Modern Christianity

🛑 THIS ISN’T CHRISTIANITY — IT’S A WARNING FROM A WATCHMAN

I’m not a preacher.
I’m not a prophet.
I’m not building a platform.
I’m a watchman—and I see the sword coming.

This isn’t going to be polished. It’s not “positive.”
It’s a warning. One I can’t hold back anymore.

The Church in America has become something unrecognizable—a hollowed-out shell selling grace like a product and entertaining people on their way to hell.

And we’re supposed to smile and say nothing?

> "Son of man, I have made you a watchman… if you see the sword coming and do not blow the trumpet, I will hold you accountable." —Ezekiel 33:7–9

⚠️ WHAT WE CALL CHURCH ISN’T HOLY — IT’S PROFANE

Here’s what I’m seeing. Maybe you are too:

Pastors falling into sex scandals and still being replatformed

Churches avoiding words like “sin” and “repent” to “make people feel welcome”

Worship leaders fornicating Saturday night and leading Sunday morning

Christian influencers quoting Scripture one day and affirming witchcraft the next

Youth groups watching filth and calling it “relevant outreach”

Parents letting TikTok and YouTube disciple their kids while they scroll in silence

Leaders who protect predators and silence victims—for the sake of “unity”


> “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil.” —Isaiah 5:20
“You tolerate that woman Jezebel…” —Revelation 2:20
“These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.” —Matthew 15:8



This isn’t the bride of Christ—it’s a circus wearing a white dress.
We’ve built megachurches with fog machines and zero fear of God.
We’ve made “authenticity” an idol and tossed holiness in the trash.


---

🩸 NO CROSS. NO CONVICTION. NO CHRIST.

You want to know why demons aren’t trembling in our services anymore?
Why young people are leaving in droves?
Why addiction, depression, divorce, and abuse are suffocating the church?

Because we’ve removed the altar and replaced it with a stage.
We’ve traded blood for branding. Power for polish. Fire for fog.

We preach “self-love” instead of self-denial.
We hand out affirmations where we should be preaching repentance.
We say “Jesus understands” while crucifying Him again with our compromise.

> “If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.” —Luke 9:23
“Friendship with the world is hostility toward God.” —James 4:4
“Without holiness no one will see the Lord.” —Hebrews 12:14



If the Spirit in you never convicts you, He might not be in you.


---

🔥 THIS IS NOT A RANT — IT’S GRIEF

I’ve watched too many men die in secret addiction while the Church handed them silence.
Too many women trapped under spiritual abuse, told to "submit and pray."
Too many children spiritually mutilated by churches that called their trauma “misunderstanding.”
Too many people walk away from Jesus—not because they rejected Him, but because they never actually met Him. They only met church culture.

We weep over lost attendance but stay silent about lost souls.

This is grief. And it’s holy.


---

⚔️ I WON’T BE QUIET ANYMORE

If calling this out offends fake Christianity—good.
If it rattles the comfortable—let it.
If it saves even one soul—then it was worth the fire.

> “Have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?” —Galatians 4:16
“The fear of man lays a snare.” —Proverbs 29:25



This is not about sounding “bold.”
This is about sounding the alarm.
Because judgment isn’t coming to the culture first—it’s coming to the Church.

> “For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God.” —1 Peter 4:17




---

📣 THIS IS A LINE IN THE SAND

✔ The Church needs repentance, not relevance
✔ The cross demands everything, not attendance
✔ Holiness still matters
✔ God will not be mocked
✔ Judgment is at the door—and most pulpits are still playing games

> “Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord.” —2 Corinthians 6:17
“Behold, I am coming soon. My reward is with Me.” —Revelation 22:12

⚠️ READ THIS BEFORE YOU ASSUME ANYTHING ABOUT ME

I’m not posting this from a mountaintop.
I’m posting this from the rubble.

I’ve wrestled with porn. I’ve battled bitterness. I’ve looked in the mirror and seen a man I didn’t recognize.
And I still fall short. I still fight. I still bleed.

But I refuse to die in silence. I refuse to lie to your face so you’ll like me.
This post isn’t written from moral superiority—it’s written from moral warfare.

I’m not warning from a clean pulpit.
I’m warning from the frontlines, with mud on my boots and blood on my sword.

So don’t you dare write this off as self-righteous.
This is what it looks like when a sinner finally stops playing church and starts telling the truth.


---

I’m just a watchman. I see the sword coming. And I won’t stay silent.

If you feel the same—say something.
If it convicts you—repent.
If it comforts you—wake up.
If it enrages you—ask yourself why.

Because Jesus is coming.
And fake Christianity won’t survive His return.

#WatchmanWarning #NoMiddleGround #TheRemnantRises

There is a free pdf booklet called "The Traditional Christian's Guide to the Family in Modern Times" that touches on the subject of the corruptive influences of modernity. Perhaps even more important that out churches are our families to do what we can to resist the evil in the world.

https://christianpioneer.com/ebooks/traditional.pdf

No church is holy enough to dodge this warning. No sanctuary safe enough to escape God’s judgment. Judgment begins at the house of God (1 Peter 4:17). If you think your church is exempt, you’re either blind, deaf, or dead. The sword I sound is not Ezekiel’s history lesson—it is a command from God blazing through the ages:

> “If you see the sword coming and do not blow the trumpet, blood is on your hands.” — Ezekiel 33:7-9



Don’t run from the fight by finding a “different church.” That’s cowardice. The rot is inside. The wolves are within the flock. If you’re not ready to stand and fight in the rubble, sharpen your sword, or step aside for those who will. The church doesn’t need more deserters—it needs soldiers.

Singing in church does not make you righteous. The devil sings hymns with perfect pitch while his heart rots in darkness. Holiness isn’t about noise or crowds. It’s about brokenness, repentance, and crucifying the flesh daily (Luke 9:23). The church traded the altar for a stage, the cross for a brand, and now demons mock in empty pews.

Yes, truth will make you enemies. It will make you lonely. But the remnant hears the trumpet and trembles. They don’t compromise. They don’t apologize. They carry the fire of God’s Word, burning away lies and idols.

This battle rages in every home and every church. Families are under siege, but the church is the spiritual mother. You cannot separate the two without inviting destruction. God demands holiness in both. Anything less is rebellion.

This message is not for comfort or applause. It is a call to arms. Jesus is coming. He will not return to a bride dressed in fog machines and lies. He will come for a holy people—a church that trembles before Him.

If this burns you, don’t harden your heart. Repent.
If it comforts you, wake up from your slumber.
If it enrages you, look in the mirror and ask why.

Because God’s judgment is coming. It is coming to the household of God first. Not culture, not politics—us. And if we don’t wake now, the sword will fall with no mercy.

I’m a watchman with mud on my boots and blood on my sword. I see the sword coming, and I will not be silent.

A church is a group of believers, not a building. The Greek is "ἐκκλησία", used for church is used only when referring to the "called out", which are those in Christ. The building you refer to is a temple. God, the Most High, does not dwell in a temple made by human hands, but he does indeed dwell in a temple.

And you make quite a claim by stating: "No church is holy enough to dodge this warning."

This is false. One that attempts to deny your own salvation as much as others. We are not made holy by our own doing, nobody cleansed themselves, nobody but Christ Jesus lived a perfect life, nobody paid their own transgressions. To say that those in Christ are not holy is a terrible thing to say. Those who believe in the Lord are made holy through His sacrifice, and that alone. They are made perfect because those in Christ are sanctified by the offering of His body on the cross, once and for all. You have zero authority to remove it.

It is finished.

To CalledByChrist,

Brother, I read your words. I hear your heart. But I must speak plainly: what you’ve written is not just theologically imprecise—it is spiritually dangerous. You may have meant well, but the fruit of your response was not conviction or clarity—it was confusion, reduction, and denial of the call to holiness that echoes through every page of Scripture.

I’m not coming with arrogance. I’m coming with a trembling heart, soaked in prayer, soaked in repentance, soaked in fear of the Lord.

But I cannot be silent. Not when the church sleeps in sin. Not when wolves are coddled. Not when holiness is mocked as legalism and “grace” is twisted into a license for passivity.

Let the Word of God be the hammer now—not mine.


---

1. Holiness is not a side note—it is the evidence of true salvation.

You said I deny the holiness of the church. I say the modern church denies the cost of being holy.

> “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” — 1 Peter 1:16
“Without holiness no one will see the Lord.” — Hebrews 12:14
“Everyone who hopes in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.” — 1 John 3:3
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” — Matthew 5:8



We are not just called holy by grace—we are called to walk in holiness by the Spirit. If holiness is absent, something is catastrophically wrong.

> “If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” — 1 John 2:15
“Whoever claims to live in Him must walk as Jesus did.” — 1 John 2:6



We are not saved by works—but Scripture is clear: we are not saved without transformation.


---

2. Judgment starts in the church—not the culture.

You downplayed this. But God doesn’t.

> “For it is time for judgment to begin at the house of God.” — 1 Peter 4:17
“If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him.” — 1 Corinthians 3:17



The sword begins not with Hollywood. Not Washington. Not the LGBTQ+ community. It starts in the pulpits. The pews. The silent saints who sit in compromise and call it “grace.”

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



This isn’t condemnation. It’s a cry for reformation.


---

3. Greek etymology without Spirit-led obedience is noise.

You referenced ekklesia to minimize the call to repentance. But the word means “called out”—set apart—not coddled in comfort.

> “Come out from them and be separate… touch no unclean thing.” — 2 Corinthians 6:17
“Put on the whole armor of God…” — Ephesians 6:11
“Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.” — Ephesians 5:11



Brother, language studies do not replace the call to walk blamelessly. We need fire, not footnotes.


---

4. Authority does not come from applause—it comes from truth.

You said I lack authority. I say authority comes from obedience to God's Word—not from theological degrees or online approval.

> “Preach the word… rebuke, correct, and encourage.” — 2 Timothy 4:2
“Let the one who speaks speak as one who speaks the oracles of God.” — 1 Peter 4:11



If we are faithful, the world will call us divisive. The modern church will call us harsh. But Heaven will call us faithful.


---

5. “It is finished” is not permission to be passive.

Yes, Christ finished the work of atonement—but sanctification is not automatic. You cited the cross but skipped the crucifixion of the flesh.

> “Work out your salvation with fear and trembling.” — Philippians 2:12
“I die daily.” — 1 Corinthians 15:31
“Put to death the deeds of the body.” — Romans 8:13
“Make every effort to add to your faith… godliness, self-control, perseverance…” — 2 Peter 1:5-7



We must carry our crosses—not polish them and place them on our shelves.


---

6. This is a call to awaken—not a debate to win.

I’m not trying to score points. I’m trying to raise the alarm.

> “I know your works: you are neither hot nor cold… I will spit you out.” — Revelation 3:16
“Repent, or I will come and fight against you with the sword of My mouth.” — Revelation 2:16
“Strengthen what remains and is about to die.” — Revelation 3:2



Brother, if you truly belong to Christ, then you know these words aren’t hate—they’re mercy. God disciplines those He loves. This is not the time for soft sermons. It’s time for Elijah, not Eli.


---

Final Word: Not condemnation—invitation.

> “The time has come for judgment…” — 1 Peter 4:17
“Prepare to meet your God.” — Amos 4:12
“Return to Me, and I will return to you.” — Malachi 3:7
“The Lord is near to all who call on Him.” — Psalm 145:18
“Blessed is the one who stays awake…” — Revelation 16:15



I plead with you as a brother: don’t dismiss this as pride or fanaticism. I’m broken too. I’ve failed too. But God’s Word is not failing, and His holiness is not negotiable.

Repent. Awaken. Burn again.

In trembling love and holy urgency,

#WatchmanWarning #SwordOfTruth #HolinessOrNothing #ReturnToTheFire

There is no confusion in my words. I speak the good news, it is finished. The curse has not yet been removed, and yet here you blame the cursed for that? You do not realise the spirit you speak in! There is one who accuses, and it certainly is not the LORD. So, ask yourself who's words do you repeat? The LORD's or the accusers?

You were told if you have an issue with a brother, tell him his fault between you and him alone, in private. I cannot do this with you now as I do not have a paid membership for the site - a requirement for private messages. But you have posted a long list of issues you have with people outside of this forum, why? It doesn't spread positivity and certainly doesn't help anyone involved see the errors in a constructive way. You are to be an imitation of the Lord, not an enemy.

You use much war imagery. Your blood soaked sword requires a victim. I suppose the victim will be one that you believe deserves it. A victim that sins in ways you find despicable, unholy. One beyond grace and mercy, perhaps? Do not wish for such a thing, because if such a sin exists that is not covered by the lambs blood, then His sacrifice would be all for nothing. Nothing can separate His children from His love. Do not mistake this for licentiousness, love and peace causes obedience and trust. There is no danger of licentiousness in those who Jesus truly knows because he keeps them right, as you have said, He rebukes those He loves, and rightfully so. But He does it with love, not hate.

You speak in fearmongering, terrifying images of judgement, punishment, hate, torment, suffering and scoldings. The same lie Adam and Eve unfortunately came to know. My Fathers children were deceived into the curse, His love pulled us out, His love is what casts out destroying the curse once and for all. The curse is fear, the curse is judgement, the curse is despair. Yet, you are here wishing it on those accursed, not of their own doing but from the one who lied from the very beginning. I am making it crystal clear, do not judge unless you wish to be judged, Brother. You were not saved of your own doing, so do not boast. It was a due to His love. Nothing less, nothing more.

Do you think for one second that my Lord would allow even one of His children to fall beyond His grasp?

You speak of judgement and quote 1 Peter 4:17, now go back and read 1 Peter 4:15, specifically the last word, allotriepiskopos.

I'm not sure why you keep mentioning temple without understanding what it means. “If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him.” — 1 Corinthians 3:17. Go back and read 1 Cor 3:16, the temple is NOT a building or place.


Did Jesus stone the adulterous woman? He had every right to under Jewish law. That's what their law told them to do after all. Yet He did not, He prevented all from daring to step forward and casting the first stone. Do you know who was missing at this event? The man, the adulterous man who committed the very same act as the accused woman. Who walked away? Everyone who did the very same sins and more, yet seconds before they were willing to take a life, to make them temporarily feel better. They wanted to kill to attempt to squash the sins they held within themselves. Impossible. We all have our part to play, which part do you play within that story?

Those in Christ are His body, His Body has one mind. Fear and guilt does not lead to repentance, only Love does. Fear and guilt is the problem, not the solution. Love is the solution, Love is God.

No church is holy enough to dodge this warning. No sanctuary safe enough to escape God’s judgment. Judgment begins at the house of God (1 Peter 4:17). If you think your church is exempt, you’re either blind, deaf, or dead. The sword I sound is not Ezekiel’s history lesson—it is a command from God blazing through the ages:

> “If you see the sword coming and do not blow the trumpet, blood is on your hands.” — Ezekiel 33:7-9



Don’t run from the fight by finding a “different church.” That’s cowardice. The rot is inside. The wolves are within the flock. If you’re not ready to stand and fight in the rubble, sharpen your sword, or step aside for those who will. The church doesn’t need more deserters—it needs soldiers.

Singing in church does not make you righteous. The devil sings hymns with perfect pitch while his heart rots in darkness. Holiness isn’t about noise or crowds. It’s about brokenness, repentance, and crucifying the flesh daily (Luke 9:23). The church traded the altar for a stage, the cross for a brand, and now demons mock in empty pews.

Yes, truth will make you enemies. It will make you lonely. But the remnant hears the trumpet and trembles. They don’t compromise. They don’t apologize. They carry the fire of God’s Word, burning away lies and idols.

This battle rages in every home and every church. Families are under siege, but the church is the spiritual mother. You cannot separate the two without inviting destruction. God demands holiness in both. Anything less is rebellion.

This message is not for comfort or applause. It is a call to arms. Jesus is coming. He will not return to a bride dressed in fog machines and lies. He will come for a holy people—a church that trembles before Him.

If this burns you, don’t harden your heart. Repent.
If it comforts you, wake up from your slumber.
If it enrages you, look in the mirror and ask why.

Because God’s judgment is coming. It is coming to the household of God first. Not culture, not politics—us. And if we don’t wake now, the sword will fall with no mercy.

I’m a watchman with mud on my boots and blood on my sword. I see the sword coming, and I will not be silent.

—Shane

This sounds an awful lot like you are saying every Church is rotten.

This can't possibly be what you are really saying. Please tell me that is not what you are saying. But I am very curious to know what you are trying to say if you are not saying every Church is rotten.

The church is broken. That’s the brutal gospel truth, and it’s soaked in Scripture from start to finish.

Judgment begins at the house of God (1 Peter 4:17). This is not a side note or a warning whispered behind closed doors—it’s a trumpet blast in the night. Every church, every assembly of believers, carries the weight of this truth. The Apostle Peter didn’t hedge his words. The sword is not aimed at the world first—it’s aimed at us. At our altars, our pulpits, our pews.

Does that mean every church is wholly rotten? No. But every church is compromised. Every church has flesh and idols to be crucified, every church has wolves inside the flock (Acts 20:29-30). To say otherwise is to cover your ears and harden your heart.

If your church hasn’t repented, if it dances with the world’s values, if holiness is traded for comfort—then yes, that church is in rebellion against God’s holiness. And God’s judgment will not be stayed by fancy lights, loud music, or packed seats.

I am not condemning the believers who hunger and thirst for righteousness. I’m weeping for the church at large—because the Bride is bleeding, prostituted by compromise, deaf to the trumpet.

Wake up. Repent. Fight. This is the call. It is not for the fainthearted. It will bring enemies, isolation, even scorn. But it is the road of truth.

If you think your church is exempt, your ears are blocked by the world’s lies. The fire will come. Will it find you ready, or will you be swept away in the rubble?

This is love. This is mourning. This is a watchman sounding the alarm, refusing to be silent.

You need to get out more and to visit a few other churches. There are some really good ones out there.

Just for a reference point, which church do you go to?

Brother, this isn’t about my zip code—it’s about the state of the Bride.

You say, “There are some really good churches out there.” I don’t doubt that. I praise God for every body of believers walking in truth, trembling at His Word, and refusing to bow to the spirit of the age. But that's not what this warning is about.

This isn’t a Yelp review. It’s not a complaint about preferences. It’s a cry from the wall—because the enemy is inside the camp. Wolves don’t stay outside the gate anymore; they wear collars, stand behind pulpits, and preach messages without the cross.

You asked what church I go to. I go where the Spirit of God breaks hearts, not entertains them. Where repentance isn’t rare, but routine. Where the altar still matters and Jesus is not used to build a brand.

But again, this is bigger than one church.

1 Peter 4:17 doesn’t say, “Judgment begins at that church over there.” It says judgment begins at the house of God. That means yours. That means mine. That means all of us. To dismiss this with “Well, I’ve seen some good churches” is like saying, “I saw one lifeboat float” while the ship is taking on water.

Let me ask you plainly:
Does your church preach sin and hell without apology?
Do they call men to crucify the flesh and die daily (Luke 9:23)?
Do they weep over lost souls—or just program events and pump music?
Do they rebuke compromise, or tolerate it in the name of love?

I’m not condemning the faithful—I’m calling the sleeping to wake up.

God’s judgment is not sentimental. He tore down temples, scattered Israel, and rebuked entire churches in Revelation. Why? Because they thought their lampstands were permanent while they flirted with darkness.

So no—I don’t need to "get out more." I’ve seen enough to know:
The Bride is bleeding. The fire is coming. And the trumpet must sound.

Will you hear it—or keep shopping for a church that makes you feel good?

This isn’t a time for comfort. It’s a time for repentance.

Who is shopping?

You say all churches are like this but my church is not.

Hence my theory that maybe it would help if you got out and saw some more churches. If you think all churches are like that, apparently you haven't seen many of them.

The lifeboat analogy does not hold up when you plainly said every church is compromised. Go back and read what you yourself said, and how it conflicts with your lifeboat analogy.
