Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “Who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise, also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:” (Romans 1:25-31)
Wow! We are witnessing the attempt to change the “right” into “wrong,” and the “Truth” into a “Lie!” I have thought, and others have inquired to me, with the question of how can individuals that profess a relationship with Jesus be in favor of and promote those things which are in direct opposition to God’s Word. The answer is simple! Their commitment is either false or nonexistent! 2 Timothy 3:2-8 tells us this truth… “For men shall be lovers of their own selves, 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, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers’ lusts, ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.” Remember that there are those among us that have the appearance of godliness, yet they are far from the “Truth!” The reality is that there are those who are being used by Satan to thwart the cause of Christ and all we can do for them is to limit our time around them and PRAY that the HOLY SPIRIT will CONVICT them and cause them to turn from their wicked ways and to come to a “REAL” and “COMPLETE” SAVING EXPERIENCE through the GRACE OF GOD, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST!!! God WILL provide for our survival! God WILL protect us in our journey! It is up to us to remain faithful and to grow in our relationship with HIM! TO GOD BE THE GLORY! “I affirm that God’s power is rising in me, renewing, and healing my mind and body, bringing power to my mind, giving me success in my work. I affirm health, energy, enthusiasm, the joy of life. All of this I owe to my Savior, Jesus Christ. He has given me the VICTORY PRINCIPLE for which I thank HIM every single day!” “NOT TODAY, SATAN! NOT TODAY! Stay Strong, Stay Focused…THE BEST IS TRULY AND COMPLETELY YET TO BE!!!!
