Modern Christianity

You’re not hearing what I said.

I never claimed to be “church shopping.” I’m not looking for a better brand—I’m sounding the alarm that the entire house is on fire.

You say “my church is not like that.” I hope you’re right. I thank God for every faithful assembly. But personal experience does not erase prophetic reality. The question isn’t whether your church has good preaching, friendly people, or decent doctrine. The question is: Does your church tremble? Does it weep? Does it crucify the flesh, or accommodate it?

You took issue with the lifeboat analogy—but you missed the point. I didn’t say every church is equally corrupt. I said every church is vulnerable, and none are exempt from the call to repent, because judgment begins at the house of God (1 Peter 4:17). Every church must be tested. Every lampstand can be removed (Revelation 2:5). That’s not my opinion—that’s Jesus warning His own Bride.

You say “go out and see more churches.” I’ve seen enough. I’ve seen youth groups that entertain but never teach repentance. I’ve seen pulpits that never mention hell. I’ve seen worship that stirs emotion but leaves hearts unchanged. I’ve seen sin excused in the name of grace, and holiness mocked as legalism.

You say “my church is different.” Good. Then don’t be offended—be burdened. Because if you truly belong to a remnant, you should be on your face for the rest of the Church that’s asleep in compromise.

Let me ask plainly:

Does your church preach repentance like Jesus and John the Baptist did?

Does it discipline sin like 1 Corinthians 5 commands?

Does it fear God more than it fears losing members?

Does it pray like Acts 4 or just plan events?


If it does those things—then join me in sounding the trumpet. Don’t defend the system. Defend the gospel.

I’m not here to tear down the Bride. I’m here to call her out of the fog and back to the altar.

Because Jesus is not coming back for a church with good marketing and clean coffee stations. He’s coming back for one that’s holy, burning, and faithful unto death.

> “Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline. So be zealous and repent.” (Revelation 3:19)



This is that call.

Again: What church do you go to?

I promise there's a reason I am asking this.

Of which church are you a member? Not the specific church perhaps - it's best to not pinpoint your location, not on an open forum - but what kind of church do you attend?

You keep asking what church I go to. Fair enough. Let me answer in the way that matters.

I belong to the church that preaches repentance without apology.
That exalts Christ above culture, tradition, and trends.
That teaches the fear of the Lord as the beginning of wisdom, not as a theological footnote.
That doesn’t bow to men, politics, or denominational pride.
That believes holiness isn’t legalism—it’s love in action.
That believes the gifts still operate but never replace the Word.
That would rather have twelve burning with truth than twelve hundred asleep in ritual.

I belong to the remnant—the blood-bought Bride of Christ who still trembles at His Word (Isaiah 66:2).

But if you’re asking what type of church I attend in practical terms:
I go to a Southern Baptist (SBC) type church.

That’s the "nitty gritty" if you need a category. But SBC or not, denomination doesn’t guarantee discernment. The question isn't what's on the sign outside—it's what’s burning (or not burning) on the altar inside.

> “You have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up.” —Revelation 3:1–2



I’ve seen Spirit-filled churches go cold. I’ve seen “Bible-believing” churches ignore half the Bible. I've seen churches of every flavor either drift into compromise—or rise up in holy fear.

So if your church is awake—praise God. But don’t let that pride block the warning. Because judgment begins at the house of God (1 Peter 4:17), and Christ is returning for a Bride who’s pure, not popular.

> “Let anyone who has ears to hear, listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.” —Revelation 2:7



This isn’t about where I sit on Sunday.
This is about who we are when the trumpet sounds.
And it is sounding now.
