When God is Not Your Vibe

Dear Friend,

Today, Christianity is facing an alarming crisis with the rise of false teachers. It is unfortunate to see how many are twisting the Word of God to manipulate others and accomplish their own selfish desires and hidden agendas. As a result, many are being influenced and led away from the truth. The message of the Gospel is not about telling people what they want to hear, but about proclaiming what they need to hear. It is not merely about making people feel good. In today’s language, it is not about a selective Christianity that tries to fit within your “vibe.”

Our heart is to proclaim the truth of the Gospel faithfully, the message you need to hear, even when it challenges you and does not align with your personal preferences or “vibe.” If your pursuit of Christ never challenges you, it may be time to examine whether you are truly following Christ according to the Word of God.

In this edition, we explore the theme “When God Is Not Your Vibe.” I invite you to read through this issue prayerfully and thoughtfully, allowing its message to challenge and inspire you to pursue an authentic Christian life, one grounded in the conviction and truth of God’s Word.

God calls us to trust him with all our hearts and to lead a Christian life with the conviction of his truth, rather than living on our personal feelings and vibes. As Christians, we must not forget the truths of God revealed in the Word. Our ultimate destination is eternal life, and our life on this earth is the process towards it. Sustaining in God’s truth in this sinful world is not an easy task, but every challenge you face is worth it in eternity.

Apostle Paul beautifully reminds us in 2 Timothy 4:3-4 ESV “For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.”

The return of our Savior is near. Stand firm in the Word of God, and do not let anyone, or even your own flesh, deceive you or lead you away from the sound teaching of Scripture into the myths of false teachers.
