An Apostolic Christian have a Godly lifestyle while the Apostate Christian lifestyle is worldly in nature. The Apostolic Christian is Holy Spirit centered, the flesh being put in check while the Apostate Christian is an expression of worldliness, while the Holy Spirit does not have expression in him.
We are now experiencing change of values in these last days, from Holy Spirit inspired life to liberalization flesh controlled character. Christians are not willing to hear truthful teaching. We are not able to sit for an hour in the church without looking at the watch. While in the church service you see some whatsapping, Facebooking, Instagramming our e-friends or imaginary friends. When you asked what was the message of the day, they have a blank mind.
We are doing all this in the gospel of modernisation. We have forgotten that, Satan is still the old dragon, he has never change his nature. And we have also forgotten that our creator, is still the ancient of days, He is the begin and end, the one that changeth not. Dan 7:9: "I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire."
Jesus said, if I come would I still meet faith? We are already removing the ancient landmarks that the heroes of faith have labored plant with their blood. Prov 22:28: "Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set." The Church is no longer teaching doctrine of sacrifice, suffering and losing. Our Bible study life is non existence. Our prayer life is weak. People don't go to church again but now prefer watching the television or live programme from the phone.
Jer 18:15: "Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up;"
Finally, Our Lord Jesus Christ predicted concerning the coming of Apostate Christian and church, when He spoke against the Laodicean Church. Listen to His charges against her and his appeal for a change of attitude.
Rev 3:14-22: "And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches."
