Our ministry is very active ministering on the streets and wherever we are at. We hear it night after night from people that are out partying in the clubs that profess to be Christians, drunks that profess to be Christians, women that dress like prostitutes that profess to be Christians, men that lust after women that profess to be Christians, foul mouthed people that profess to be Christians, people that listen to foul mouth rappers that profess to be Christians and all types of people that fit right into the world that profess to be Christians???? They party on Friday and Saturday nights then tell us that they will be in church on Sunday morning like they are doing Jesus some kind of favor. When they tell me that they are going to church I tell them “big deal”. What a joke!!! There is so much more to it and most do not get it.
James 4:4 Don't you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God.
We ask people passing by the clubs “are you serving Jesus tonight”? A very small percentage say no and I make sure to thank them for being honest. Most that profess to be Christians are liars and are of the devil!!
JESUS SAID!!!!
John 8:43 Why can't you understand what I am saying? It's because you can't even hear Me! 44 For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45 So when I tell the truth, you just naturally don't believe Me! 46 Which of you can truthfully accuse Me of sin? And since I am telling you the truth, why don't you believe Me? 47 Anyone who belongs to God listens gladly to the words of God. But you don't listen because you don't belong to God."
1John 3:8 He who practices sin is of the Devil, for the Devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was revealed, that He might undo the works of the Devil. 9 Everyone who has been born of God does not commit sin, because His seed remains in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.10 In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the Devil: everyone not practicing righteousness is not of God
The liars are not just the people that we find on the streets they are also many of the ones that have their butts glued to the pews on Sunday mornings. So many women that dress showing most of what they got get offended when you question their salvation (like there really is any question). I tell them that they look much more like a prostitute than a woman of God. We are not going to “tickle their ears” like most pastors do. They need to hear the truth and they will not hear it in most churches. Jesus would not have anything to do with the majority of today’s churches.What happened to the meaning of “Christian”, to be “Christ-like”?? How happened to being “followers of Christ”?? How many that profess to be Christians are “Christ-like or “followers of Christ”??
1John 2:3 And by this we know that we have known Him, if we keep His commandments. 4 He who says, I have known Him, and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoever keeps His Word, truly in this one the love of God is perfected. By this we know that we are in Him. 6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk even as He walked.
You have got to be kidding me “keep His Commandments”, and “walk as he walked”??? Can you imagine what the percentage of Christians would be if they were judged according to “keeping His commandments” and “walking as He walked”? Of course none of us could ever measure up to Jesus. We must strive to be as close to imitating Him as we can!! I have to examine myself daily to make sure that I am truly living my life for Jesus.
Acts 11:26 And finding him, he brought him to Antioch. And it happened to them a whole year they were assembled in the church. And they taught a considerable crowd. And the disciples were first called Christian in Antioch.
Looking at the above verse it actually says the disciples were first called Christian.What is a disciple? Disciple - A follower; an adherent to the doctrines of another. Hence the constant attendants of Christ were called his disciples; and hence all Christians are called His disciples, as they profess to learn and receive his doctrines and precepts.Look at this “a follower”, most people that profess to be “Christians” follow when it is convenient for them. Many think that all they have to do is follow on Sunday. Live like the devil 6 days a week and then get “spiritual” on Sunday. Look at the definition saying “constant attendants”??? Come on now that is asking a bit much for today’s “Charmin soft, lukewarm, cupcake so called Christian”. They would say “do you mean I have to follow Him 24/7”??? Look at bit more “all Christians are called His disciples”. That means that we should all be following His ways. The definition goes on to say “learn and receive his doctrines and precepts”. Now for today’s “so called Christian” they would be saying “you have gone too far”. We have to do all this to truly be “Christians”. Most people on the street that profess to be “Christians” can not even quote one verse from the Bible. This is very common in Catholics. I had a Catholic guy that nearly started crying this past weekend because he was ashamed of himself for not knowing the Word of God. I told him that Jesus would have gone to the cross just for him and he will not even read the Bible to see what Jesus says in it. I also told him that it was not all his fault because it is ignorance passed down from generation to generation in the Catholic Church. I am not saying that this only goes on in the Catholic Church but we run across more Catholics than anything else that do not know the Word of God.This is why so many that profess to be Christians are actually “wide gators” and there will be so few “narrow gators”. Wide gators will spend eternity burning in hell!!! Narrow gators must strive to “walk as He walked”. That is the only way that anyone will spend eternity in heaven.
JESUS SAID!!!!
Matthew 7:13 Go in through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many there are who go in through it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and constricted is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
1Peter 4:17 For the time has come for the judgment to begin from the house of God.And if it first begins from us, what will be the end of those disobeying the gospel of God? 18 And if the righteous one is scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
Many so called pastors will stand before the Lord with blood on their hands for the way that they have failed to teach the truth of the Word of God.
Ezekiel 33:8 When I say to the wicked, O wicked one, you shall surely die; if you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked one shall die in his iniquity; but I will require his blood at your hand. 9 But, if you warn the wicked of his way, to turn from it; if he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul.
Many people are in trouble because they have been too lazy and ignorant to search the scriptures for the truth. They follow what their parents have told them and fail to seek out their own salvation with fear and trembling.(Phil 2:12)
Acts 17:11 And these were more noble than those of Thessalonica, in that they received the Word with all readiness of mind and searched the Scriptures daily to see if those things were so.
There are so many “meatheads” out there today that call themselves “Pastors” that are much more concerned about what is going into the offering plate than what they are putting into peoples heads. People best wake up and start searching the scriptures to make sure that they are in right standing with the Lord. We must strive to reach the lost for Jesus but the sad thing is that “few will enter through the narrow gate”.
JESUS SAID!!!!
Mark 16:15 And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
