What ever happened to repentance?
Millions claim Jesus as their Savior, but neglect to make him Lord – want forgiveness without repentance

Most spend a considerable amount of time of pondering change
While we pursue change, we demand change on our own terms
Examples – self-help, self-improvement
Today’s seekers of Christianity – “shopping” for a church

Do we truly love if we neglect to call the unrepentant to repentance?
In an effort to “accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative” we have treated sin and repentance as the embarrassing uncle
Why am I an uncommitted believer?

• Sermons are boring
• Members are unfriendly to visitors
• Wonder about the quality of the nursery care
• Church seems to more concerned about my wallet
• Music isn’t very upbeat
