DO WHAT YOU SAY
If we avoid professing the truth of what we believe for fear it might put ourselves on rejections path or if we value the temporary approval of dirt over the living, eternal Word of God...Houston is not the only one with a problem. Can you spell danger? Wishy washy. Passivity. Mmm just whatever. Carelessness. Not hot. Not cold. Who cares? It doesn't matter or so it might seem harmless for a time. In the end, when time runs out, your choices will matter much. Your attitude will arrive at it's destination, I promise.
If you often find yourself around those who have a form of godliness, but zero demonstration of its power... I do not care where you met these people - I'd be taking a long hike in the opposite direction if I were you. Fear grows there. Constant confusion. Misunderstanding. Posers. Pretenders. Religious, controlling spirits. Manipulation. Deception so deceptive you could hardly see it for what it is.
If you do not cling to the pure WORD OF GOD and call on Jesus, you will find yourself absorbed in meaningless nothing and too busy to pray or discern anything at all. The church and the world are full of all 'basically good people' that may not realize they are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked without the mirror of God's word to reveal the simple truth. Every one of us need to confess with our mouths and believe in our hearts that JESUS IS LORD. (Romans 10:9,10) And once we believe, we must live what we say we believe.
Words are plentiful. Actions are nil. Many say they love God and love others. Few prove that love with their lives. Jesus said that if you love me you will do my words. .LOVE.
When Jesus comes...He is coming for His desire, for love. For the one who knows him, desires him, is waiting and watching for Him. Anticipating the fulfillment of His promise. Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess His name. Those who believe and those who believe not. It will not matter how much community service you have performed, how many accomplishments and credentials you have gained, how many awesome people friend you on facebook, or what church you attended, or any of the other seemingly relative possibilities. There is no salvation outside or aside from the Saviour. You either freely receive the perfect sacrafice made for you (The blood of the Lamb) or you reject it. Both have certain outcomes.
Let those who love the LORD hate evil, for he guards the lives of his faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked. Psalm 97.10
