Crazy World
The world has gone crazy and has lost its way from God. Too many people are afraid to stand up for God, afraid of offending others and speaking the truth. Who cares who is offended? God is for me, and therefore who can be against me? It is time to take a stand and change the direction that the world is taking because the majority of humanity IS heading for Hell and either we don’t care or we don’t know the truth. So many of those high profile preachers previously spoken of won’t say the harsh truth and the hard things about our accountability before God, and we WILL be held accountable for our actions.
We humans are arrogant and selfish, we tend to only acknowledge what we can see, touch, and sense. We don’t recognize the order that God created in this world, we don’t see His laws within the universe. We are blinded by our self-importance and our self-righteousness. We do not stand a chance but to earn Hell at the rate we are going. Those same high profile preachers don’t speak about Hell. If people realized that Hell is as real as our lives here on earth are, we would not procrastinate on developing our eternal well-being. It is not a place where anyone wants to be. That TRUTH is held in our hearts. We push it away, ignoring and resenting the truth of it. We are never promised tomorrow, and when we die if we haven’t worked on that truth, it’s too late. Many people don’t want to accept the reality of Hell, the feeling being that it isn’t fair of God to create Hell. We as people have a sense of vengeance, of right and wrong, of justice and the price that has to be paid for wrong. God is just. God judges right from wrong. Why wouldn’t there be Hell?
Revival of hope is what will turn society and this world around. Jesus IS real, God IS real, and the Holy Bible contains truth. That truth is where our foundation of hope rests. Our hope is because Jesus died on that Cross for us, as a perfect sacrifice for all of humanity’s sins. He died for all of us, all of our sins, through all the ages, because God knew that we needed it. We can’t do it by ourselves. Jesus is God’s Son. God is a living God, very much aware of what is going on in the world. Both of Them want us, humanity, to find our faith in Them and come home to Them. In order for that to happen, revival, a renewal of the knowledge and truth that is in the Bible and a re-awakening of our hearts has to happen. The Cross and what it represents is our hope and our salvation. When we have hope, then we can be of one mind to help each other stand strong in this life. Our hope becomes eternal.
In the Bible, it is written that Jesus said to go and sin no more. That is what those of us who have come to believe in Jesus need to do. Life is hard. Life is difficult. Times are tough. All of that is nothing new. Give your life to Jesus. Accept our weaknesses and repent our sins. Seek forgiveness with the intention of sinning no more. Commit to being loyal and obedient in your faith, and know that no matter what you go through in this journey of life, Jesus will be there for you. Trust that you have what it takes to endure, and that it is worth it to try and try, and continue to try. It is in our efforts to get it right, to stay out of Hell, and to make it to heaven that we will achieve righteousness.
Hold onto the hope that the Lord has given you, because He does love you.
BELIEVE THAT!! PASTOR JOHN
