Why Does This Generation Seek a Sign?


Mark in his Gospel draws attention away from exterior signs and to the internal transformation and the power that results from it. Jesus denounces those who sought for signs as being wicked and adulterous. Those who search for tongues, prophets, personal experiences, signs, wonders, are not searching for the Truth. The emphasis of true teaching is holiness. Those who seek outward signs instead of inward holiness are heading towards destruction. Right and wrong is not based on how we feel, it is based on the Bible. Jesus warns His followers not to be tricked by pretenders. The Pharisees were pretenders. They sought for “holiness” without obedience to God. It was pretended holiness. Bad doctrine is like leaven and Christ calls His disciples away from it. God has given all mankind a will to seek but to seek for Truth, not to fall into relativism. There is an absolute Truth and it is found in the Word of God. Not in the pantheism of Greek philosophy that Paul came across in Ancient Athens. We must not allow our reason and abilities to get in the way of God’s will. Secular humanism is the core of the demise of all the older Christian denominations. Many organizations that once preached truth have given in to the lie that you can ignore God and embrace reason to save the world. But you cannot be the bride of Christ and married to the world at the same time. In the last days many will seek for a sign and miss Christ. Anti-Christ will sit in the Church and lead many astray. Those who truly desire to follow after Christ must take up their cross upon a path of humiliation and death. There will be no eternal life unless one dies to themselves.
