In the World but not of the World

[Church of Nigeria News] 10 May 2008--I could not help choosing this theme for our current meeting because of my conviction that were Christ Jesus to be physically present on planet earth today, he would have been shocked and utterly disappointed by the extent to which the Church he purchased by the effusion of his blood has compromised its values and has become more and more like the world.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish between the Church and the world. Believers do with impunity what the unbelievers in the world do. Christ’s followers of today have ceased in many ways to

‘ …be examples to the world, in conversation, in charity in spirit, in faith and in purity’ (I Timothy 4:12).
