Isaiah 30:1 "Woe to the obstinate children," declares the Lord, "to those who carry out plans that are not mine, forming an alliance, but not by my Spirit, heaping sin upon sin; (NIV)
We are on the brink of destruction in America today. According to a recent poll less than fifty percent of Americans now consider themselves Christians. That fact is disheartening enough but when you also consider that among the forty-nine percent or so that do consider themselves as Christians a large number of them have forsaken what the Word of God considers sin. You see there is a considerable number of "Christians" today that have turned away from the Bible and have been blinded by satan's version of "Christianity". That version is based on tolerance and acceptance. That group of "Christians" has decided that being a "Christian" means that they should embrace same-sex marriage, abortion on demand and many other social issues that are clearly against what God's Word plainly spells out as sin.
II Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, the will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. (NIV)
To make matters worse, there are a large number of preachers and pastors in America today, that have also fallen victim to this blindness. They so want a "Mega Church" that they have become "seeker friendly" and do not want to do or say anything that would offend a potential member (tither). The sermons are usually uplifting and non-confrontational. There is no mention of sin and the consequences of that sin. There is no mention if anything that would be considered controversial. They want to tickle the ears of those who sit under their shepardship. The music has become a concert instead of true "Praise and Worship. What these pastors don't realize is that their parishioners are blindly going to hell and they are driving the bus. Sin is sin and Christians must stand up and say so. Call it what it is. If God says it is sin, then it is SIN!. They are doing no one any favors by not calling it what it is.
Revelation 3:19 - 22 "Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on His throne. Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches." (NIV)
In Revelations, God speaks to the church. He is telling us that we can still make this right. He is standing at the door and waiting for us to open it. We can still stand up for what we believe in and we can make a difference in America. Men of God, REPENT! Men of God, stand up and be counted. Men of God, have the courage to say that sin is sin. Hate the sin, but love the sinner. You don't have to accept what they are doing to accept them. Show them the love that God has for them and help them to see the consequences of what they are doing. Men of God, take our country back from those who would destroy it and make God the head of our universe. Not tolerance.
