The thing that is constantly bring impressed upon my spirit is that the bible the word of God is a sword to cut to and discern the intent of the heart.  God says fear is the beginning of wisdom and He will show His covenant to those who fear Him in Godly reverence.

Modern Christianity stresses all the positives the feel good your saved aspects without the fire and brimstone aspects of ignoring Gods plan of salvation. But as Tozer said you have to preach the law to understand grace.

I think that in two thousand years leavan has spoiled the bread. Whether its replacement theology, support for Palastine, insert worldly doctrine here or fear of turning away itching ears or making anyone except those people that take the word literally feel bad we have had a couple generations of Christians not understand grace.

Grace was Gods way since we are weak in the flesh to fulfill the law we are to repent seek God come out of the world and abide by His word through His Son follow in Jesus path as He is the Shepard to go to Heaven.

But to walk this walk we have to have a reason because God says come out from among them seperate unto holiness this is blasted as doctrine yet go right to the bible it's literal God fore not want us to play footsie with the word and say Jesus.

We are in the world we are to love God and others as ourselves we are not to love the worlds ways but seek Gods words to abide in Him.

God is seeking to cut out by His sword the word a peculiar  people purified by His word and Spirit and Jesus Blood seperate from the world.

Literally the good news is you are dead in your sins dying without hope but if you will believe my Son and that He died for you and was raised from the dead as proof He is the Christ that believing on Him ie a constant following looking for praying to and picking up our cross laying down our vanity in this world becoming as sheep following His leading by grace doing all things through Him and capturing every thought to Him we are walking the walk.

God calls He justifies He redeems but we need to ask Him to then step back and let Him lead us.

The Lacadonian church us identified as a Christian church. It's just one that prides in its buildings, its works, its worship yet walks like the world. Sound familiar?

God I am wretched poor blind and worthless without your Son Jesus. Call Him to get eyesalve, to read His word and see. Call Him for gold tried in the fire for a white robe. Glory in Jesus humble yourself and He will lift you up.
