the broad road which leads to destruction, Matthew 7:14.
Over the last 6 months, God has opened my eyes to this crisis of faith, a lack of godly mentors. While no one is perfect, children are growing up without a clear right and an absolute wrong. Instead, the gray areas of life have led most Americans to follow the gospel of Political Correctness. Meanwhile, experts in our culture known as doctors are now claiming every sin is a disease, not a choice or personal responsibility.
An atheist is actually leading the way, showing Christians what they should be doing. Author Wendy Shalit created a movement in the form of a book called Girls Gone Mild. Wendy is trying to teach young girls and women to reclaim their self-Respect and rediscover that it’s not bad to be good. If the church is going to continue to ignore, hide or run away from issues like pornography, sex and other taboo topics, people are going to have to take the good news of Jesus Christ into their spheres of influence. Time is running out on countless souls! Therefore, its time for men to rise up, like the message in Courageous and begin today to mentor the masses.
