Monday: Has The Time Arrived?

They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

Good Morning, my dear brothers and sisters. It is Monday and the day we pray for our leaders and also our veterans and all those in our current military, also our police and firefighters, and all others who work hard to keep us safe and secure and healthy. I must be truthful with all of you, our president really bothers me, but regardless, we are to pray for our leaders. First I ask you pray for President Obama and his family, along with all of our leaders in Washington and in our state houses and local governments. Please pray first for their souls, for their salvation, for if a man (woman) loses his soul, they have nothing.

Monday: Has The Time Arrived? 1 Have you noticed over the last say 10-20 years how things have changed in religion and in churches? When I was a child (back when the streets were still dirt) our family attended the 29th street United Brethren Church in Harrisburg Pa. I went to Sunday School and also Vacation Bible School. I learned a lot about Jesus and about helping others. One of the things I remember first was being taught about loving God and loving our neighbors. The church's services had plenty of good music, mostly by piano, organ, and the church choirs. And yes, we even had those children's programs. But it was all related to God.

2 Timothy 3 - For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away for the truth and turn aside to myths. (NIV)

Now I know we always have had cults and some leaders who would try and lead others down the wrong path, but I don't ever remember them being so open. Church doctrines have changed so that they, well that they are politically correct. Some church doctrines have said it is now ok for open and active gays to be preaching, and some say that abortion is ok. My dear brothers and sisters, over the next few days I want to point out to you just how wrong some of these things are. Do you know that even as I am typing this babies are being taken from the womb of a mother and put in trash cans? It is called abortion, and now if the new medical programs go through, our tax dollars will be paying for them. AND I DO NOT WANT TO PAY TO HAVE A BABY MURDERED.

A lot of pastors are trying to preach a "feel good" type of message and that it is ok to do this or that, even if it is dead wrong according to the Bible. Folks, if you really want to "Feel Good" about your religion, TRYING FOLLOWING OUR LORD JESUS. Walk in His light, try not to sin, repent, and live by the truth. So please pray for me as I talk to Jesus about this series of messages this week, called "Has The Time Arrived?" Follow it from day to day and let's see what happens. I will tell you this, it will be from the Bible.

Dear Father in Heaven, please be with us all this week as we start a new study on this subject You have pointed out to me. Lord, I want to feel good with You, and in following You. That is the Good News we need to spread, about Your love and salvation. Lord, be with our President, and I pray today for his soul and for the souls of his family. Lord, and for all of our leaders, I pray that they will bring all things to You before they bring them to us. In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen.

Now go forth, following Jesus and if you want to feel good today, love on Jesus and share your blessings... what a way to start the week... love ya, dan.
