March 2, 2008 - The church that loses its calling begins to drift away from a Christ ceneterd focus to a man focus. This man focus will lead us into a false sense of identity and there will be a great inability to hear and receive challenging and deepening truths. This church becomes "doctrinal shoppers" who shop around until they find a voice that does not confront their errors. This church loses the heart for the poor and desires to satisfy self. The church of Christ is not called to be like men. We are called to look beyond self and to focus on Christ so we can be conformed to His image.
