      Gen Z Females Abandoning the Church

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

The cultural issues of the day are fascinating to me.  Part of what Moral Conservative strives to do is take current events and put them into the perspective of the end time scenarios.  What moves segments of the population and why. There is a troubling trend of young Gen Z (born from 1997-2012), leaving the church

 in droves.  In my opinion the biggest problem of this exodus from the church is a lack of moral fortitude to present not only a true Biblical Worldview, but also lackluster and timid Biblical preaching and teaching.  The Church is in  war and that war must be won by those who know their God and are able to fight and defend the principles of their faith.  Our battles are fought in the spiritual realm.  

Unfortunately the rise of the liberal agenda and the promotion of all things gender specific is a main culprit. Let’s take a look at some statistics.

54% of female Gen Z ages 12-27 have left the church for the following reasons:

65% because of unfair treatment of women

47% of LGBTQ mistreatment

30% identify as some form of LGBTQ (more on that later)

61% are feminist 

Over 50% want NO limits on abortion

In simple terms liberals and gender fluidity are important to this group of young women.

Let’s talk a moment about what I call the “Gender Mafia”.  Speak ill of this new religion and one can be quickly canceled or called a narrow minded hateful bigot.  Proud to say I have been identified as that on many occasions.  This new religion that seems to be sweeping the world might just be the old Babylonian goddess of Ishtar.  Part of Ishtar’s popularity was that she was one of the original female deities of the Mesopotamian pantheon.  She was often credited as being a goddess of love, sex, and fertility.  After all, what better role model than this ancient goddess of love and sex for our you liberal feminist to worship.  If you think I am being too harsh, just think back to a few years ago when pro abortion women were screaming at the top of their lungs in front of the Supreme Court for the “right” to kill their unborn child.

The Brokenness of Knowing Christ

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Sometimes God has to break us before He can use us. Brokenness puts total dependence on Jesus, and breaks the arrogant and selfish motives of this wicked world. David was broken in Psalm 51. Saul was broken on the road to Damascus and became Paul the Apostle who wrote most of the New Testament. Bless us, break us, and give us to a hurting world,

The Bride of Christ

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Today I would like to speak about the Bride of Christ as opposed to the Body of Christ.  I will attempt to explain my reasoning why I believe that they are two distinctly different entities of the Church.  The Body of Christ consists of all who have confessed Christ as their savior.  The Bride of Christ are the ekklesia or the sold out bond-servants of Christ.   Let me explain.

I do not believe there are different levels of Christianity.  Some worship Christ for salvation only, and still enjoy  worldly desires.  They may even be oppressed in mind or have certain desire or lust they are trying, but unfortunately not able to completely overcome.  They settle for a good Christian life, but with fleshy struggles.  Their Bible study and prayer is sporadic and their discipleship is non- existent.  The growth track they are on keeps their desire in the milk of the Word, not meat.  They have not exercised their learning beyond the simplistic doctrines of the Church.  They live in the elementary aspects of basic Christianity.  To grow in Christ, find a mentor, get into a good Bible Study, find someone you trust to be a battle buddy to share and pray with.  Most importantly read the Word!  Neglecting the Word is neglecting Jesus. (John 1:1)  Remember Jesus was not a man that became the Word, but the eternal Word who took on flesh and became a man.  (Philippians 2:5-11)  Fully God and fully man.

In Matthew 25 we have a parable of the wise and foolish virgins. The wise virgins are a type of the true Bride of Christ.  They have a full supply of oil (Holy Spirit) and are ever watching for the Messiah to come back.  May I ask, are you full of the Spirit, and longing to be filled every day? Their desire is to follow and please the Lord Jesus.  They are aware of the time we live in, meditating on Christ and praying even if it is just a few minutes several times throughout the day.  Following Paul’s admonition to pray without ceasing. The constant desire of  bond-servants of God is to be pleasing to Christ and walk in submission to the  Holy Spirit.  They aren’t perfect, but they long to be transformed into the very image of Christ, “partakers in the divine nature of God”.  (2 Peter 1:2-3),

The church is to be, sanctified, cleansed and presented to Christ without spot or blemish. (Ephesians 5:26-27)

A glorious church. 

There are two priorities of the Bride, the Word and the Spirit.  Worshiping in Spirit and Truth. (John 4:24)  Live in the Word, and walk in His Spirit!

 The Spirit and the Bride say “Come!” (Revelation 22:17)

 You were born for such a time as this.  Be strong and courageous for God chose us for this particular time.  If He chose us, He will sustain us!

Maranatha – Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus.  Amen!  Rh

Ex-Terrorist Confirms Mass Visions of Jesus in Gaza, Says Thousands of Muslims Will Come to Christ reported by Talia Wise/CBN News

A former Palestinian sniper turned Christian believes revival will break out in Gaza and thousands will come to Christ after the end of the Israel-Hamas war.

Taysir “Tass” Abu Saada, a former aide to the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, recently told CBN News’ Global Lane that God’s Holy Spirit is already changing Palestinian hearts through dreams and visions. 

“Many Muslims are looking for an alternative to Islam,” he said. “My team is, naturally, sharing Christ. So we are looking at a good revival going on already in the Gaza Strip.”

It has been 104 days since Hamas terrorists carried out the savage massacre of hundreds of Israeli civilians on Oct. 7, marking the start of the Israel-Hamas War. 

And many Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip have been caught in the cross-hairs. Evidence has shown how Hamas has prevented evacuations of Palestinian civilians, keeping them in harm’s way and even using them as civilian shields against Israeli attacks that are only intended to target terrorists.

As a result, the Hamas-run government of Gaza claims more than 24,000 people have been killed there since the war began, and thousands more are injured or presumed dead. 

But Saada believes good can come out of the destruction and pain. 

“Despite the destruction that is taking place, I believe God has a purpose to get the Palestinians in Gaza (to) wake up and look at a different alternative to what they believe,” he explained.

Let us pray for revival among the people of Gaza. Rh

Amos 6:1 Woe to those who are at ease in Zion

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Complacency is the enemy of the very progress that is needed in the Church today.

“The quest of Jesus Christ on the earth is greatly crippled by wrong notions of the sovereignty of God. God is sovereign, but in His sovereignty, He has limited Himself,” per Pastor Jack Hayford. You see many Christians believe, whether consciously or unconsciously, that God is in control of everything and will do what He wants, regardless of our involvement.  God works on earth through people. He needs our cooperation.

The Church of today loves it’s comforts. We like the songs of praise for past victories and even future ones.  Nothing wrong with that, but we need to understand that we as the body of Christ need to continue the good fight of faith. We live in the most decadent, immoral, narcissistic and compromising period in church history. The world has heard more sermons and seen more church services than ever before. Yet Apostacy is rampart in the world. The purpose of the Church is “to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places Ephesians 3:10″. We must stand tall and fight as if our very lives and our families lives depend upon the outcome of our activities. It does! Our nation is on the brink of disaster and most of the church still sings songs of victory without any battle scars. We need warriors for Christ. We must earnestly contend for the true faith. We must learn spiritual warfare and stand for what is right, not just what is almost right. 

We are running out of time. What Jesus has called you to do, do it quickly!

A final word for 2024, Don’t look to the prophets for what is going to happen in 2024, but go to God and make something happen.

I want to die with my hand around the sword (which is the Word of God). Eph. 6:17
