Education In A Post Anti Christian Age

We are now living in a post Anti-Christian era and only God knows what will come upon this world within the next 2-5 years.

It is the year 2015 and we now are operating within a time of great travail for the church, the Apostolic Church in particular. Our stance on the Word of God has seldom been accepted by mainstream Christianity and is now in peril more than ever before. In fact all of christiandom is in great peril as it relates to the secular advancement of philosophy, scientific breakthroughs and the politicals systems that are being set into place.

There has always been a secular perspective concerning the ontological reality that has opposed the Christian Worldview; however in this day and time it has been elevated to a much higher level to a greater degree and intensity than ever before. There is a move to totally erradicate any seamblance of God, Theology, the Church or anything that pertains to the Word of God. The subtle insertions of nullifying theological processes that were meant to erode faith in the scriptures as the Word of God began decades ago and now have become very blatant. The elevation of political agendas and political philosophies over the biblical doctrine is at an all time high. Apathy in the pulpits of many churches have created a void in the christian pastorate. Thousands leave the pulpit every year frustrated to the point that they no longer affilliate themselves with any church. Satan has truly began to work to wear out the saints of the most high (Daniel 7:25).

Not only has the power of darkness begin to dismantle the church from within, they have began to use the very ones who declare their Christian Faith. The Church of God is facing multiple fronts of battle on every side from without and our apologetic fronts are weakening because of the continued erosion of our unity and dedication to the Kingdom of Christ. Our "polemic" battles have become much more intense in every arena. It is nothing to see another organization appear almost overnight with a doctrinal understanding all of its own. The greatest threat is our own ignorance and lack of vigilence in protecting the doctrine of Christ. Now more than ever before when the church needs believers to step up and defend the faith are we experiencing a decline in biblical literacy among the saints. In every denominational group most of our constituents have no understanding of their doctrinal beliefs.

In our pursuits to be free and modernistic we have adopted many beliefs, concepts and philosophies that were once unique to the secular world. We have weakened our ranks by preaching a social gospel that is devoid of Christ or any expectancy of change or responsibility to God. The results is a church that is individualized, free, modernistic and devoid of righteousness, purity and power. We have moved the landmarks that once revealed our borders and those estranged markers have left us with a confusion concerning what is rightfully ours and what is our true heritage. The church and all of its educational systems must now get back to embracing the word of God from a holistic and orthodox point of view that is taken from the scriptures themselves and not from an external orthodoxy that was produced by men and their councils. Sola Scriptura in actuality means from the scripture alone we have devised our faith, our belief systems and our doctrine. Although this is espoused by many denominations it is not truly implemented or done as it relates to doctrinal treatises and belief systems.

The society in which we now live is definitely a post modernistic society that is slowly becoming more anti-God and anti-Christian in its philosophies and views. Now more than ever before we must arm ourselves with the truth and the power that is resident within the Gospel Message. We must build the Timothys and Kingdom Wariors of this age to stand in the face of immanent warfare.
