I am so sick of the condemnation coming from the people of GOD. We get so caught up in the smallest things, that don't amount to anything. We end up with our noses in the air looking at those who don't look exactly like us as if they're stinking up our church building!
It makes me sick to hear that the lost see that the vast majority of the redeemed are living by the law. And that when those who express their freedom from the law by doing something out of the norm for a Christian, the lost condemn them!
GOD does not condemn me, why should you?
Where are GOD's redeemed? We're having such a love affair with the world, we don't want to give it up anymore! It is seen as a great sacrifice now to give up everything to follow GOD. A sacrifice too great for many. We won't let go! We hold on to our reputation, our prestige. We hold onto what others think about us more than what we ever care about what GOD thinks!
What has happened to the body of Christ? We've become like the world! We say we're Christians, but we don't act any different! We are ensnared in the same sin as the lost. And we don't see it as sin!
No longer can we get a full understanding of what we believe, a knowledge of how to give an answer to every question asked of us without years of seminary, countless conferences, and books by the great men of GOD.
We've lost touch with the Spirit within us.
We don't yearn for the heart of GOD! It isn't our priority anymore. We care about growth, but GOD has fallen of the list.
GOD is a jealous GOD. HE doesn't take second place. It's either first or nothing.
No more excuses.
Rediscover? I think not.
