Biggest problem with christians now days has to do with those issues threaten the destruction of Christian Faith.The Christians now days are facing numerous problems in our society. Christians should wish the gospel was easy to share to the unbelieving community is around us, but this is not the case with rising contemporary issues now days. The Christians now faces serious problems which threaten the destruction of Christian Faith.
Here are the Biggest problem with christians now days
1. Compromise with the standard of the world or walking the parts of the world.
Today, it seems the christians has been more influenced by the society, rather than society being affected by the Christians. It is an undeniable fact that a majority of the people in our society profess to be christians,yet the spiritual condition of our society is worse than before.while the Christians has been trying to use all means to reach out to people, we have not met with such success in improving the spiritual condition of the society. I believe that if the spiritual condition of the society is the christians men focus with the help of God we can make strides. On the other hand , if we only focus on material stuff, definitely we will fail. Paul said in 2nd Corinthians 7 verse one …”beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God I believe this is the key to overcoming the numerous problems we are facing in a society. The truth is that now days there’s biblical literacy and a widespread deficiency, the basic elements of Christian character, ethics and morality. By my observations, there have been moral dysfunctions among professing Christians more than the secular society. It appears alcoholism, substance abuse, domestic violence, greediness, sexual immorality, and promiscuity are commonly seen with the Christian going population. It appears our pockets and Christian platforms are silent when it comes to the issue of sin and immorality in the behavior.when it happens,the Christians is seen more as “married” to the world,but the scripture teaches us in 1 John 2:15-17 “Do not love the world or things of the world .if anyone love the world,the things of the father is not in him…”

2. Homosexuality and moral ethics.
The issue of knowledge has become a much-debated topic in the recent days marriage is being redefined particularly by the LGBT community. It appears the Christians are been pressurized to compromise it’s biblical position on homosexuality. The human rights advocates are pushing the christians to change it’s theological stand as far as marriage is concerned but the Christian cannot accept that because it is unnatural. In some places ministers of religion are expected officiate and bless such union.The contention now is, while church leaders are saying that this is against God’s natural design of sexuality human rights groups are saying that it is people’s choice and rights. The most unfortunate aspects is that some theologians see nothing wrong with this “unnatural behavior” and are trying to use scientific research justify that’s sexual attraction towards one’s on sex is driven by biological make us. My fear is that the issue of homosexual marriage is not the only case where marriage is been redefined. If sex same marriages are allowed the next issue will most likely be that of polygamy and Polyamory. Polygamy is defined as where one person has multiple wives and husbands while Polyamory is defined as multiple lovers within or without a marriage connection. The question is this,Do we want the society to go on this tangent? As Christians we stand against and Christian principles and principalities and not people.

3. Gender roles and equality.
This is measurable equal representation of women and men. Gender equality does not imply that women and men are the same, but that they have equal value and should be accorded equal “treatment” in Ephesians 5 verse 22 to 26 it teaches that “wives” should submit to there husband and husbands to love there wives…”some faminist theologians alleged that the
Bible is gender biased and its teachings are based on it Patriarchal culture. The truth is that the Bible does not encourage operation or gender inequality but rather oneness and sameness before God. The church is finding it is problem to promote biblical truth on gender issues alongside feminist presuppositions. As a result some women in selected churches have been denied the rights to become a pastor or priest or minister. I believe to be a priest, a pastor or whatever designation is used is a calling from God and God is the one who calls whom he chooses.

4. Poverty is another problem confronting the Christians.
Poverty is normally associated with lack of basic needs such as food , shelter and clothes which supports ones everyday living. Poverty is one Factor hindering the christians is it seeks to reach and convince people who argued that If God Is Love and is fair, he would not allow some people to be rich while others are poor. No Christian with lack of resources can reach unsaved people for God’s Kingdom. To spread the gospel to the end of the world, the Christians needs to be rich.we are not promoting the prosperity gospel but just saying the fact.
We can only conquer these biggest problem with christians now days by God’s grace.
May His Grace be sufficient for us . Amen
