NEO-CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIANITY<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prefix \u201cneo\u201d indicates something that is new, newly revised or recent. We have for example, what is called \u201cneo-science\u201d today and political \u201cneo-conservatives,\u201d etc.. We also have an ever-growing number of neo-conservative Christians today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neo-conservative Christians are those <\/a>who have made what is \u201dgood and acceptable in the eyes of God\u201d synonymous with whatever is good and acceptable in their own eyes. They\u2019ve decided that \u201cpure religion,\u201d that is \u201cundefiled before God and the Father\u201d has nothing whatsoever to do with a Christian\u2019s keeping himself \u201cunspotted from the world,\u201d and they have their own idea as to what constitutes \u201ctrue holiness\u201d (See 1 Tim. 2:3; Jud. 21:25; Prov. 21:2; James 1:27; Eph. 4:24).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pews and pulpits are full of neo-conservative Christians who are running on a self-set religious autopilot, and have gone to sleep spiritually (Rom. 13:11-13). They are willfully ignorant of, and suppressors of, any biblical truth that threatens any form of worldliness that they have incorporated into their lifestyles (2 Pet. 3:5; Rom. 1:18}. Consequently, the spiritual renewal and transformation of their minds is hindered to the end that they are unable to \u201cprove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God\u201d (Rom. 12:1, 2). The spiritual trade-off involved is truly tragic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neo-conservative Christians, to some degree or other, have chosen to have a \u201cform of godliness\u201d even if it means the forfeiture of the \u201cpower\u201d that comes from a relationship with God that depends upon ones practical separation from the world (1 Cor. 6:17; James 4:4; 1 John 2:15-17). Matthew Henry wrote, \u201cIt is an easier thing to persuade men to assume the form of godliness than to submit to the power of godliness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cform of godliness\u201d involves \u201cperformance-based\u201d sham; the desire and effort of people to be seen and thought of as being more spiritual than they really are. This was the sin of Anaias and Sapphira (Acts 5:3-10). It involves the self-gratification of people who think\u2014who have convinced themselves\u2014that they are something that they are not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The power of God is at work in the hearts and minds of Christians who humbly and happily \u201cfollow after holiness\u201d in their lives (Heb. 12:14), including practical ways whereby they separate themselves from the fashions and fads, the ambitions, aspirations, and the appearance and activities that are consistent with Scripture and a real desire to have the \u201cmind of Christ\u201d (Phil. 2:5).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be warned and resist today\u2019s popular neo-conservative Christianity. There is something wrong when and where Christians claim to be spiritually \u201cconservative\u201d yet simultaneously reject as \u201cirrelevant,\u201d \u201clegalistic,\u201d and \u201cpharisaical,\u201d the tenets of practical separation from the world that generations of believers have commonly believed in and practiced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
