Slavic Christians need repentance
Dear Slavic Christians,
There are those in my community who worship money, sex, image, power, and status. Listen to our sermons and conversations. Notice how we dress and who we hang out with. Look at our houses and possessions.
Truth is, my people are the most fake, bitter, emotionally disconnected, arrogant, victim-mindset, insecure, fearful, poor, addicted, secretive, abusive, and demonically oppressed “Christians” I’ve met.
We call ourselves “believers,” but we don’t act like we believe in God, let along bring Him praise because we’re too busy seeking praise for ourselves.
A big-named pastor commits suicide, lies are told to cover up the real story.
A man beats his wife into a comma, the church protects him.
A traveling prophet molests boys for decades, he’s preaching from the pulpit one month later.
Young people overdose on drugs, abuse alcohol, commit suicide, and we say, “We didn’t know they were struggling. See, that’s what happens to kids that rebel against their parents.”
Young women get plastic surgery to fit into the world standards of beauty and never feeling like they’re enough.
Preachers are ranting about New Age and telling girls they can’t paint their nails or wear makeup because they’ll “turn men on.”
Fathers are raping their daughters and curse them if they speak up to authorities. “You disgrace our family image,” they say.
Mothers are cursing their sons.
Slavics are on welfare while driving G-wagons and live in mansions.
Businessmen cheat on their taxes while preaching the “Prosperity Gospel.”
We hang out in cliques and make others feel invisible.
We hate and say, “God didn’t mean I should forgive narcissists.”
We repress our feelings and develop cancer and other unexplainable illnesses in our bodies.
We complain about the oppression in USSR while complaining about freedom in America.
We want everything for free until we’re the ones charging the bill.
Parents control their children even after they marry them off.
Fear makes us run from one state to another during a crisis.
Unforgiveness divides families.
We look good on stage, but off, we are in our bubble of superiority.
We don’t dare ask more profound questions about the state of someone’s soul but superficially say, “I’ll pray for you.”
Who taught us to act this way?
Who said this behavior was okay?
Why is this happening?
BECAUSE MY PEOPLE DON’T KNOW JESUS.
My people don’t worship God with ALL their hearts, souls, minds, and strength.
My people are stuck in “Egypt.” We are in bondage as a community.
We fear speaking up to legalistic pastors and leaving their church. We’re afraid of getting rejected and standing alone for the holy name of Christ. My people lack integrity. Our thoughts, feelings, and actions do not resemble those of Christ.
How can we call ourselves “Christ followers?” We embarrass the name that millions of angels in heaven worship. We don’t deserve to say, “Christ is my Savior,” if we do not value His blood that set us free.
Spread this to all Slavic Christians. We must wake up! We need repentance!
