ABSTRACT

The church’s theological and doctrinal position is changing significantly in the twenty-first century, becoming more and more in line with the dominant global order. The adoption of secular ideology, materialism, and a diluted message that puts comfort over conviction are all signs of this departure from the true gospel. Instead of emphasizing repentance, holiness, and the gospel’s transformative power, many churches increasingly emphasize wealth, self-help, and inspirational preaching. Biblical authority has diminished, moral standards have been redefined, and core Christian beliefs have been undermined as a result of this conformity with the global system. Worship sessions are now more about performance than spiritual nourishment due to the impact of entertainment, technology, and modern culture. Many church leaders compromise on biblical truths in their pursuit of relevance, sacrificing doctrinal purity in favor of inclusivity. The central message of redemption in Christ alone has been further reduced by social justice movements, political correctness, and relativism. This essay investigates the causes of this conformity, looking at how church doctrines and practices have been impacted by consumerism, digital media, and cultural changes. It draws attention to the perils of this sway and stresses the necessity of restoring biblical authenticity. The report urges the church to withstand the temptation to conform to the global system and advocates for a renewed dedication to biblical truth. The church can only continue to remain the body of Christ and be a lighthouse in a world that is becoming more and more secular by preserving the real message.
