Most pastors in America won’t confront sin in the church, and will purposely overlook and make excuses for it rather than to confront the ones doing the sinning.
Each and every moment of each and every day we should not only care what Father God thanks of us but we should be afraid of offending Him, Father God is purer, without sin, and no sin can be in His presence! So if you have unforgiven sin in your life you cannot be in the presence of Father God! That means no heaven when you die! Do you know what moment of what day you will draw your last breath? If not then each and every moment of each and every day we should be constantly aware of our words and actions! Be honest, no man knows the hour he will take his last breath, nor does anyone know the hour that the Lord will return!
That is why i thank this journey is so important.
You may thank i am totally off the wall, old faction, trying to be to holy, self-richest, or a number of other things, but you know what, i really don’t care what you think of me! Your opinion really doesn’t count nor does it carry any weight on if I make it in to heaven or not; YOU ARE NOT GOD!!!!!
And I am sick of people and pastor’s saying “well yea it is in the bible but we are human, and no one can live that way now days”, how sad is that? It shows that they have no faith in God what so ever! Or “you need to tapper down what you are saying, you will offend people”.
How sad when you can’t speak the truth because it will offend someone.
So let’s try these on:
Matthew 3:2 “Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand,
Mark 1:15 “the kingdom of God is at hand: repent and believe on the gospel.”
Luke 13:3 “I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.
Acts 2:38 “Repent, and let each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Sprit
Acts 26:20 “that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds appropriate to repentance.
Ezekiel 18:30 “Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, each according to his conduct,” declares the Lord God. “Repent and turn away from all your transgressions, so that iniquity may not became a stumbling block to you.
i do relies there are those who will say yea but He is speaking to the house of Israel, yes He is but the bible was written for us so that we can know how to live and serve Father God and on the day of death or the day of His return to get us, so we can go and live with Him forever in Heaven, So i would rather be on the safe side and reed this as;
Therefore I will judge you, jay, according to your conduct,” declares the Lord God. “Repent and turn away from all your transgressions, so that iniquity may not became a stumbling block to you.
This is how i read the bible as if the Lord is talking directly to me and telling me what to do and not to do, like i told you in the beginning, this is not about you but you can come along if you want.
It is time for Christians to stand up and be the men and women God created us to be and to stand up for what is right, pure and good, to stand firm in the word and will of the Lord, and to cut sin out of our lives and the church, for God will not partner up with sin and nether should we, weather out of the church nor in the church.
I know the guy is a thief but I am going to allow him to care for my house, I know the guy is a child molesters but I’m going to allow him to care for my children,
I know the fox eat chickens but I’m going to allow it to live in my chicken coop,
I know he does bad things and can’t be trusted, but Jesus love him so I will look the other way and put up with it, even though he is distracting and leading others from the word of the Lord
I DON’T THINK SO: it is time the church stood up for the word of the Lord so it and our lives lived through Jesus will draw others to repentance and salvation.
i see why the world sees Christians, the church, as hypocrites, because most of us are.
