This important prophetic message can also be found in part in my book The Coming Church. It is a 300 page revelation of a fire-storm from Heaven that will be hitting our planet very soon. Church as we know it is about to shift radically. This specific message that I'm bringing to you in this short book is one that should cause us to be awakened. This book will deal with different types of churches that millions of Americans are a part of-that are at significant risk. I challenge you to read this book in its entirety and prayerfully consider, in humility, whether you may have fallen into one of these at risk groups. I must also wrestle with this myself. Three church movements are putting millions at risk of missing God entirely: The Money Changers Church The money changers church is possibly the best representation of the current American/Western church. This is a serious issue. This is possibly the most severe and violent reaction from Jesus to a situation when he was still on the Earth. Note how aggressively Jesus rebuked and resisted the money changers. Why is this? They were fueled by a spirit of religion. Religion defined is man's attempt to use God and his church to get what he wants. They were using the temple for personal gain. They were thinking about their own needs and desires instead of ministering to God. They went into the temple with the expectation of leaving with more than they entered with. The call to the church is for us to enter with an offering. A sacrifice. We leave with less than we entered with! The Triumphal Entry Church Now this is church! I've witnessed first hand how people will flood into an environment that's full of celebration and exuberance. I enjoy those environments too! I've also witnessed first hand how those same people-those who are dancing at the altar, going after a happy experience, will get sad when the call to the cross is preached. It's heart wrenching. The focus of the people at the Triumphal Entry is similar to the focuses in the other churches we are discussing. They wanted their lives to be better. Blessing and personal gain were their motives. The Rich Young Ruler Church I am convinced there are millions of people following Jesus in an unsaved condition. Pastors have affirmed people's commitment to Christ and, in turn, their eternal security, all while, in many of those cases Jesus knew the deeper truth-they were not willing to surrender all. I believe the sinner's prayer has probably led more people to Hell than to Heaven. Handled wrongly it gives people false-confidence in their position in Christ. How many go to church each week, raise their hands in worship, pay their tithes and and follow Jesus in a very public way, the same way the Rich Young Ruler wanted to-but are actually not saved?
