I'm not even wasting my precious time reading the rest. God's work call me elsewhere.!
This place is a Zoo! And a disgrace to our Lord Jesus The Christ. God and His Holy Spirit have Gone from this place, it is empty and cold, and void of the love of God, and certainly there is no Good news to be found here anywhere!
Egos, flesh and the traditions of man have taken over. All are just playing church! One podium higher than the other, and no one is Praising God any longer. He is not even remembered here any more! Oh sure He will probably show up again real soon in the mouth of one looking to satisfy himself, or to prove one of his own points, for his own gratification, or just as likely to use His most Holy word as a weapon against even a brother. Or someone displaying an abundance of love and niceness only to dismantle it at a later time when they feel the need to be right, outweighs their desire to be kind and loving!
And God said: Their mouths do praise me but their hearts are far from me!
Prov 11:9 9 An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.
Ps 92:1-15 1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: 2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, 3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound. 4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. 5 O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. 6 A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. 7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: 8 But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore. 9 For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. 10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. 11 Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me. 12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. 13 Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. 14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; 15 To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. |
