What most people today believe about the Kingdom of God is really an imaginary Kingdom of Fables and dreams that has no basis in the Bible.

Those in the “Lite Church” preach a “Stripped Down Gospel” in which all that is offensive to the flesh has been removed or repacked so that it no longer poses any discomfort to the hearer.

We travel against the flow. When we do this we oppose those that are going with the flow. As we pass them this produces friction and heat. They hate us because we are resisting what they feel is normal. Resistance always produces friction. Jesus told us that there would be friction between the world and His Church. This is the path of most resistance and it is the path the Church must take.
