What is one of the biggest problems that we have in our churches today?

Paul Carrington explains in this video that one of the biggest problems that we have in our churches and culture today is that many people claim that they are Christians but they never exhibit true fruits of salvation and they have never repented for their sins. They are not true Christians.

As a result, people are thinking that they are doing just fine while they walk in darkness and are enslaved to the devil. Accordingly, they experience no victory over sin and continue to show affection for sin. There is a divide in their lives, where so long as they go to church on Sunday, they can do whatever they please the rest of the week.

1 John 1:6 (NKJV) – “If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.” 

And I often say kind of half joking but in deadly earnest that I spend about 90% of my time when I'm speaking to people unsaving them And what I mean by that is people have such a sense that they're fine with God. You know, I did something when I was eight years old and all is well. And I think that's one of the biggest, if not the biggest problem that we have in our culture at large, in a culture that has had some sort of taste of Christianity is this kind of safety that we have in a repentance that never really happened and in a salvation that is a mirage it's really just not there and as a result of that people are wandering the streets thinking that all is well with them. They're doing just fine, even though they're enslaved to the devil. They're walking in darkness.

They're partaking of things that they should not. And as a result of that, they're not having any victory, no affection at all for the Lord, no affection for Jesus Christ at all. And so they can find themselves just as well at a nightclub. The next morning they can be in church. And so we've had this kind of sacred secular divide Even in our modern culture today where people can say, as long as I do the religious things, I'm fine with God, and then I can enjoy the things that I like, even though it may be displeasing to God, or maybe they don't even know fully are displeasing to God.
