Why does the church teach so many things that go directly against the Bible? I agree that there are a lot of things that can be…..read more than one way but to tell people that they have the right to demand, from God? To me that simply tells me that God is a genie in a lamp and we can rub it and he HAS to make our every wish come true! We can have every whim our hearts can dream up!
Well my friend in that case I want my step father to come back, not only back but I want him in a-1 health.” What? What’s that? What do you mean God won’t do that? You just told me that God HAS to give me the desire of my heart”. And just the same as God will not give me my step father, neither does he HAVE to give you the desire of your heart. Do you know why? Because there is a little sentence that says for HIS GLORY!! You see dear reader, God does things that he knows we need, it’s not about our wants, our desires. Our wants and desires are usually whims, Oh, if only I could hit the lottery! I would do so many things. I’d give to this and to that, and to this person and that person, But usually it’s after we get everything WE want, God is suppose to get 10% of our earnings. But how many people are willing to give it? I have this bill and that, Ok God I’ll catch you next week. You see He is always taking a back seat to something or other. I know because I am guilty of doing the exact same thing.
But you know what dear reader, as I sit here writing this – a thought is passing through my head, What if God decided to make us take a back seat? What if we were the last thing he took care of? What if He called your name and said if you do this I’ll do anything you ask, and then went His own way. After you did what he asked.
What would happen if Christ had not made the ultimate sacrifice? We owe so much to Him, but through the years the Bible has become nothing more than a book that just sits on the bookshelf or the coffee table when the Pastor comes around gathering dust, in case the Pastor comes to visit. We like to make ourselves look holy and good in the eyes of our fellow church members but what goes on in our homes after we leave the church on Sundays?
Most of the adults today, don’t care about prayer meetings, most people go to Bible study and church service just so they have something to do. The Church does not carry the same meaning it once did. There are countless Pastors and priest who would rather get online and get their jolly’s looking at porn and have affairs when they don’t think anyone is looking.
It’s a shame that there are so many who call ourselves “Christian” the definition of the word is far from the lives we lead. I challenge you go down the street someday and ask the person walking by if they are a “Christian” most people would tell you that they are, In fact the people who were involved in the 911 bombing would tell you they are “Christian”. The name has become so polluted, the definition is so clouded that the actual meaning of the word is a stench in the nostrils of God. The United States is no longer a Christian nation she has walked away from the powerful God protected nation that she once was. She has become just short of that Sodom and Gomorrah once was. We have walked away from the faith, and become the number 1 distributer of Porn in the world.
There are countless married men and women who are caught up in porn and illicit sex sites, our teens are now “sexting” in their cell phones. If you do not know what it means I’ll tell you. Sexting means they take nude photos of themselves and send it to the person they are dating or want to date! WHAT HAS BECOME OF THIS NATION??? God says in His holy word that “as in the day’s of Sodom and Gomorrah so will be the day of the Lords return. If you are not sure what Sodom and Gomorrah were like, take a hard look at 2 Peter chapter2. Then think about the world today. [BIBLE][/BIBLE]
