Is the Church Transforming Lives?

Reflection for Monday, 6/29/26

“Religion today is not transforming people; rather it is being transformed by the people. It is not raising the moral level of society; it is descending to society’s own level, and congratulating itself that it has scored a victory because society is smilingly accepting its surrender.”

It might surprise you to learn that these words were written by AW Tozer in 1955, over 70 years ago! This is called Progressive Christianity, which (in a nutshell) adopts modern cultural values at the expense of biblical authority, including the advancement of LGBTQ+ propaganda.

I am not surprised by this because, after all, hasn’t this always been the way the devil works? In the Garden of Eden, the serpent tempted Eve to sin. How? He said,

“Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”

The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,  but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”

“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. Genesis 3:1-3

This trick is as old as dirt! And it is often the exact way the devil tempts us! He leads us to believe that sin is not really sin, even though the Word of God clearly says it is. For example, the Bible clearly says that homosexual behavior is sin, but many churches ignore this truth to the detriment of those in bondage to it.

“God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.” Romans 1:26-27 Read Romans 1.

The Bible says, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Romans 12:2 NIV

The Bible says, “But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. ² People will be … lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— ⁵ having a form of godliness but denying its power.” 2 Timothy 3:1-5

If we ignore God’s Word and support worldly wisdom, we are denying the power of God to save.

“For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin— because anyone who has died has been set free from sin… ¹¹ In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. ¹² Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. ¹³ Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness”. Romans 6

This is why we must love the truth. God’s Word is truth.

It is not loving to suppress truth and go along with the devil’s lies. It is cowardice.

You won’t find the worldly media telling stories about people who have been set free from homosexuality, but there are many. You just have to look for them. Google it!
