Ever wonder why our nation is failing? 1 Timothy 2:1-2.
Perhaps it has something to do with all the churches focus on self serving desires, materialism, paganism and entertainment.
95% of self proclaimed Christians are more brainwashed than most of society. If you think you're safe, you're probably not. We must always seek after God, not for ourselves, but for His kingdom. We never "arrive" ... in fact we are fast drifting in the wrong direction. Living the life of the world while calling ourselves "saved" or "changed."
Changing our appearance and the way we talk does not make you separate.
Do you even realize that most of your Pastors don't even pray any more? How well do you really know your Pastor? I bet you know very little beyond what he tells you. Most of you don't even have a clue that your Pastor knows the full truth about the holidays and is told, paid or forced to keep you decieved and observing all the pagan rituals. And you love it! You love it because it serves your selfish need to feel validated, to feel entitled. To believe you can live however you want and still make it to Heaven!
Well folks you can't lose weight when you keep eating all the junk and never excercise your body!!!
Some of you need to turn off your tv. Most of you need to get rid of the cable or satellite altogether. Even sports have become more drama than game ...
Don't assume I exempt myself. I'm more guilty than most. I'm as unclean and sin infested as anyone. The problem is that most all of the things I get accused of being or doing are lies from persecutors and haters. They don't even know anything about me or my true afflictions ...
I tell them"don't judge me unlessyoure perfect." Doesn't usually get a posotive response ...
Arrogance. That my friends is something I notice in people more than anything else. Pride and self indulgence, greed and justification. The church is plagued by these! "Oh we are not funded to help the poor because we need our puppet shows and sound systems to preach a good message" ... So we will just pawn you off on government and let you become a slave to welfare and a potential candidate for the chip implant ... WHAT???
Ironically the same government pawns off the troops onto society, but that's another topic entirely.
Someone told me once that I should come with a disclaimer "Don't get him started on the government"
What I'm getting at here is that we have destroyed ourselves and have condemned millions to burn along with us. Claiming "Romans 10:9" will not save you. Just being baptized and filled with the Holy Ghost will not save you. Your salvation lies in a total transformation of lifestyle and an utter separation from the traditions of men.
Even if that lands you sleeping on the cold ground alone and scared ... just as it did me. Trust me I don't feel like it makes me better than anyone. I want for a home and a job and to be back with my wife and daughter. I cry for it every night ...
My point is that conformity and over zealous comforts (especially with good intentions) will drag you straight into the fire ...
Living for God is not supposed to be a convenience. Its supposed to be a means to an end ...
So enjoy your pleasures. Live it up! Most of you wouldn't last 5 minutes in my world, being trapped on the outside looking in. Crying out from the wilderness, not to receive anyone's pity, but to save your dying souls ...
