The last 10 years have sure been gut wrenching watching denom after denom fall. It can't come as a surprise that the PCA has been added to the heap since they shocked everyone a few years ago by hosting a Revoice conference. The seeds of their demise had already been sown.
This is a great podcast going into detail about the recent PCA overtures:
What is at the bottom of the depravity of our own country and of the denoms? A blind man could see it a mile away. The church has neglected to preach God's Law. As a result, even the churches can deliberate about a sodomite in the pulpit! We're in bad, bad shape. Here is a great message outlining the issue:
There is no path forward that doesn't start with God's Law. I'm not talking about reading a commandment each week - we're wayyyyyyy beyond that. I'm talking about preaching through the book of Deuteronomy and memorizing Psalm 119. 'Christians' are grossly ignorant of God's ethic and the church rolls are (obviously!) filled with 'members' who heard the glorious good news of the gospel without the context of their desperate situation regarding God's Law and as a result, the gospel came across like a Hallmark greeting card.
The Lord is in the process of sifting the rotten denom. Why?
Matt 5:-17-19
17 “Do not presume that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill. 18 For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke of a letter shall pass from the Law, until all is accomplished! 19 Therefore, whoever nullifies one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
If neglecting one of the least commandments makes one least in the kingdom of heaven, what does the Lord think about denoms that neglect all of it!
