If you are running ahead of Jesus, you are running further away from Him. You do not have God. You are running out of time.
Loving the world
If we love the world, and call our self “Christian”, then we are “serving two masters” (Matthew 6:24). Do you know what Jesus said about that?
Pretending their word is God’s word
It’s crazy how so many have tried in the past, and are still doing it – “re-interpreting” or discovering some “personal or special” interpretation (2 Peter 1:19-21), attempting to legitimize a new creative way to have it their way. If that is happening in your church – don’t believe it. It is our “job”, our responsibility, as followers of Christ – to use the Bible to ascertain what is of God and what are “the words of a puny human” (we are all “puny humans”). Huge difference. I personally do not want to hear some puny opinions when I go to church. I want to hear God’s “word of truth”.
Is your light actually darkness?
Light and darkness are what is good and what is bad (Luke 11:33-36). It is God’s Word, the Bible, that fills us with light – not any of the multiple, vain, man-made philosophies cooked-up to make us feel wise. Have you shined the light of Jesus around you lately?
