“The modern Gospel message is often presented in such a manner that the motivation becomes having an enhanced life, rather than the Lord Jesus Christ being my life. Consequently, Jesus is viewed as one more thing that I incorporate into my life instead of recognizing that He is THE way, THE truth, and THE life (see John 14:6).” Simply Singular, Is Christ Prominent of Preeminent?, Jerry Benjamin, p. 5.

Examining the role of God's Truth in Keeping Unity, not Creating It "Your Word is True from the beginning…" Psalm 119:160a KJV
Sadly, so many people who seriously consider themselves to be Christians give Jesus this treatment. For them, He is only a “1 hour on Sunday” occurrence. Once that 1 hour ‘obligation’ has expired, life goes on as usual. This is one of Satan’s greatest deceptions, as these people actually think they are okay; never mind that they are suffocating under the weight of sin and living like the world. For them, true fulfillment comes from worldly pursuits, not from loving and serving the Lord. We need to pray that their eyes would be opened to their need for a Savior, and put off the ‘old man’.
