The Modern “Church”: The Great Anarchy of Today


Anarchy:

Want of government; a state of society, when there is no law or supreme power, or when the laws are not efficient, and individuals do what they please with impunity.




Reading the definition above is somewhat disconcerting, especially since it describes the chaos that has crept into our religious society. It seems there are no longer any governing laws or any semblance of order or decorum within many of the “churches” or “worship centers” that have popped up across our country today. Ideologies, such as, “Believe in yourself”, “follow your own heart” and “whatever feels right” have taken their place. God’s biblical laws and standards have now become passé and have been dismissed as the rule of faith and practice by the new “religionists”. Morality, even in the church, has taken a back seat to pleasure and self gratification. Truth has become relative in this new day and is now interpreted by each individual to justify his or her respective need or belief.

 
These affairs have not just been set in motion. Beelzebub has been planning his strategies and attacking the minds of men since his expulsion from heaven. He knows if he can plant a small seed of doubt into the mind of an individual, he then needs only to water this with a hint of scientific theory, a pinch of human logic and a dash of secular knowledge to grow it into a great delusion. Over the centuries he has used this strategy, and to great success, to move the hearts and minds of humanity from the ways of God to their own “self” righteousness. Man has become so shameless over the last few decades that Satan has been able to step in totally unopposed and openly manifest his strategies under the guise of the modern church. We must never misunderstand that these things have not occurred by coincidence but are part of a master plan conceived by the prince of sin himself. He has concealed most of his deceptions under the pretense of the so called new age “spiritual movement”. It is for this reason we must take careful measures to apply the scripture, “Try the spirits, whether they be of God, for many false prophets are gone out into the world”.

 
With his complete and total comprehension of humanity, he knows the best stage for his battles is within the church itself. If he can cause confusion and destroy fellowship, it will bring division, and division is his best weapon. With unity dissolved, he can now cast doubt, not only on the deity of Christ, but the validity of God’s Word. He knows that once this has been accomplished, the bulwarks of the “church” will begin to crumble.

 

 Many of those who have no true scriptural foundation may simply throw up their hands in defeat and walk away. But there are those others who are caught up in the spirit of delusion and being intoxicated with “self” will find this as a perfect opportunity to begin the construction of “their” church using “their” own methods and belief systems. Since they were never established in the old texts and scriptures in the first place, they will begin to rebuild using their own standards, and it is sure they will not integrate any of what they consider antiquated doctrines into their new way of thinking. So, they start anew, using their own “untempered mortar”. This time they establish “their” church upon “their” own interpretation of the truth, which may have just a smattering of scripture, but only enough to make it seem as if their religious views have been drawn from God’s word. They will wave the Bible high, but instead of taking it at face value, they interpret it to meet their own pernicious ways. We must never underestimate Satan and the fact that he is master when it comes to destruction in any form.  if anyone thinks he can outwit him, this is proof positive that that person is in the grasp of his deceit already. 

 

Let us look closely at the definition of anarchy once more. Then take into consideration the neo- modernistic church system in our world today. We will find that it is hard to separate the two.
