Warning: Sugar-Coated ‘Ear Candy’ Gospel is Weakening Saints
by Steve Hill and Jennifer LeClaire
Look around and you’ll see the
undeniable signs of the times. The Supreme Court that opened the door to
murdering more than 55 million babies has failed to defend traditional marriage.
The prince of the power of the air is propagating all manner of immorality over
mass media. And all sorts of heresy is circulating in the body of
Christ.
Despite the darkness of the hour,
we are still believing for a revival—a great awakening. In fact, we believe
we’re living in the greatest hour in church history. The true bride will arise
in prayer to combat the forces of darkness and open the door to the salvation of
many. Yet we must prepare for this outpouring.
What’s more, amid this stark
contrast of light and dark lies a dangerous time for believers, as many are
ill-equipped to face the challenges coming in the days ahead. Despite decades of
teaching on the fivefold ministry, which aims to equip the saints for works of
service and to stand firm despite various winds of doctrine (Eph. 4:11),
the church is falling down on its job.
