God spoke to me yesterday about the practice of using euphemisms to distort the integrity of Christ.
The definition of a euphemism is a mild or indirect word or expression substituted for one considered to be too harsh or blunt when referring to something unpleasant or embarrassing.
In the context of God, this refers to the substitution of a truth of God for a more palatable version acceptable to society.
This tactic is pervasive in Christianity and has corrupted the Body of Christ.
Some examples:
Compromising the word of God to appease the changing culture in our world
Interpreting the Word of God to satisfy impure motives
Relegating the importance of faith to promote works and laws
Minimizing the judgments of God
Subverting the importance of the Holy Spirit, the life of Christ in a believer
Redefining the character of God, He never changes
Dismissing the retribution of God, He blesses and He curses
The action of elevating the importance of a personality or a specific church over the preeminence of Christ Jesus
Accepting changing social mores like the new gender definitions in our world
This is why God has placed a curse over Christianity.
The words in Amos 3:11 reflect the heart of God for today and the punitive action He is employing to restore the Body of Christ to the standards of a New Testament church.
“An enemy will overrun your land, pull down your strongholds and plunder your fortresses.”
Accept Jesus for who He is without compromise. Walk with Jesus by faith anchored to the Holy Spirit.
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life!
