THE POPULAR (COMPROMISED) CHURCH
THUS SAITH THE LORD:
“FOR CONSIDER HIM THAT ENDURED SUCH CONTRADICTION OF SINNERS AGAINST HIMSELF,” HEB. 12/3.
“THAT I MAY KNOW HIM AND THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION, AND THE FELLOWSHIP OF HIS SUFFERINGS, BEING
MADE CONFORMABLE UNTO HIS DEATH;” PHIL. 3/10.
“IF ANY MAN WILL COME
AFTER ME, LET HIM DENY HIMSELF, AND TAKE UP HIS CROSS, AND FOLLOW ME.” MATH.
16/24, MK. 8/34, LUKE 9/23.
Let`s examine a few things in light of the above scriptures:….To-day we are seeing more and more churches conducting services that look more like a scripted Hollywood or Broadway show, entertaining the congregations with bands, drama groups, singing items and preaching from men, and women that look exactly like Hollywood harlots and starlets, punctuated with advertisements for CDs, videos, tapes for X amount of dollars, back slapping and promoting one another and their merchandise, setting up coffee shops, just like the unrighteous mammon, with little or no prayer or, God forbid, the preaching of the Word, the Truth, as the audiences sit back in comfort and enjoy, not challenged, and not convicted, with the people leaving the building saying, “that was a lovely service reverend, doctor, pastor sorcery,” “what a lovely chap that pastor sorcery is.” “I think we might come back next week and listen to some more of his lies, (chaff)” as perhaps you, pastor sorcery endeavour to build a reputation, gain acceptance, recognition, acknowledgement, favour, respect, with the masses in the local community and beyond as you purvey an unthreatening, unchallenging, unconvicting message of a watered down lukewarm, (compromised) gospel, presenting to the people a God Head that doesn`t judge, loves them no matter what, wouldn`t hurt a fly, wants them to be rich, live lives that have absolutely no problems, easy street, as you deaden their senses and sear their consciences to the truth, so that you can be highly thought of, popular, liked, giving yourself as few headaches as possible, bludging, making life easy, AS YOU FOOL YOURSELF INTO THINKING THAT YOU ARE DOING GODS` BUSINESS:
DOES THAT LOAD OF ROT
SOUND LIKE YOU ARE “SUFFERING SUCH A CONTRADICTION OF SINNERS,” PARTAKING OF
“THE FELLOWSHIP OF HIS SUFFERINGS,” BEING “HATED OF ALL MEN FOR MY NAMES`
SAKE,” BEING “HATED OF ALL NATIONS FOR MY NAMES` SAKE,” “PERSECUTED FOR
RIGHTEOUSNESS` SAKE,” BEING “REVILED,” “SHAMED,” “REPROACHED,” “DESPISED,”
THOUGHT OF AS A “FOOL,” “DEFAMED,” “MADE AS THE FILTH OF THE WORLD,” “THE
OFFSCOURING OF ALL THINGS UNTO THIS DAY,” AS CHRIST WAS, BECAUSE IF YOU WERE
TRULY “TAKING UP YOUR CROSS DAILY AND FOLLOWING HIM,” IT SHOULD BE HAPPENING TO
YOU JUST AS IT DID TO CHRIST, PAUL, PETER, JOHN, JAMES, ETC. ETC. ETC…THEREBY YOU PARTAKING OF THE “FELLOWSHIP
OF HIS SUFFERINGS?”………. SOUNDS TO ME IT`S MORE LIKE……… RECEIVING “HONOUR ONE OF
ANOTHER,” JOHN5/44, “MEN SPEAKING WELL OF YOU,” LUKE 6/26, BEING A “FRIEND OF
THE WORLD,” JA. 4/4, “LOVING THE THINGS OF THIS WORLD,” 1 JOHN 2/15-16,
“LOOKING OUT FOR NUMBER ONE,” 2 TIM. 3/1-9, “WANTING TO RICH, FULL, LAUGHING,”
1 TIM. 6/9-10, LUKE 6/24, 6/25:
LOOKS TO ME THAT IT IS
MORE LIKE REV. 2/14-15, 2/19-20, 3/15-17:………IT WONT BE LONG BEFORE THESE
SPIRITUAL CONDITIONS DEGENERATE TO REV. 3/1,…IF SOME OF YOU HAVEN`T ALREADY…… AS
I KNOW YOU HAVE……..
Let`s look at some more:
Peter Hollingworth takes up a worldly position, considering the “honour that comes from men,” to be more esteemed and prized, than the “honour that cometh from God only:” And doing it under the pretence of being “A MAN OF GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” give me a break, you can`t be serious, surely:
Darren Beadman has a conversion, is washed, set free, delivered,……….then goes back into arguably the most corrupt, despicable industry this country has to offer,……… naming the name of Christ……trying to witness………you have got to be joking………
Jason Stevens, Mat Rogers, and others,… ditto,… and they go back into a lifestyle that Jesus set them free from!!! Playing sport, TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT LOVING FATHER IS DOING IN THIS COUNTRY RIGHT NOW WITH SPORTSMAN AND WOMEN AND SPORTING TEAMS,………HE IS UNCOVERING THEM,…. SHOWING THEM UP TO BE JUST WHO THEY REALLY ARE,….A BUNCH OF PROUD, ARROGANT, IDOLATROUS, FULL OF ALL SORTS OF LUSTS, FILTHY SINNERS, AS HE SHAMES, DEFAMES, EXPOSES AND REPROACHES THEM TO AN IDOLATROUS NATION THAT WORSHIPS SPORT, PUTTING PINS INTO ALL THOSE BUBBLES OF ILLUSION THAT THE POPULATION OF THIS COUNTRY HAS ABOUT THEM: PR. 14/34,
Guy Sebastian, supposed to be born again, going into a worldly,
IDOLATROUS, contest, winning fans, gaining popularity of THE UNSAVED MASSES,
PAGANS, basking in the limelight, lapping up the attention, all this while the
devil is laughing all the way to hell and back,…………….. AND HIS PASTOR SORCERY,
AND CHURCH, LAUD, APPLAUD HIS EFFORTS, EVEN SETTING UP A WHOLE SERVICE DEVOTED
TO WATCHING HIM PERFORM ON THE BIG SCREEN!!!! PLEASED AS PUNCH THAT HERE WE
HAVE A MEMBER WHO HAS THE ADMIRATION, LOVE, RESPECT OF SINNERS, A GREAT
ADVERTISEMENT FOR “OUR FAITH,”………. YOU
HAVE GOT TO BE JOKING!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT DOES THE SCRIPTURE
SAY?............................................. “BE YE NOT UNEQUALLY YOKED
TOGETHER WITH UNBELIEVERS: FOR WHAT FELLOWSHIP HATH RIGHTEOUSNESS WITH
UNRIGHTEOUSNESS? AND WHAT COMMUNION HATH LIGHT WITH DARKNESS? AND WHAT
2 COR. 6/14-16.
“WHEREFORE COME OUT FROM
AMONG THEM, AND BE YE SEPARATE, SAITH THE LORD, AND TOUCH NOT THE UNCLEAN
THING; AND I WILL RECEIVE YOU, AND WILL BE A FATHER UNTO YOU, AND YE SHALL BE
MY SONS AND DAUGHTERS, SAITH THE LORD ALMIGHTY.” 2 COR. 6/17-18.
ARE THESE “SUFFERING SUCH
A CONTRADICTION OF SINNERS?”…………………
ARE THESE “TAKING UP THEIR
CROSS AND DENYING SELF?”………OR ARE THEY FILLING THEIR BELLIES AS THEY COVET
FAME, FORTUNE, NOTORITY, THE ATTENTION
OF THE MASSES………….ALL WITH THE CHURCHES BLESSING!!!!!!!!!!
ARE THESE PARTAKING OF
“THE FELLOWSHIP OF HIS SUFFERINGS?”………..
ARE YOU PARTAKING OF “THE
FELLOWSHIP OF HIS SUFFERINGS,” “LOVING NOT YOUR OWN LIFE UNTO DEATH,”
“SUFFERING SUCH A CONTRADICTION OF SINNERS,” “TAKING UP YOUR CROSS DAILY AND
DENYING SELF???????????”
I KNOW MOST OF YOU ARE
NOT……………………………IF YOU WERE…..THEN THE SHEEP WOULD BE FOLLOWING YOUR
EXAMPLE………..AND WE WOULDN`T BE WITNESSING THE DISGRACEFUL, GOINGS ON THAT WE
ARE, THAT ONLY BRING SHAME, REPROACH AND BLASPHEMY TO THE MIGHTY NAME OF CHRIST
FROM THE ENEMIES OF THE LORD!
TRULY YOU FIT THE HOLY
WRITINGS OF PAUL, “THIS KNOW ALSO, THAT IN THE LAST DAYS PERILOUS TIMES SHALL
COME. FOR MEN SHALL BE……..LOVERS OF THEIR OWNSELVES,…COVETOUS,……. BOASTERS,……….PROUD,………..
BLASPHEMERS,……….DISOBEDIENT TO PARENTS…….. UNTHANKFUL………… UNHOLY,………. WITHOUT NATURAL
AFFECTION,……….TRUCEBREAKERS,……… FALSE ACCUSERS,……….INCONTINENT,………FIERCE,……… DESPISERS
OF THOSE THAT ARE GOOD…………. TRAITORS,…………. HEADY, ……….HIGHMINDED,………
………..LOVERS OF PLEASURES MORE THAN LOVERS OF GOD,………………………HAVING A FORM OF
GODLINESS,………… BUT DENYING THE POWER THEREOF:”
2 TIM. 3/1-5.
HOW MANY OF YOU NAME YOUR
WORK, “
“SUPPOSE YE THAT I AM COME
TO GIVE PEACE ON EARTH? I TELL YOU, NAY; BUT RATHER DIVISION: FOR FROM
HENCEFORTH THERE SHALL BE FIVE IN ONE HOUSE DIVIDED, THREE AGAINST TWO AND TWO
AGAINST THREE. THE FATHER SHALL BE DIVIDED AGAINST THE SON, AND THE SON AGAINST
THE FATHER; THE MOTHER AGAINST THE DAUGHTER, AND THE DAUGHTER AGAINST THE
MOTHER; THE MOTHER IN LAW AGAINST HER DAUGHTER IN LAW, AND THE DAUGHTER IN LAW
AGAINST HER MOTHER IN LAW.” LUKE 12/51-53.
“THINK NOT THAT I AM COME
TO SEND PEACE ON EARTH: I CAME NOT TO SEND PEACE, BUT A SWORD. FOR I AM COME TO
SET A MAN AT VARIANCE AGAINST HIS FATHER, AND THE DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER,
AND THE DAUGHTER IN LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER IN LAW. AND A MAN`S FOES SHALL BE
THEY OF HIS OWN HOUSEHOLD.” MATH. 10/34-36.
YEP, A CHURCH WITH A FORM
OF GODLINESS, WITHOUT POWER, PREACHING AN UNTHREATENING, UNCHALLENGING,
UNCONVICTING MESSAGE THAT DOESN`T MAKE ANYONE FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE, LEAST OF ALL
SINNERS GOING TO HELL, TRULY A PSEUDO RELIGION THAT`S ACCEPTABLE, TOLERABLE TO
THE WIDER COMMUNITY (SINNERS) AT LARGE,
KEEPING THE LORD AT A DISTANCE, “DON`T TREAD ON MY TURF, UNLESS I ASK YOU TOO,
BUT I EXPECT TO RECEIVE ALL YOUR BENEFITS WHEN THE TIME COMES,” AN EAR
TICKLING, FABLE PURVEYING, VAIN JANGLING, MULTI-MASS PLEASING CONCOCTION OF
TEPID HERESY, THAT SINNERS ARE ABLE TO HEAR, BEAR, TOLERATE, EVEN ACCEPT,
HAVING NO NEED TO FEAR OR SHOW PIETY TO, AS THEY WALK THROUGH THE DOORS ON
“SPECIAL OCCASIONS;” YEP………IT CERTAINLY IS “A CHURCH BY THE PEOPLE, OF THE
PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE”………………………… CERTAINLY
NOT, PECULIAR, CIRCUMSISED, SET APART, A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD:
