John:
Thank you so much for this forum that allows us to rant
and rave. We are all doing the best that we can to
hang in there for just a little bit longer.
God bless you John for all of your time, diligence,
patience, discernment, and love!!!
Doves:
Some
may not agree with this analogy, but if we are totally
honest with ourselves – we deal with this EVERY DAY of
our lives.
MILQUETOAST
BELIEVERS
You ask
them if they’ll accompany you to church,
And they
can’t wait to get in the car,
Then
afterward they proceed to bet their savings,
On the
horse races down at Del Mar.
They hear
the sermon,
Their
emotions are stirred,
But when
they walk out those doors,
It’s as if
they hadn’t received a word.
They headed
“The Call”,
Down the
Alter they strode,
But at the
end of the service,
Jesus could
still find no room for abode.
I’m tired
of hearing their idleness of words,
Their
contrived enthusiasm means nothing to me,
Until they
ultimately believe in the sacrifice of Jesus,
They will
always be captives who are never set free.
We’ve all
met them,
They utter
their lame professions,
But their
hearts are never repentant,
And don’t
believe their half-hearted confessions.
They
encompass every faction of society,
We’re
outnumbered and surrounded,
And you
would be shocked at what they are really thinking,
They will
be lost as the Last Trumpet is sounded.
We’ve all
heard them say “I love the Lord”,
But that is
anything but true,
They are
blinded by their own self-lusts,
On the
“Highway-to-hell” without a clue.
Loving the
Lord is more than idle words,
It is a
heart-felt desire within,
The Holy
Spirit can only commune,
With a body
that is cleansed from its sin.
Jesus
cleanses us, Jesus saved us, and Jesus will rapture
us!! Words do not suffice – only a purity of
heart.
I’m
tired of the professing heathen who claim to believe in
Jesus, but never really give Him a thought. Jesus
has stated that He will spew them out of His
mouth. No matter how much they talk about
“righteous behavior”, their deeply-repressed sins
without acknowledging their Savior gives them away.
Jesus has never known them. They are after
their own interests, not the Will of God.
We
all know them, we have to deal with them, we have to
live with them, we have to work with them, but we don’t
have to be of them. We are only saved because of
Jesus, not because of ourselves. I guess that I
have taken a long time to say that IT IS HARD TO LIVE
AMONGST THEM!! Please Jesus, come and
take us out of this fake, contrived, deceitful
world.
Nuff
said. I look forward to meeting all you
true-believers very soon!!!!
Humbly
