We've heard a lot about making America Great again, but what made America great was it's Christian faith and founding. It is God who blessed America and made it great, gave it strength, and made it grow and become the leader of the world in many areas.
Even the Communist Chinese admit that it was Americas Christianity that made America a great and powerful nation, but over the past 70 Years we have witnessed the moral and spiritual decline in our nation as society bought into the many tricks of the devil and our nation began to fall away from God and His Truth to embrace the latest craze.
With each new and upcoming generation, we have slid farther away from God, farther from his truth, and now we are reaping what we have sown as the next generation of Americans are 90% godless and embrace the principles of Socialism not the principles of God's Word. They largely reject Jesus Christ and Christianity and have mostly abandoned the Churches altogether.
Making matters worse the Churches have failed to confront society and evangelize each generation with the Gospel, therefore we have lost the biggest chance to make America great again by ignoring the lost on our own nation while funded professional missionaries overseas.
We are in fact reaping what we have sowed for the last 70-100 years and it is coming back to bite us square in the butt, as the godless generation takes control of the nation they will seek to rid society of Christianity in favor of a much different system of Government, and the fundamental change that Obama and the left have been talking about for several years now we come into being, unless the Church changes before it's too late.
American will only be great again if the Christian Church becomes great again. How do we, in fact, make the Church great again? The answer is simple and profound. Unless we as Christians start by allowing the Holy Spirit to make us broken over our own sin so we each fall upon our knees in confession and repentance, thereby allowing God to send revival to our hearts, to our Churches, and to this nation.
Have we "Christian" Church goers of America hardened our hearts to the point where the Holy Spirit can no longer penetrate them? Are we that unable to hear the voice to God beckoning us to return to him in fear and trembling that we might be softened by the sweetness of his love, grace, and mercy.
When we are able then to hear the voice of God once again we will again experience his power and his presence in our lives, and in our places of Worship. This would revolutionize the Churches of America and the Church would become great again, and America would become great again.

America is Laodicea All Over Again
The prosperity of the land had dulled their spiritual fervor and caused them to become lazy and more interested in the pursuit of pleasure rather than the pursuit of God. Because of this, they received a strong rebuke and were urged to repent of their wicked ways.
The Question remains did they repent and change their ways, or did they continue in error drowning in their prosperity and receiving judgement from the hand of God? Honestly, we do not really know what their response was, what we do know however is that they had fallen away from the grace they once knew because they sought the riches of this world and became nominal in their faith.
God says to them "I wish that you were either hot or cold". God would prefer people either to be on fire for him or ice cold and rejecting him altogether. God does not like it when people become lukewarm as the church in Laodicea did, in fact, God's says that he will vomit them out of his mouth. Lukewarm Christian and lukewarm Church make God nauseated, and it makes him want to puke!
The Church was essentially dead in Laodicea, it had become a spiritually lifeless and powerless group of people who cared nothing for the things of God. They had lost their passion for God and their love for him because of the vast wealth they were enjoying. These people were not true followers of Christ, they were not born-again. They had a degree of religion but it was dead religion, fake religion, they were 'Christians in name ONLY'.
Does any of this sound familiar? It should, because we in America are living in the same type of lukewarm that the Laodiceans were living in. We Americans have been blessed with an over abundance of material blessings and as a result we have also lost our passion for God, and our desire to chase after him, and carry his Gospel into the streets and win the lost to Christ.
The Church in Laodicea and the Church in American are essentially in the same boat, and that boat is sinking more every day. The Church is just like in that day is full of people who really don't believe and are not true Christians. The spiritual life has been sucked out of our lives by our desire for the things of this world, and as we pursue the things of this world we slow down and stop in our pursuit of God.
I think you get the point do you not? God is NAUSEATED by the Modern American Church!
God wants to vomit us out of his mouth, and then what?
There are only a handful of local assemblies that even preach the truth anymore! Only a few Pastors that dare to speak the truth because the truth is not a popular subject with most people in our culture today. There is NO spiritual power in most Churches because the people are more into the things of this world, than they are the things of God.
The prayer life of most professing Christians consists of a token prayer at the dinner table, or a learned prayer with the children at bedtime. There are few that truly pray with fervor in the Power of the Holy Spirit! Prayer is ridiculously powerful if we are truly following Christ and are pure in heart before him.
Fervent prayer would save this nation from self-destructing but not enough people care about praying, it's easier to go out and protest or be political because then we are the ones in control, but when we are walking in the Spirit of God and praying we can do far more and God is control, not us.
How many professing believers actually pick up the Word of God and spend some real time reading and meditating on it, hiding it in their heart where no one can take it away from them?
Judgement, however, is NOT coming, it's Here!
..and Judgement begins in the House of God, with the Church, we in fact are the Church, so God will judge us for our lazy lukewarmness long before he turns and judges the sinful lifestyles of unregenerated men. If we will not turn around now we will deserve every bit of judgement we get, and it will not be pretty, you can mark my words.
God is Holy and Righteous. He is Just and he is judging America for its wickedness, and the Spiritually Weak Christian Church is to blame for not being the salt and light in the American society that it was called to be. It's impossible for a people to remain passionate for God and for the Gospel when they are drowning in luxury, and addicted to being entertained all the time.
I think we need to simplify our lives and start putting the things of God back in first place where they belong. Making lots of money is never satisfying and it tends to draw one away from God. All of a sudden that boat or motorhome or that cottage becomes more of a stumbling block to our spiritual lives than it does anything else. Materialism has destroyed the spiritual life of America and it's people.
Nothing is more important that sharing the Gospel and bringing people into the Kingdom of God. It should take precedence over every other thing in our lives, even our jobs. Is it right to receive a paycheck from this world when you are ignoring the command of Christ to reach the lost and make disciples? We are to set our sites on things above not on things below.
You think this message is extreme and you think I am an idiot for preaching these things but when you stand before God to give an account of the life you have lived on this earth, I wonder if he will know you, or not? Because "many will come to him on that day saying Lord, Lord, and he will tell them I don't know you" These are people on the inside of the Church who were never truly saved and lived carnal worldly lives enjoying the pleasures of life instead of being focused on God, Christ, and the Gospel Message.
Every morning we ought to wake up with one thing on our mind. Who can I reach today with the hope of the Gospel? Whose life can I help change today? How can I spread salt and shine a light in this Hellbound culture we live in? Our entire focus day and night should be the things of God not the things of this world! The love and grace of God are what we ought to exuberate, or bleed each and every day. If we as believers lived like this we would change the world!
We need to stop hating and start loving. We need to stop taking each other to court and start showing mercy and extending forgiveness to each other in the body of Christ, not tearing each other apart, or spreading nastiness about fellow Christians in an attempt to destroy them. Those who do such things within our churches I seriously doubt are even saved to begin with.
It is time for major changes to occur where Christianity is concerned in America, otherwise, the Church is done for, and society will turn on us in ways you have not imagined yet. The overall message I am preaching here to the modern day Church is - Turn from your own sin and wickedness and make sure you are truly born-again by the Spirit of God. Fall down before our Holy Heavenly Father and be broken over your sin. Weep and mourn before the Lord, and cry out to him to send revival into our lives why there is still time because our time is running out.

Chinese Christianity vs American Christianity - Persecution and Passion
I just watched a video of Christians in China and how they gather is secret risking their lives in order to pray and worship Jesus Christ. They meet in caves, in homes, on farms out in the middle of nowhere, all because they love God so much that they want desperately to experience him. Clearly they put the 'Christians' in the west to shame, and we should be ashamed of ourselves because most of our Churches are dead as a corpse.
These people are being miraculously healed and deliver from disease and demonic spirits. The Holy Spirit is sweeping across the nation of China as thousands are coming to Christ and being saved. These people risk everything even their very own lives to come together while we in America move about freely taking for granted our liberty while our Chinese counterparts are restricted and must meet in secret.
The spiritual passion of these people is so real, they can't get enough of God. A four-hour sermon is a short one to them while in America 1 hour and we are tired and bored and want to go out to eat. The American Church is superficial at best. American Christians are Luke-warm, and Dead from the Ass Up! Don't get all legalistic on me over a certain word I just used either, a fact is a fact, GROW UP!
Again and Again, I have said that a large amount of people who fill the pews on Sunday are NOT even truly Born-again, have never truly repented of their sin. They may have prayed a prayer to accept Christ but lacked true repentance before God, or were the victims of modern day evangelism that paints a rosy picture of the Christian life, telling people that their lives will improve if they 'get saved', and that's a total lie from the pit of Hell itself.
Life does not get better in the sense that many claim. Life, in fact, gets harder once you are truly born-again. New Christians will lose friends, family members may turn on you, you may find that a lot of people you used to get along with no longer want anything to do with you. You may encounter some people who make fun of you or call you names because of your faith in Christ.
God does not want every believer to be wealthy and healthy, he is not going to transfer the wealth of evil men into the pockets of Christian men in the last days, that's complete hogwash! The American Church has given itself to many seducing spirits and has fallen far from what Christ called her be. Many Churches preach a false socialized Gospel that saves nobody, it only lends to their deadness.
People in China are dirt poor, hungry, and suffering while we continue to live in luxury compared to the rest of the world. Judgement begins in the House of God and judgement has come! Why do you think God allowed an evil man run this nation? A man named Obama who has done everything to bankrupt this nation and plunge it into poverty under the control of big government socialism?
Why is Donald Trump a New York Liberal with ties of Organized Crime to storm the Republican Party and probably win the Presidency in 2016? Why do you think so many so-called Evangelicals are supporting this man? Why is the Godly and Honest Christian Conservative being maligned, lied about, and not winning this election? Because the true Church of Jesus is a small remnant of believers and the bulk of so-called professing Christians are Christian's in Name ONLY!
We have not seen real persecution yet in this country, but I pray that it comes soon for the sake of the Church. I know this does not sound right to many of you, I mean who wants to be heavily persecuted for their faith right? Honestly, we need this to happen in America and Canada. Real Persecution will clean out the Churches of false converts, and those who are truly saved will stand out from the crowd.
Some may even lose their lives for Christ's sake, find themselves in jail, or prison for their faith and because they will not compromise what they believe. The Spirit of God will move and thousands may be brought into the Kingdom of God by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, just like in China. I pray this happens soon so that the True Church will be cleansed of apathetic luke-warm lost people.
Watch this video of believers in China. If this does not break your heart how these precious people come together in secret to pray and worship God, then I don't know what will break your heart of stone. Oh that the Church in the West would WAKE UP and start preaching the TRUTH even if it makes people really angry, so what! Let them get angry and offended and let them get the out of our Churches in they can't put up with sound doctrine anymore!
Watch this to learn to the Price Chinese Christians pay for their faith in Jesus Christ! How STRONG is your FAITH!

The Law of God and the Constitution - How America Can Be a Great Nation Again
The Constitution and the Bill or Rights are known as America's founding documents that guarantee us our liberty, and right to pursue happiness, and many people see this as a license for them to live however they want while justifying their wicked behavior. These documents were never intended to be used to justify evil of any kind, in fact, if the founding fathers could see this society now they would all drop dead all over again from the shock and horror of how we have perverted our liberty they fought so hard to obtain.
The US Constitution may be one of our founding documents but without the solid foundation of the Word of God, and God's Moral Law (The Ten Commandments), these documents lose all of their authority and become useless pieces of paper. I am sure the Devil and his Demons clearly understand this fact and this is why his minions have worked hard over the years to remove every vestige of the One True and Living God from public view.
Utter chaos has erupted in our streets as men are angry riot because of what they perceive as being unjust treatment under the laws of men. These people fail to comprehend the importance of self-control and the need for proper civil discourse. Our police are now the targets of violence making their jobs, even riskier than ever, as people no longer have respect for authority, nor do they respect the laws of the land. and some see themselves as even being above the law.
They slaughter each other in the streets then claim to care about black lives without a clue that the liberal policies they embrace are at fault for creating the mess they live in. The elite power brokers in our nation's capital, and sitting high up in many corporations manipulate the masses through deceptive propaganda for their own profit keeping people in poverty and against other people because of skin color, and such.
Romans chapter one makes it very clear that men have the inner knowledge of God and know deep inside that he exists but they refuse to acknowledge his existence, nor do they worship him as God. It states then that God has turned such individuals over to their own lusts and desires so that may self-destruct do to their own insane thinking. This describes our society so well today. People without God are literally insane and are on the path to eternal destruction.
America's days are numbered unless we turn things around now, and change our ways. No politician or political party or movement is going to fix things. It's up to we the people to change by changing the way we view our founding documents. The Constitution without God's Moral Law behind it giving it's authority. The Constitution has been amended many times since it's creation to reflect the changing times and bring our laws up to date, but Law of God that never changes and is not amendable, and the Word of God stands forever!
Some of you are already thumbing your noses at me for even bringing God into this but God was in it from the beginning and is still there whether we will acknowledge his presence or not. The Word of God and God's Moral Law what we formally know as the Ten Commandments is crucial to maintaining liberty and civility among the people.
The Moral Law of God also is the backbone of our system of laws starting with our founding documents, and if it is removed as the moral foundation upon which our nation was founded. The Constitution is not what men need to look to first for guidance but the Law of the Lord is the Moral Beacon for the people of this nation. Ungodly and Unregenerate men have brought this society down through endless assaults against God, His Holy Word, and His Moral Law.
Liberty and Freedom turn to chaos and anarchy without the Law of God providing a moral foundation and the Word of God as the spiritual foundation.
What happens to a building when the foundation is removed from under it? The building can no longer stand for its support is gone from beneath it, and it becomes a pile of rubble. This is what is happening right now to the Constitution as ungodly men are removing the last of the foundational supports from underneath these documents and the authority that once stood firm as a declaration of liberty falls to the ground in a heap of rubble, and our nation with it.
Where exactly has the Christian Church been while all of this was happening? Why is the outcry from the righteous? Why is there not more Holy Anger coming from those who profess to be followers of Christ? I believe the Christian Church in America has been reduced to being nothing but smoke and mirrors as Church people are more interested in prosperity more than God. The Church has grown progressive weak spiritually as they assumed the temperature of the world rather than setting the temperature for society.
The left used abortion on demand and evolution among others things to undermine the authority of the Church, and they used foolish preachers to spread their evil message for them. The socialists knew exactly what they were doing all the way to removing the Commandments of God for the walls of the school-house to removing it from the courthouse. The majority of professing Church-goers, I have a hard time even giving them the title of Christian, stand by and watch as the Devil wins another round against the people of God.
As a result of removing the foundation of the law that has underpinned our laws since their inception, we have seen a steady downward moral decline in America as each generation moves farther away from the founding principles that made this country great in the first place. Every year it seems more evil erupts in our streets as the blood of the innocent runs into the gutters leaving a great stain of what was once a great nation.
Without the God of the Bible, we are not a great nation. Our leaders are corrupt and nothing but a bunch of blind guides leading a nation full of spiritually blind people in the pit of Hell. America is morally bankrupt and no politician who is without the Lord will every be able to lead this nation away from its own self-destruction. We are being destroyed from within our own borders by ungodly men who think they are god as the bulk of God's people sit around talking about how awful things are.
If there in any hope of saving this nation it must be the preaching of the Law of God that converts the soul. The Word of God, the Fear of God, SIN, The judgment and wrath of God, The Truth concerning Hell, etc. These are the messages that again must echo from the pulpits of America! We need a new crop of Whitefield's, D.L. Moody's, Paris Readhead's, and other great preachers of old. We need this because we need revival and we need it now!
Often Church people have the appearance of Godliness but lack the Power of God, and so the Churches also lack the Power of God. God is not moving as he ought to be in most of our Churches today. The idolatry of professing Christians today is utterly unbelievable! We are like the Israelites when Moses came down from the mountain. We have fashioned many a golden calf and spend more time worshiping it that God, and, therefore, God refuses our sacrifices, and is sickened by our songs of praise and worship (see Amos 5).
Churches that don't preach repentance, and those that don't even preach the truth of God anymore in favor of a socialized gospel false gospel of man, produce nothing but false converts who are no better off than the junky lying in the gutter spiritually speaking, except they are cleaner and have religion.
"If the foundations be destroyed what shall the righteous do?"
If the Judeo-Christian foundation is fully destroyed as the Church sits by and watches in disbelief, there may be no resolution by which to save this nation. A total collapse will afford evil men their chance to remake America into the socialist paradise they have longed for, and worked for, for many years. Kiss you freedom goodbye and prepare to die!
The only remedy we have as Christians and as a nation is to return to the Lord our God. If God's people will humble themselves and turn from their wicked ways, turn to God and cry out of mercy I believe God will relent from sending his wrath upon this nation, and send revival and healing in it's placed. If not then prepare to pay a high price for your apathy and indifference because judgment is upon us even now as I write this warning to you all.
America can be a great nation again but it rides on the shoulders of those who profess to know Christ, and their willingness to radically change in order to see revival come, and the power of God come back to our Churches, and this nation.
God Save America!

Will it Take ISIS to Awaken the North American Church?
Get a Clue Church, Nap Time is OVER!
Pastors and Evangelists can stand behind the pulpit doing much the same thing and see the same basic response. Only a few will respond to their pleas to turn back to God and surrender their lives for the sake of the Gospel. Either the Church is that far gone, or most professing Christians are not really saved and do not have the Holy Spirit.
I know that when the truth is preached whether from behind the pulpit or in print, some people are going to be offended when confronted with the truth, and the idea that the majority of Church-Going so-called Christians may not be Born-again or Spirit-Filled. The Bible tells us that in the last days men will not put up with sound doctrine (accurate teachings), instead, they will follow their own desires, and surround themselves with false teachers who will tell them what they want to hear, not what they need to hear.
Many preachers there days no longer teach accurate Biblical doctrine, instead they preach fluffy warm sermons that make people feel good about themselves, or they preach outright heresy. Prosperity Preachers, and Positive Thinking Preachers are everywhere leading people astray with false teaching, and the sheep swallow it whole. The candy-coating tastes sweet in thier mouths, gets them all excited, and then they go out and live like demons.
We have all seen the videos of the horrible atrocities that ISIS/ISIL has committed against our brethern in other countries. It's easy to say to ourselves "That just happens over there, that could never happen here", and you couldn't be any more wrong because the enemy is already here, and the threat is real. We do not know when the enemy may enter the place we are dining with our family, our childrens school, or our Churches and start firing their guns as they shout "God is great" in thier native toungue.
Peace on Earth and Good Will Towards Men means absolutetly nothing to these people. They do not respect human life one bit, and do not care if you live or die, they rather make you die. They do not care how they kill you, you are infidels to them, they are all ordered in the Koran to murder you and I. They hate Christiainity the same way they hate Judism, and Israel. We are known to them as people of the book (Bible), and they consider the Bible to be tainted by Jews and Christians.
Our President Barack Obama wants to bring thousands more of these people into our country and give them free stuff with our tax-dollars without screening them at all. He will systemcatically disperse them all throughout the country, they may be moved into your town, and become a threat to you freedom and way of life. When Muslims reach a large enough percentage of the population they begin to demand everyone comply with their religious laws, and this is where the trouble will start when Americans tell them to go screw themselves.
All Hell is about to break loose here in America. None of us will be safe no matter what the Government does, or says. Our hope must be in Jesus the Christ alone, not in any politican or party, and certainly not in the Government. That's not even really the worst of it. We have already seen a Muslim behead a woman in Oklahoma only a while back because they would not covert to his religion. This could happen all across this nation and things might just get real ugly.
What if all of a sudden being a Christian in America suddenly became something that costs you something precious, like you own life. or the lives of freinds and loved ones? What if they came for your head? Any idea what would happen in the Church? All of sudden all of the luke warm Christians become red hot because now they are repenting of thier sin and revival is sweeping through our nation. Where there is danger and a huge cost for being a follower of Jesus, there are serious beleivers who take the faith seriously, and the rest just leave the Church.
There would be a cleansing of the body of Christ and it would not take long to happen. The sheep would be seperated by the goats in a hurry, and revival would break out which is what we need very badly in America. Oh how I wish the Church would get serious about God now instead of having to face this type of persecution, but chances are they won't because Satan has them blindsided by the things of this world to the point that they just don't care.
This could in fact happen before Christ calls his bride home, I don't know for sure that it will, but for the sake of the many who are decieved by mere religion and still need to know the Savior, I hope God does send some severe judgement for just a long enough to make the Church wake up!

Has the Christian Church Failed to Produce True Disciples?
People of the world often complain that the Church is full of hypocrites, they are right to some extent as many professing Christians don't seem to live up to their Christianity, as far as the world can see. The lost have a misconception of what Christianity is, they cannot tell the difference between people who are merely religious, and those who are truly born-again.
The world views liberal religion as being authentic as they frown on those who they see as being judgemental of sin, closed minded, and bigoted against other people groups. This article, however, is not going to focus on them, it is going to focus on those who profess to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
Barna Research found that fifty percent of the people filling the pews on Sunday morning may be actually unsaved, in other words, they are religiously lost, and if this is true it explains the malaise within our Evangelical and Protestant Churches. I have my own take on why the Church is in the shape it is in, and what can be done to fix it.
At the base of the issue is whether or not people actually have the Spirit of God living within them, or not. Is there true evidence of a changed life? Has their lifestyle and behavior changed? Their speech and way of thinking changed? If a person has truly been redeemed by the blood of Christ their core values will begin to change to reflect Christ's values. If there has not been a radical change in your way of life you might not belong to God after all.
No one who has truly received the free gift of eternal life and has been filled with the Spirit of God can continue to live a lifestyle of sin without some severe consequences. Because God will chase after them in an attempt to turn them back to him, and if they refuse to listen, God will let them have what they want, and they will destroy themselves with it.
The big issue that the Holy Spirit has been speaking to me about lately is the issue of dying to one's self. Jesus said that if anyone wants to be a true follower of his they must, in fact, deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow him. This is an essential part of being a true disciple of Jesus Christ. Jesus calls each one of us to die to ourselves, lay aside our own desires for the Kingdom of God so that we can be used by God for His Glory.
I have referred to this in the past as committing suicide in a spiritual sense. Actually it is when we surrender everything to God, accept his will over our own, and accept the outcome no matter what that may entail. We actually die when we repent and accept Christ as our Savior, at least the person that we once died and is buried with Christ, and a new person is raised to life in Christ, but that is not the same as when we fully surrender to the cross of our Lord.
God is not asking for us all to become martyrs is He? What we are talking about here entails us living in the Spirit instead of living in the flesh. It is possible for a believer to live and sow to their own flesh at least for a while until God has to step in and get their attention. It is possible to believe all the right things in your head about God but never believe it in your heart of hearts. I am afraid that there are many well-meaning people who profess to know Christ but do not actually have the relationship with God through Christ.
This is why I am confronting people through my writing, including myself, so that we might check ourselves according to God's Word to be sure that we are truly born-again, and not just fooling ourselves into thinking we are saved, and going to Heaven. It is possible to be deeply religious and miss the mark of what it means to be truly regenerated by the Holy Spirit and given the gift of eternal life found only through Christ Jesus, who is the only way to Heaven, and the only name by which a man can be saved.
The Church in North America today is a lot like the Church of Laodicea. Not hot, not cold, but lukewarm, and lacking the power of God, because it's members lack the power of God in their daily lives. CHRISTIAN! COME OUT OF YOUR LUKEWARM COMFORT ZONE! Christ did not call you to feather your nest with all the good things of this world, but to lay your life down for the sake of the Gospel.
Too many of us have one foot in Christ, and the other in this world, but we are not called to be of this world, in fact, we are aliens here on this planet, and our citizenship is in Heaven, not here on earth. With time as we know it drawing to a close, we ought to be seeking lost souls for the Kingdom of our God, not living to please ourselves.
Do you want to know how I know that the Church is in shambles today? Do you want to know why I believe that there are many religious people who are actually going to Hell, who think they are going to Heaven? I know some of you are already calling me a judgmental piece of crap, but you better spend time judging yourself to make sure you are truly saved.
Try inviting so-called Christians to a prayer meeting and see how many actually show up? Pastors preach the truth the people need to hear not what they want to hear and see who gets up walks out, or does not show up in your Church next week, not to mention all the nasty emails you will be getting during the week. Try getting some professing Christians to go out and share the Gospel with people in a public place, and how many show up?
Spiritual apathy in the American Church is a sure sign that there are many false converts in our Churches, and only a handful are passionate enough to put their faith into action and produce fruit in keeping with repentance. Maybe these few are the true remnant of the New Testament Church that Jesus started? It is very clear that we need full-blown spiritual revival in our Churches, and we need it now.
True disciples of Jesus stay under the authority of the local Church, and under their Pastor Shepherd, and are truly grace-filled followers of Jesus who will not turn on Church leadership, but uphold house who God has placed them under so they may be equipped for every good work as an outpouring of their faith in Christ. They do not attack their shepherd but are eager to be taught more of God's Word. True disciples desire the consume the meat of the Word, not just suck on the bottle full of milk.
They become spiritually mature and begin to minister to others. Instead of always being spoon fed from the pulpit every week, because they know now that it is not about them, but about Christ Jesus, they have died to self, and they live for the Kingdom of God. Spiritual maturity is the mark of a true disciple of Jesus, one who models themselves after Christ who laid himself aside for us so that we could be saved. We set ourselves aside so that others may be saved. for God desires for all men to repent and come to the knowledge of the truth.

The Great and Fearful Day of the Lord is Approaching
Joel 2:11 - "The LORD will shout in the presence of his forces because his encampment is very great; for powerful is he who carries out his message. Truly the Day of the LORD is great and very terrifying. Who will be able to survive it?"
Surely we are near the Great and Fearful Day of the Lord, the Judgement day that is foretold by the prophets of old when all men shall appear before the throne of the Almighty and the books opened, and each person will be judged for what they did while in living in their human body.
Christians are expecting this day to come, and praying for it to come quickly as this world is falling further into sin and evil, and mankind is growing more wicked by the day. While it's true that the believer who has repented and received by faith the free gift of God, eternal life in His Son Jesus will have already been judged in Heaven at the Bema Seat.
They are present on this day to witness the opening of the Book of Life, and those who names not found written in the book are thrown into the Lake of Fire right along with Satan and every one of his fallen angels (demons) (Rev. 20:15).
This will be a terrible day as for many who refused to listen and repent, and those who denied the existence of God no longer can doubt that he is. They are not standing, they are on their faces begging to be saved, but the day of Salvation has passed, only the wrath of God awaits them.
Many nice religious people who believed in God, may have attended Church on Sunday, May have done many good things in their lives yet they did not truly repent, they did not truly Call upon the Name of the Lord to be saved. Working men and woman, business people, those who were of the elite class in society.
Politicians, Bankers, Lawyers, Doctors, and even some Ministers. Homemakers, Blue-collar, White-Collar, every man, woman, boy, girl - their position in life does not matter anymore, for the Lambs Book of Life has been opened, and their names either appear in it or does not appear.
Their bodies have been changed into earthly bodies have been changed into bodies spiritual ones that do not die in the presence of God and do not die in Eternity either. Those who belong to the Lamb that has overcome. their bodies are celestial in nature, fit for Heaven. Those who are receiving judgment, they have new spiritual bodies also, ones that never get used to the torment, and will never die.
As for the Saved they are not under the wrath of God, they receive their reward commensurate with what they did or did not do in Jesus Name. The Scripture says's that ALL of our works will be revealed by fire to see what sort of work we have done, "and whosever work shall remain shall receive his reward from the Builder. And if any man's work is burned, he shall suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.(1 Cor. 3:10-15).
There are saved Christians that have done nothing or little for God in their lifetimes. What they have or have not done will be revealed, and only what they have done for Christ will be left, and their reward or lack thereof will be based upon that. The Bible tells us that the person that believes and confesses that Jesus Christ is Lord, he is saved from the coming wrath of God and is not under condemnation.
Yet this day will be fearful dear Christian, for we shall see with our new eyes the King of Glory, and behold him who we have placed our total trust in. He Jesus the Christ is our Reward! He is the one we have been waiting so long to see, and we shall spend eternity with him never to suffer again.
My Great Fear is that there are some even sitting in this place today who have not come to a place where they realize their need for a Savior, who have not truly turned from their sin, and trusted fully in Christ to save them. Yes, it is possible to be religious and still be lost, die, and find yourself in Hell! Do not fool yourselves. Sure you've heard the Gospel many times and have knowledge in your head concerning the Bible, the Cross, and yet you have not the knowledge in your heart of hearts.
All of us have broken the Law of God, All of us have lied at some point in our lives, or stolen something. We have used the Name of God inappropriately, in vain as a cuss word, or a by-word, and you know it's true. Most of us have lusted, looked at a woman and had sexual thoughts, some here may have gazed upon someone of the same gender just the same. Who in this room has never hated someone?
The truth is that each one of us is guilty every one of these things! None of us is immune to sin, ALL of us have broken the Law's of God including me. When we break the law we must endure the consequences of our actions, and with God it is the same way. Do you not expect to be held accountable by God for breaking His Laws?
Hear my Words!
Knowing and admitting that you have broken the Laws of God. and knowing and admitting that God will judge you accordingly, I must tell you the is you have not repented of your sin, your soul is in mortal danger of Eternal Fire, and that my friend should terrify you greatly! But there is some good news.
God sent Jesus to pay the price for yours and my lawbreaking! Jesus paid for it with his body and his blood on the Cross and God offers you a complete pardon, he wants to erase every hate crime that you committed against him by breaking His Law. A pardon that not only clears your criminal record before the High Court of Heaven, and set's you and I free from the penalty for your sin that we clearly deserve.
I implore you by the Mercy of God to Repent Today and receive your pardon from the Lord. The end is near us, time is short, do not wait a second longer.
