From the title of this post one might think I'm referring to worldly unbelievers shunning God, or the general godlessness we see in America today, but that's not the case. What I'm referring to is the fact that the body of Christ is in rebellion. We have become exceedingly good at making the Christian experience all about us, when in reality we are told to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. We excel at giving God what we want rather than giving God what He wants.
This should come as no surprise, because the scriptures say this will be the case. 2 Tim 4:3-4 says: "3 For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths." This is the time in which we now find ourselves.
