LUKEWARM AND LOVING IT

….a government OF the people, BY the people, and FOR the people. That was the beginning of the Laodicean “church” in the USA, and although the quote belongs to Abraham Lincoln, it was nonetheless instituted by “founding fathers” who put the will of the people above the Will of God.

We elect leaders by the people’s choice. But when a culture does not know it’s right from the left they will most likely choose wrong. The dominating church in the last days (read now, TODAY) is Laodicean, which means “peoples opinions”, or “people‘s justice”. Of course, by definition then, that leaves God out. What happens when the church does not know what is true or right and insists on "its own interpretation" to take place? Well, you get what we got today! What disappoints me (besides myself) is that those who might, or in fact, KNOW the difference are having virtually no impact, that I can discern. The END will not be delayed.

WHO PAINTED THE LIGHTS

by Randy Amos

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil.     Isa. 5:20

To go through a green light is legal and safe. To go through a red light is illegal and destructive.  But what if an enemy painted the green light red and the red light green?  In one case you would move with legal confidence and no fear only to end up in wreckage. In the other you would not move thinking you were obeying but making no progress.

Man’s red paint over God’s green lights

God has given us many liberties and men have come along to take them away, making up rules that God never intended.  The Pharisees required all sorts of things that were not based on Scripture. They even attacked the Lord for healing on the Sabbath. We read where various brothers can freely participate in a church meeting, 1Cor. 14, but some restrict it to only the “clergy”.  We read how some seduced by demonic spirits forbid marriage and require abstaining from certain foods or meat of which God has given to us to freely enjoy in thanksgiving, 1Tim. 4. In many areas God says “go” and man says “no”.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES

. . .for the coming new year; if we make it that long. . .



Jesus said, “When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.' And in the morning, 'There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.' Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times? An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and a sign will not be given it, except the sign of Jonah.” And He left them and went away. Matt. 16:2-4
