Watered Down Gospel for the sake of FUNDS

Jeremiah 23: 1-4 "Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of my pasture! declares the Lord. Therefore this is what the Lord, the God of Israel Says to the shepherds who tend my people: "Because you have scattered my flock and driven them away and have not bestowed care on them, I will bestow punishment on you for the evil you have done," declareds the Lord. "I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and will bring them back to their pasture, where they will be fruitful and increase in number. I will place shepherds over them who will then them, and they will no longer be afraid or terrified, nor will any be missing," declares the Lord.

 

WARNING***WARNING***IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED…LEAVE THIS SITE!!! THIS IS FOR TRUTH SEEKERS NOT EAR PLEASERS!!!

 (There are many good pastors…this blog is not talking about them.)

 

            The world is changing as we know it speedily before our very eyes. Right is being called wrong and wrong is being called right. Laws within our governmental institution are slapping God in the face each and every day. The ban on the things of God is taking center stage. Christians are being attacked every day across the world for standing up for their beliefs. There is an attack on the children of God like never before and YET…many within the church is SLEEP. Why is it that so many in the church within the U.S. are snoozing while others across the country are dying for what they believe in? Could it be that the SHEPHERDS are not sounding the alarm as they should? Could it be that so many pastors are more concerned with fame, fortune, and popularity than they are with warning their sheep that the end is soon to come? Is it that they are afraid to call the world into repentance for fear that if they say the wrong thing some may leave? Could it be that they have compromised the gospel because of the money they receive for preaching a “feel good” message?

            These are all questions that one may ask when you look at the state that the world is in. On any given day, you can turn the television on and watch hundreds of preachers from across the world preaching what they call the “Gospel” of God. However, many of them are preaching a message of prosperity and riches more than repentance, deliverance, and the call to Salvation. Many desire to be partners with celebrities rather than winning them to Christ. Many preachers are preaching successful messages of opening pocketbooks more than they are of giving your life as a sacrifice to God. Their message has become that of feeling good, shouting, and having a good time rather than getting your life right with God, confessing your sins, and spreading the unadulterated truth about Jesus’ saving power. In order to not offend, they avoid certain books of the bible. In order to keep the money rolling in, they do not teach on sin, but rather "once saved, always saved," which is one of the biggest LIES told to the church today.  

2 Peter 2:21-22 says, “It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,” and, “A sow that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud.” (NIV) Therefore, if you once followed Jesus and then turned your back on Him, it would have been better if you never knew. Why did it say this in the Bible? To let us know that you don’t have a ticket punched in heaven just because you “used” to be a Christian. It is an ongoing and continuous process. You can’t once be a Christian and then decide to be a Satanist, but still consider yourself going to Heaven based on what you formerly did. It doesn’t work that way. Don’t let anyone tell you differently.

            So why is it that many preachers do not preach on hell and end times, but they always talk about being caught up in the rapture? This is COWARD theology!!! There are people EVERY DAY dying for their religion in other countries. Why do the preachers in the U.S. think that WE will not experience persecution? They teach that we will immediately be sent off to Glory before anything will have a chance to come near us. However, does God have respect of persons? Absolutely not! The apostles were martyred, Christians were killed centuries ago, Christians are still being persecuted and killed now for practicing their religion in many Islamic controlled countries, but somehow, many of us in the U. S. think that we are going to be exempt from and will be caught up without going through anything. I think not! However, once again, many preachers are not teaching about the end of times and would rather focus on luxury churches, cathedral buildings, rock concerts, and the who’s who club of fine dining.

             The church is being run more like a business than a house of worship. Celebrities get front row seating, money is being taken up like you’re at an auction house, and the preacher, forget having access to him/her. They are now armed with bodyguards behind the fancy title of Armor Bearer. Yes! I went there! Now, this is not to say that pastors do not need assistance. However, if your Armor Bearer is there just to keep the average layperson or member in your congregation away from you, something is indeed wrong. You have gotten too high for your own good and have indeed forgot that your ministry is being a humble servant to the people. Some pastors are only good for preaching, but they do not have the heart of a servant. They are more for title and looks than humility and service.

            Why is it that you very seldom if at all hear a sermon coming from Revelation about Christ return and hell fire? Well, many seem to think that telling people that they will go to hell, if they do not turn their lives to Christ, will rub many the wrong way. Okay! Who cares if it saves their soul!!! Many preachers are going to split Hell WIDE OPEN because they failed to preach the truth. There are many preachers who are not teachers of the light, but are imps for the devil. They only preach what they think people want to hear. On top of that, they lead people to believe that to sound the alarm, and let others know about sin is considered as judging. However, we are held accountable when we do not sound the alarm. We are held accountable when we do not call sin by its name. We will be held accountable for those who go to hell because of our SILENCE and FEAR of what some consider as "JUDGING."

Proverbs 12:1 says, "Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid. (NIV) So how can you help and teach someone if you don't tell them where they are erring at? Judging is when you are just pointing fingers to condemn and not help the individual. It is also when you are living a hypocritical life yourself while trying to straighten someone else's. ACCOUNTIBILITY  and SOUNDING THE ALARM is an effort to save SOULS. Call it what you may, but more pastors need to stop worrying about popularity and more about the sinners' salvation because their soul IS AT STAKE!!!! Stop faking and become the real minister of the gospel you were called to be.

2 Corinthians 11:13-15 for such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserved. (NIV) Yes, the devil has many preachers pretending to be used by God, but they are actually in league with the devil. See, Satan doesn’t mind you going to church if he knows that he has connections with the leader. Many are being deceived based upon being in a Mega COVERUP! Many church members think because they go to a well-known church that they are under the anointing of God, but oh be so ever careful. The road to hell is WIDE. Don’t let the size of the church, the name of the pastor, and the materials of the structure fool you. There will be Pastors corroding in the fires of hell.

            Many pastors are failing to teach people that their lifestyles are wrong. They are afraid to stir the pot. They do not speak out against sin. Not only do they not speak out against it, but they tolerate it! Now, this is not to say that you have to beat people upside the head with the Bible because you are to do everything in LOVE. However, it is the responsibility of the leader to help people to know where they are erring at and to help lead them to Christ. Unfortunately, if you are Star Struck, have a Mega agenda to become famous, and care more for keeping the money flow than the soul flow…there is a problem. People talk about the “Preachers of LA” tv show and yes, it is a disgrace. However, there are many preachers who aren’t any better than the ones who are on this show. The only difference is that they are doing it behind the scenes.

            What do I mean? Okay! Let’s break it down. The preachers of L A are showing off their wealth in front of a national audience, while many mega preachers are doing the same thing with their houses, private jets, fancy cars, expensive clothes, jewelry, etc. The only difference is one has made it to reality to TV and the other just call it CHURCH. The preachers of L A are showing their indiscretions with women and various relationships, while many mega preachers and priests have been found out as they tried to hide it from the public. The preachers of L A are openly showing you that they do not stand for what’s right, while many mega preachers become silent when asked direct questions from news commentators about what the Bible clearly says, such as their stance on homosexuality. The preachers of L A have come under attack for some of them “shacking up” with their romantic interest, while some of the other mega preachers are “shacking up” with Satan. The preachers of L A have come under attack with regards to open display of what many consider as “inappropriate touching” with their wives on tv, while many mega preachers are inappropriately giving too many “feel good” messages to keep “in touch” with wallets and pocketbooks. Shall I go on?

            Matthew 24:14, 24 says, “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. ⁽²⁴⁾ For false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.” (NIV) God is waiting for the whole world to receive the message of the kingdom. However, Jesus said that false prophets will deceive many. You may ask, “How is it that they are going to be able to deceive many?” Well, if you think about it, you are quite aware of the obvious when it comes to looking like a fake. However, the devil knows who to use and how to use them to get his agenda accomplished. False prophets, often times are not those who we may be already suspicious of. It is the ones whom many feel are on their way to heaven by celebratory gospel, good tone tactics, ability to make you shout, and other things that has nothing to do with God. Be careful about the shepherd that you follow. It may be quite possible that your shepherd is on the Highway to Hell.
