Dear Victorious,
What, in your opinion, is the biggest problem in Christian churches today?
Mark O. - Temple, TX
Dear Mark,
That's a big question. There are a lot of problems in Christian churches today ... as there were in Christian churches hundreds and even thousands of years ago. I suppose if we had to identify just one that causes the most trouble (i.e., keeps the church from being effective in its mission), it would be the inability and/or unwillingness of the church to confront sin.
In the Old Testament, prophets were raised up by God to, among other things, identify and confront sin. God may still be raising up those prophets today, but if He is, nobody is listening to them. Perhaps they've been silenced by church rules, by culture, etc. But the point is, identification and confrontation of sin in the lives of the people in the churches is not happening. And the consequences are far greater than I think any of us can imagine.
