American Christianity is in shambles. Large attendance, impressive buildings, gifted teachers, and skilled musicians are not the Bible's metrics for spiritual health. We are the covenant bride of Christ yet we have courted multiple love affairs with the wickedness of our culture.
Biblical authors throughout Scripture describe the betrayal of idolatry as spiritual adultery. When the children of Israel polluted their worship of God with the worship of idols, the prophet Hosea rebuked them saying, "
For a spirit of whoredom has led them astray, and they have left their God to play the whore
."
Jesus said, "
Why do you call me 'Lord, Lord,' and not do what I tell you
?" The days are evil and the hour is late. American churches stand at a crossroads.
Whoring Bride
is not Scripture but was written in the tone and style of a New Testament epistle to the churches in America today. It summons her to repent of her brazen unfaithfulness. No new ideas are presented, but rather a clarion call for us to stop ignoring what we know to be true. It is a plea for the believers in our nation to stop playing the whore and return to our first Love.
