As I talked to this so called Christian I thought of many verses , here is one, all verses before and after this do also apply. Having good doctrine. 2 Tim 4:5 But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

Having good doctrine.

2 Tim 4:5
But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

They go back to their old lifestyles and start to glorify Satan." I'm surprised you see that. I see very little change myself. But I see a couple problems. First, most Christians now are totally ignorant of God's ways. They are fed milk by the mega churchers and nothing more. No wonder they don't grow! The second problem is that the mega-churches cater to those seeds that were sown on the rocky soil. Initially you get great results. But then the sun comes out and the plant withers. With Obama getting elected, we Christians can expect that the wheat and the tares will become most evident. “The reason I write is b/c I’m just tired of seeing people walk away from the faith and start living like the World again.

No Fruit, No Christ in their lives. We just need to pray for those who once tasted of the Lord and pray that God gets a hold of them and calls them to repentance. Man, it just really gets to me b/c I know of another person who says their a Christian but doesn't attend church, has no fellowship of the brethren, uses profanity and doesn't exibit Love and has bitterness in their life. Their is NO FRUIT and then I hear them say, "I'm a good person, I'm a Christian, and I pray to God everyday." Truely Ridiculous! You said, “Where is the new life?” – That is the point. No Fruit, No Christ in their lives.

I was just discussing this with a dear friend of mine yesterday. If a "Christian" talks like the world, dresses like the world, thinks like the world, behaves like the world, then where is the new Creation in Christ? Where's the new life? Where's the transforming power of the Third Person of the Godhead, the Holy Spirit? Where's the power in the Gospel? Ah....the gospel....and what gospel did these worldly religious folks hear and then believe? God calls us to purity and holiness, for HE is pure and HE is holy. If our desire isn't to live in obedience to the Master, the we better examine ourselves to see if we truly are in the faith or not. Eternity is at stake.
