You want me to be arbiter of your disobedience and refusal to give all of your trust to God. There is no hope nor reason in that position for a prince. For to make believe one is King to capture Sovereign mindset, evokes the blindness of an eye and the pride to which one falsely falls for season. Certainly if there were no Word, No Holy Spirit, no born again access before the throne and no small quiet voice in the back of our heads, even then it would be stretching the definition of Pastor to presumptively deliver the Truth that I believe God is telling you. His Word is infallible, available, eternal and precise and the Spirit of that Word is a discerner of hearts and minds. Therefore I am free of my own interpretation and shall comfortably restrict myself to the quiet harbor of love and edification to which God has delivered me.
Your Sin is known both to you and before God. If you wish to exclude yourself from man’s entirety and somehow counsel that God will overlook your Sin but judge all other’s go right ahead. We know this thinking foolhardy yet each of us, even the faithful continue to court the harlot of our wickedness believing that Grace allows us to continue in the same sins for which He died on the Cross to free us, forgive us, heal us and deliver us through belief and forgiveness. How can one perfect belief be mocked by iniquitous thinking, as if somehow none of the Passion occurred and that we may remain in captivity to death and sin now that we have establish a feigned faith in false eternal deliverance? We know this to be rabidly untrue.
Now to the conduct of the Church as a Corporate interest, setting, seeking and championing business goals without discussion, consideration or perhaps falsely attributing the approval of the Holy Spirit. Paul warned us through that Holy Spirit of this wickedness two thousand years ago, yet we continue to ignore or mock that perfect prophetic word of our denial of the Power therein, the same Holy Spirit. We emphatically understand that blaspheming that Holy Spirit is the only unforgivable sin yet we race headlong into this immovable barrier in our quest to reach goals of profitability and breadth in reach. What then are the boundaries and rules for tithing and investment capitalization that are somehow different for the Body as a whole that exclude the individual? We now in our hearts what is right with regard to mammon and making God first, yet we continue to inquire of Pastors, Friends and Oracle as with our other beloved sins, the method by which we may set ourselves apart from judgment to achieve our own imperfect goals ignoring the Word’s perfect context.
The Church has gone astray. We are the Body of Christ and last I checked when one part of the body became cancerous the rest followed or equally suffered. What fiction and folly have we convinced ourselves that allows each of us to remain holy, righteous and true within the construct of a body gone to virus, plague or leaven? We were even warned by Jesus Himself of the danger of this pinch within the loaf. How shall we now escape the understanding that the Body of Christ is the Loaf of which Jesus counseled? Additionally, the Holy Spirit through Jude told us that the Church, the Body would be infiltrated during these last days and that we are to be set apart for God separating ourselves from the ungodly that have crept in among us, those predestinated for judgment for wickedness. How then now may we continue in our already recognized: infiltrated, cancerous, ungodly body proclaiming ourselves once again outside the inclusionary definition of “The World” that God so greatly loved. We are mankind especially if we believe ourselves “Self Righteously” outside God’s definition. Pride is always the sword upon which the arrogant will fall.
