Wisdom and Purity in the Modern Church: Navigating the Serpentine World

The phrase “be wise as serpents and harmless as doves” is derived from the Gospel of Matthew 10:16, where Jesus instructs his disciples on their mission to preach the gospel. This powerful and evocative phrase has become a cornerstone of Christian wisdom, urging believers to be shrewd in discernment and yet gentle in their interactions with others. In today’s world, where the church faces numerous challenges, this advice is more relevant than ever.

The contemporary church is grappling with a myriad of issues, ranging from corruption to the influence of secular ideologies, and the dilution of core Christian doctrines. In this article, we will delve into the modern challenges faced by the church, focusing on the following topics: corruption within the church, the influence of the contemporary Christian music (CCM) industry, the promotion of the LGBTQ agenda by Christian artists, the problematic practices of Bethel Church, Christian tarot cards, Christian yoga, the Passion Bible, extra-biblical doctrines, the gap theory, prosperity gospel, Judeo-Christian influence, and the importance of staying on the straight and narrow path.
