I have shame. For the things I knowingly do that are not consistent to God’s demands of my life. For the things I haphazardly create, circumstances where I cause hurt to the unsuspecting through off-hand words, spite or misdirected frustration. I am culpable for that which I do not say, when knowing as I do that to remain silent allows confusion, misses priceless opportunities to speak the Gospel Truth and for those times when my silence or inaction allowed evil to win in the absence of my Godly opposition. I am a prince and priest and I should never forget that especially in the moments when I may be used for forceful impact to God’s Glory and Eternal Plan for humanity.
For shame teachers and pastors who are fooling themselves into neglecting their accountability to the God they represent within the flock for which they have accepted responsibility. The authority to speak God’s Word and direct believers or those seeking the Truth cannot be misconstrued. This authority comes only from God and therefore requires a daily accountability review as to the lessons taught, the actions taken, the treasure employed and the words spoken. I see rampant misuse of Christ’s Name to benefit churches that have nothing more to their name than worldly entertainment and social experimentalism. These leaders have ignored Biblical warnings toward allowing the enemy a seat within the Body or spreading speculation in exchange for real Biblical Doctrine. The Holy Spirit is the Counselor, the Guide, the Helper and the evidence of eternal salvation. A lesson plan can be academically perfect, inspired in delivery and received with the cheers of all present and still be nothing more than the idle prattles of an over educated, false-teacher. Without the Spirit you got nothing. Check Acts 8:16 if you must disagree.
We are in the last days by faith, not by sight. Certainly the world matches much of which the Bible predicted but I do not consider worldly facts as the true evidence of the nearness of Christ’s return. Neither do I look to my emotion to tell me that the harvest is ripe and the sickle near. It may be rare coincidence that the outwardly evidences and the inwardly emotions match the Biblical discernment which tells me time is near, or perhaps it may be that the Truth is always true, no matter in which direction it is reviewed. All I know is that false teachers/teachings abound, lackadaisical faith is predominant and the birds of the air have found warmth and acceptance fellow-shipping with the righteous. The clouds come over the horizon in morning, distorting the sun and concealing the darkness and I know the storm this portends. I have seen mans love grow cold, the steadfast grow greedy and weary in pursuit of their own reflection and the mighty grow fat when the battle nears. This is a time for diligence, so AWAKE my sleeping watchmen. This is a time for preparation of heart, mind and family, so ARISE my girded shepherds. This is a time for fulfillment of the great commission, so ALARM the masses of God’s coming judgment and the hope of salvation and safety in Christ.
I want to be that which I can become with the provision and blessing of the Lord. I live for Glory and the knowledge of what my actions will help to usher in. God could have chosen a donkey to do my job, but he didn’t he gave me the choice of obedience and rebellion. I would rather go down in flaming failure after committed attempt than suffer the shame of victory by default. He loved me enough to come down to this in order to pull me from the jaws of damnation. I will not sit on the sidelines when I see the enemy declaring empty promises of false grandeur that our children are accepting as just pursuit. I live for Hope, the glorious Hope of God’s intervention in the eternal future of mankind. What a glorious Hope I have found in Christ Jesus. The savior of humanity, the Lamb of God, the Word, The Beginning and the End, God incarnate, Jesus the King of All. May His name be Glorified and Praised and may the mockers be silenced. Amen
