Greetings and blessings to all of you. In Amos 8:11-12 it says, “the days are coming declares the Sovereign Lord when I will send a famine through the land; not a famine of food or a thirst for water; but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord. Men will stagger from sea to sea and wonder from north to east searching for the word of the Lord but they will not find it.” Saints WE ARE CURRENTLY IN THAT FAMINE! Do you realize that many professing Christians question certain “truths” in the Bible such as homosexuality, fornication, self-righteousness and pride? Do you also know that they are passing those sins off as a lifestyle saying “God makes allowances in modern times?” These same so called professing Christians are believing that “if you are sincerely seeking God in whatever way and find whatever god” the one and true God is okay with that. Again, just like in the days of Amos the prophet; some believers are asleep to their responsibility for the sins they are committing against God. What is really going on? I assert that the Bible is not being respected as THE WORD OF GOD. Strange beliefs are cropping up in the churches of today. The Bible is a history book that is reliable, authoritative, infallible, and effective for transforming our life into the image of Christ. In Prov. 30:5 “every Word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.” Three times in the Bible it says, “GOD CANNOT LIE” (Num.23:19; Titus 1:2; Heb.6:18). So I ask us…why would we not follow what the Word says? God controls everything even the pen of the writers of the Bible. What is the problem in accepting this? I again assert that it is a problem of authority. Some of us do not want to obey the headship. Most people want to “call the shots in their lives”. Why….. Because “it will make them feel good” and they have not completely submitted to the Lordship of Christ. You got saved… maybe… but it appears that a decision was made to stop there. What happened to the submission; the obedience??? I suggest that we quit digressing from the Word of God and begin to embrace the whole truth.
With the Love of Christ
