Deuteronomy 12:4 – 4 You must not worship the Lord your God in their way.
In the Old Testament God was telling the Jews that there was a right way to worship Him.
What?
I know that shouldn’t shock someone, but in the world we live in today and it’s getting to be so more every day, people think however I believe pleases God. Whatever, I think, or my personal preference is, God respects that and you should too.
So are God and Jesus into the respect of Man’s thinking?
Proverbs 14:12 – 12 There is a way which seems right to a man,
but in the end it leads to death.
John 14:6 – 6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
I would say that if one reads the Bible, God has a lot of expectations and absolutes. No wonder this generation doesn’t want to study or read it.
I’ve been preaching it for the last 3 years and it’s stronger today that yesterday. The only intolerance in the world today is intolerance.
The world says we must include and tolerate all ideas when it comes to spirituality.
Sounds like the major priming of a one world religion to me?
Revelation 17:4-6 – 4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. 5 The name written on her forehead was a mystery:
babylon the great
the mother of prostitutes
and of the abominations of the earth.
6 I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God’s holy people, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus.
When I saw her, I was greatly astonished.
It would appear that the Woman, which seems to represent something priestly by the description doesn’t have a liking for God’s holy people who will be giving testimony of Jesus.
The tolerant crowd today is not the tolerant crowd of God’s truth or His ways. We need to stand firm and continue to seek His truth.
Remember the majority does not make the right decision or God’s Word wouldn’t be correct.
Matthew 7:13-14- 13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
God’s not looking for an elite crowd, just those who love Him, seek Him, repent, accept His death in the place of theirs, and want to make Him Lord of their lives. By His Word only a few choose that. Be one of those few and try to reach others to be also, before our time runs out.
