The Single Biggest Problem in America is Sin

The biggest issue in America and worldwide is sin and the declining commitment to truth in church pulpits.

The failure in many American and worldwide pulpits is the lack of teaching of all of God’s truth, particularly the message that we should not be serving sin.

Too many self-proclaimed pastors and evangelists neglect the importance of prayer and fail to seek guidance from God’s Word.

Psalms 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Pulpits are often preoccupied with promoting tolerance and political correctness instead of addressing the crucial themes of repentance, judgment, and sin.

In today’s world, many pastors and evangelists prioritize gaining the approval of people over seeking God’s approval. During these crucial times, they aim to please the ears rather than challenge the heart.

2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

“Christians, it is vital to courageously proclaim the truth.”

2 Timothy 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. Standing for the truth comes from persistent prayer, unconditional brokenness, and complete surrender to the Word of God.

Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

Romans 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

Romans 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

Romans 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

Romans 6:6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth “we should not serve sin”.

Romans 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.

Many teach God’s love is unconditional, extending to all individuals, regardless of their actions. This perspective is often supported by the reference to John 3:16 which is pulled out of context.

Many pastors prioritize being liked and filling seats over teaching truth. They avoid speaking against sin due to their own worldliness and sin.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

But you can see that God loved everyone by giving his son so we can obtain eternal life. We are required to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling.

In today’s world, this Scripture from the Bible is one of the most familiar verses, known and repeated by both sinners and Christians, but heavily misquoted.

God indeed loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son. That is how much God loved everyone. He would that everyone would repent and get saved.

Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Romans 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Matthew 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance.

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

But for those who do not repent, he will bring them to judgment to be judged and punished.

2 Peter 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

God doesn’t even hear a sinner’s prayer unless it’s a prayer of repentance.

John 9:31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

1 John 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

What is sin?

1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

1 John 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

1 John 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

1 John 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

1 John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

Many people in the church who are living in sin will hear Jesus say to them, “I never knew you; depart from me, you who practice sin.

Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work sin.
