Another great essay! I know of and read about many who identify as “christian” but who obviously want their cake and to be able to eat it as well.
This has been an issue ever since the early church where Paul especially chides many local churches in notoriously immoral and depraved cities like Corinth that they cannot continue to call themselves followers of Christ and simultaneously live like the did before being born again.
In our post-modern world far too many who claim to be “Christians” (especially millennials and Gen-Zers who have been very effectively indoctrinated as to what is “permissible” in a post-modern world) want to keep one foot firmly planted in the perverted mire of our “culture” and a toe in the Bible.
History and the Scriptures demonstrate beyond cavil that one simply cannot dance with the devil and expect to remain unscathed spiritually, morally and physically.
They're cafeteria Christians, picking just what they like from the "menu" while ignoring the rest. And most ministers are going along to get butts in the pews.
For many I fear are merely “playing at” being “christians” and have never surrendered all to Christ to be born again.
This is especially true in societies like ours where it is so “easy” to identify as “christian”—-in stark and tragic contrast to the many Christian martyrs murdered daily by islamists around the world.
It is truly shameful that churches in 3rd world countries where this is happening are now sending missionaries here due to their concern about the apostasy sweeping through our denominations and churches.

Excuse the mixing of metaphors.

Haven’t heard that one—I will steal it!😀
