LOVERS OF PLEASURES

 

THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD:

 

“THIS KNOW ALSO, THAT IN THE LAST DAYS PERILOUS TIMES SHALL COME. FOR MEN SHALL BE………………..LOVERS OF PLEASURES MORE THAN LOVERS OF GOD;” 2 TIM. 3/1-5. (note verse 5 “having a form of Godliness but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. Paul is talking about religious hypocrites here)

 

The other day as I watched the supposed, pretend ‘Christian’ channel on fox,………I see a program wholly devoted too,……….wait for it,………..here it comes,……………….

HOLIDAY DESTINATIONS, VACATIONS, AND ALL THAT THEY REPRESENT:

FISHING, MOOOOOOOOOVIES, RESTAURANTS, BEACHES, SUN, SURF, RELAXATION ETC. ETC. ETC.  A PROGRAM PROMOTING,… PLEASURES……

 

IS THIS RIGHT?....... SURELY THIS IS A GROSS INSULT TO THE ONE WHO BRINGS PEACE TO OUR SOULS: EPH. 2/14-15, COL 1/20, ACTS 10/36.

 

SURELY THIS IS A GROSS INSULT TO THE ONE WHO CAN GIVE US,…………

 

“REST UNTO OUR SOULS” MATH. 11/28……………………………………………

 

WE ALSO SEE ON THE SAME CHANNEL,………..MOOOOOOOVIES:……………

AND,………………AGAIN,…………………..WAIT FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A MOOOOOOOVIE CRITIC,………..ADVISING WHAT MOOOOOOOOOOOVIES

TO GO AND SEE,……………………….AND,…………………AGAIN,…………….

HERE IT COMES,……………………………………………………………………….

 

LOOKING INTO THE THEMES AND PLOTS OF SAME, SAYING THAT THEY PROJECT GODLY TRUTHS, RIGHTEOUSNESS, “PRINCIPLES OF THE KINGDOM”, FORMULATING, THEORISING, MAKING UP HIS OWN RELIGIOUS SPIN ON THESE ABOMINATIONS OUT OF HOLLYWOOD TO PROMOTE THESE, MOOOOOOVIES: (He should get paid a retainer by the industry,……..MAYBE HE ALREADY DOES EH?)

 

IS THIS RIGHT????SHOULD THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST BE PROMOTING

THE PLEASURES OF THIS WORLD AND LIFE TO CONGREGATIONS??????????

 

THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD:

 

“LOVE NOT THE WORLD, NEITHER THE THINGS THAT ARE IN THE WORLD. IF ANY MAN LOVE THE WORLD, THE LOVE OF THE FATHER IS NOT IN HIM. FOR ALL THAT IS IN THE WORLD, THE LUST OF THE FLESH, AND THE LUST OF THE EYES, AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE, IS NOT OF THE FATHER, BUT IS OF THE WORLD.” 1 JOHN 2/15-16.

 

BALI

 

2 TIM. 3/4. “LOVERS OF PLEASURES MORE THAN LOVERS OF GOD”.

 

 

The island of Bali, but what does it mean?

A holiday destination but for most unseen;

It promises fun, relaxation and more,

Alluring advertising so please come to our shores;

 

 

There`s food and laughter, more than one could take,

And drink a plenty, a great occasion we`ll make;

Drink and be merry and forget all your woes,

You`ve earned this holiday, they`ll be no foes;

 

 

We`ve golden sands upon which you can walk,

And tourist attractions for yourselves as you talk;

And shopping galore do those cards get a hiding?

Perhaps frenzied shopping, are the banks you obliging?

 

 

You`ve worked hard all year, you`ve earned all this rest,

At this island destination, you chose the best;

But underneath all this glitz and glamour,

Or is it that you`re attracted to all this clamour;

 

 

But someone can offer you that perfect rest,

A holiday destination that is the world`s best;

You don`t have to stand in a line to be served,

All you need is a little courage and nerve;

 

 

You`ll be fed daily, you`ll be happy to boot,

And there`ll be drink a plenty, it will cost you no loot;

Forgetting your problems, He won`t be your foe,

And slowly and surely you`ll forget all your woes;

 

 

Your house will be built upon the Rock,

Unlike the sands that you`re treading, your past slowly forgot;

You won`t need those expeditions in haste,

With the wine that you`re drinking a new life He will make;

 

You don`t have to save to be in perfect rest,

Waiting once a year to holiday with the best;

You won`t need all that glitz and glamour,

He`ll be what you`re searching for, eternal peace, not clamour;

 

 

You won`t be worshipping the golden calf of fraud,

But be in His presence, a new life you`ll applaud;

So be courageous, fearless and bold,

With outstretched arms as your heart beforehand told;

 

 

Huh, first we had “love of money” promoted, (1 Tim. 6/9-10), then women pastors, (1 Tim. 2/11-15, 1 Cor. 14/34-35), then the blab and grab positive confession witchcraft routine, then merchandising, selling books, tapes, videos, CDs etc., carrying on business, coffee shops, (John 2/16), then “don`t worry about your sin you are under grace”, (Ro. 6/1-2), then rock rhythm and beat, (Ez. 28/13), then dimmed lighting, smoke and mirrors, night club/cabaret/mosh pit atmosphere, (John 3/19-20), then alcohol is OK, (Pro. 20/1),..

Now mooooovies and a life of ease and comfort for the flesh: (1 John 2/15-16): What are you going to ratify next gents, BROTHELS, GAMBLING, STEALING, ADULTERY!!!!

NO WONDER YOU ARE BEREFT OF POWER! (2 TIM. 3/5). IT REMINDS ME OF THE WORDS OF A SIMON AND GARFUNKEL SONG: “SLIP SLIDING AWAY, SLIP SLIDING AWAY, THE NEARER YOUR DESTINATION THE MORE YOU`RE SLIP SLIDING AWAY”. (HOS. 11/7), (2 PET. 2/1-3), (JUDE).

 

NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, PENTECOSTALS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE LEADERSHIP HAVE BEEN SEDUCED INTO A PERVERSION OF THE TRUTH:

 

INSTEAD OF SOUND DOCTRINE THAT PLEASES GOD,……. YOU NOW HAVE A FALSE DOCTRINE OF PLEASING SELF, SELF PLACATION, SELF ELEVATION, SELF INDULGENCE, SELF, SELF, SELF, IN PLACE OF SELF DENIAL, DEATH TO SELF, SELFISHNESS IN PLACE OF SELFLESSNESS.

 

John 14/6. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me”. John 3/5. “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God”.Ro. 10/13. “For whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved”.
