Do you have a Bible in your possession? Do you open the pages or are they still crisp as the day you got it? Do you only own a family Bible out of respect of family history? Have you memorized scriptures and used them in the battle of good and evil in your heart daily?
Are you a God fearing, God loving, God worshipping Christian? Or are you a Christian Atheist?
Do you contort scriptures {scriptures you’ve never even read} to appease your appetite?
But Oprah said…
I went to church when I was a kid…
I know God’s heart…
Your being deceived. And you’re the one doing the deceiving. You can’t blame social media and you can’t blame the church. You own a Bible, open it. Don’t be like the sheep that just follow the others.
“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many.” Matthew 7:13
The path to life is not an easy one to walk. You are constantly having to hold your thoughts up to scripture to know how the Lord wants you to go. You are constantly being attacked by non-believers {false believers} because you don’t dance the same way they do.
Here’s the difference: False believers will tell you that they are right. That you need to follow and obey them. True believers will tell you that Christ is all. And that we need to follow and obey Him.
I’ve said for years, I don’t have a problem with atheists. I can carry on long conversations and not get frustrated. And we can part ways knowing we both disagree. They know I’ll be praying for them on my own despite the fact they ask me not to.
But christian atheists? False believers? Wolves in sheeps clothing? Nothing angers me more. They lead people straight toward Hell and they don’t even care. But hey, at least they had fun while doing it, right?
And yes, we will all be held accountable. So everybody should be aware of their words and their actions. Don’t be so flippant. Know what truth and what lies you’re standing on.
How secure are you in where you’re going to go when you die? If you believe you’re going to Heaven, why? Do you even believe there is a Hell? And if you’re not going there then who is? Are you the judge that determines where people are going to go? Are you all grace and no judging or all judging and no grace?
OPEN HIS BOOK
If you don’t like what God teaches then release yourself from the pressure of having to wear a false face in front of everybody. Admit that you don’t know what you believe and that you may or may not be willing to learn His truth.
Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him. Psalm 26:12
But if you are desiring to learn about Him then seek out a true Christian who isn’t afraid to tell you the truth, even if it may hurt you. Eternity may be far more painful.
