#Dosomething,#Change,#Tried

In Matthew chapter 24  the Lord lets us know the things that are going to take place as the world comes to an end.

It is a little disturbing when the Church is blamed or told it should be doing something due to the trouble and civil unrest that is going on.  But, the Church has tried, did try and continues to try.

The Church has been preaching Jesus Christ and Him crucified for centuries.  The Church has been crying out against sin  since the day of Pentecost!

The Church is not the blame for all that is going on evil in this world.  How many have been told they need Jesus?  How many have been told to repent and turn from the world?  How many have been told to change their way of living?  How many have been told how to live right and productive?  How many mothers, grandmother, fathers, grandfathers have prayed for their children and grandchildren?  How many children and grandchildren that have been raised in the ways of the Lord have turned their backs on the ways of the Lord and now paying the price?

Let's look at things from the perspective of the Church and not the world.  Proverbs chapter one verses 22-32 address things that are happening in society today.

"How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity?  and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?  Proverbs 1:22

"Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; when your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.  Then shall they call upon me, but I wll not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:  For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:"  Proverbs 1:24-29

Be not deceived, God is not mocked, for  whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap."  Galatians 6:7

#Run the Race Right,#Win,

Many start, but do not finish. Many once ran well, but now have allowed that which is contrary to scripture to run their lives. The scriptures bear this out in Galatians chapter three. "O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, " Galatians 3:1 "Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye n ow made perfect by the flesh?" Galatians 3:3 The Lord is calling the roll. Are you ready? Revelations 16:15  "Behold, I come as a thief.  Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame." steadfastapostolic.com

#Call Jesus,#Cry out,#Jesus, Deliverer

If you call Jesus right, he will hear you and come see about you.  Ask blind Bartimaeus. The scriptures says in St. Mark 10:46-52 that Jesus, His disciples and a great number of people were leaving Jericho.  Blind Bartimaeus heard that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.  Blind Bartimaeus could not see.  He did not know what Jesus looked like.  He only knew what he heard. Blind Bartimaeus began to cry out to Jesus, "Jesus, thou son of David have mercy on me".  When the people tried to stop him, he cried out the more so, "Thou son of David, have mercy on me".  He did no let people keep him from calling on the Lord.  He must have heard about the miracles, healing, deliverance that took place at the hand of the Lord. Jesus heard the cry of Blind Bartimaeus.  It was the sound of the cry that revealed to the Lord that Blind Bartimaeus was calling out in a blind state, but yet believing something would happen if he could get the attention of Je...

#A Lot of Singing,#Shouting,#Tongue Talking,#Playing

Music was one of the things that drew me to want to go to Church when I was not saved.   I use to love to hear and 'feel' the spirit of the songs.  Back then, the singers would sing unto the Lord.  They were not paid to sing.  They were not seeking recording contracts.  They would sing unto the Lord.  The would sing about the Lord.  So, when one went to hear the singers, your soul got touched whether you wanted it to or not. I can remember going to the Holiness Churches.  The praise was different too.  When the Saints praised God back then, it was real.  When the Saints did dance 'in the Spirit', it was real.  You could feel it.  There was always this 'presence' in the Holiness Church that I could not explain....then.  But that presence kind of held you captive, whether you wanted it o or not.  And, sometimes Church would go on for hours, but no one cared.  And, if one of the Saints said something to you that t...
