Tuesday: Has The Time Arrived? 2

Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanders nor swindlers will inherit the Kingdom of God!!

Good Morning, my dear brothers and sisters, it is Tuesday and that means it is schools day on this line. Please as you pray for all schools, please pray for the Central Dauphin School District, for last night at a board meeting they sold their bus fleet to an out of state bus contractor. Now is the time to really be praying for our schools. Also pray for LeaAnne Crockett. LeaAnne works in the activities department at The Bridges and is a wonderful young lady. LeaAnne has gone back to school to get a degree in Elder Care to help her with her job. She is doing this on her own. I think it is wonderful when people go out on their own to get education to help them with their jobs. LeaAnne also filled in at the piano when Dolores has been off for knee surgery and she does this on her own time. God bless you LeaAnne.

Has The Time Arrived? 2. I touched on this a bit yesterday about how our churches have changed, but it is not just the churches, it is in the thinking of all those who go to church, but also those who don't. I think more and more people are trying to find a "shortcut to heaven". I think people really want to get into heaven, all people, for I never really talked to someone who really wanted to go to hell, and folks, there are but two choices we can make. And let me be right up front here, it is our choice, each one of us. God sent His Son to save this world (John 3: 17) but so many are turning from God or turning to God when it is convenient or under their terms and not God's.

Even some of the churches have been divided because of differences in the church. Folks, if your church is doing things that are not in the Bible, if they are going against God's word, may I make this suggestion... RUN, GET OUT OF THAT CHURCH. You know, I have told you over and over that we all need to be attending a GOOD church, but we need to know what that church stands for. If you are attending a church, find out what they believe, and not if you just feel good, in fact if the pastor is really preaching the word, all of it, you might find yourself thinking he is preaching to just you. Oh yes, I have sat in a church thinking is this preacher just preaching to me, what does he know about my background? Do you feel that way in church or does your pastor try and make everyone feel good? We now have pastors that say it is ok to be gay, and let me get this straight right up front, we need to love all people, just hate the sin. I just right now want to give you a scripture where these things come from and during the course of the week we will go over this scripture...

From 1 Corinthians 6: 9 - Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanders nor swindlers will inherit the Kingdom of God!! (NIV)

Now look at all those things that will keep you out of Heaven and that is just a start. But folks, as I stop for today I just want to point out that if you have been living in that life of sin, there is hope through Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 6: 11 - And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. (NIV)

Brothers and sisters, you know and have seen all that news about our President sitting in a church where the pastor even damned God. Brothers and sisters, do not sit in a church where the pastor is preaching hate against anyone, even the sinner... again I say we are to love our neighbors but we are to hate the sins. We are to be telling the good news. How can you sit in a service where the pastor or pastors preach what is not true according to the Bible? GET UP AND WALK OUT.

If you are in a church where those things are going on and you are putting your dollars in that collection plate, then you are indeed a part of that problem. Yes, remember when you give your hard earned dollars to a church and/or a charity you are indeed supporting their work, right or wrong, you are supporting it. Folks, when you are in church or even following this line, you check out what is being said... look up the scriptures that I am giving you and cross them over in your Bible. KNOW WHAT IS BEING SAID... CHECK IT OUT ON YOUR OWN...

Tomorrow more on this subject and who we should unite our body with... coming tomorrow.

Dear Father in Heaven, thanks for the message of today. Lord, we want to put our trust in You and look to You for guidance here on earth. We need You to help us sort out finding brothers and sisters to be with, to find a church to worship at, to find good followers of You to make as our friends, and we need to arm ourselves with Your help so that when we go into the fields of Harvest to work for you, we will not become the prey for the others to eat up. Lord help us, and Lord be in our schools, I pray today for LeaAnne and ask Your help for her as she studies to learn more about how to help our seniors, a group of people that she loves so much. Bless her Lord, and help her study. Lord, I pray for all of our schools and pray that those going will take You with them. The government might try and put You out, but we who follow You want You in our schools, so help us get You there. Lord, thanks again for the message and for keeping this line open... in the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

Now go forth, sharing your blessings and walking with Jesus, for if you truly walk with our Lord, He will be right there with you. It is hard some days but if WE, you and me, stay on point, we can make it... we really, really can and we can make a difference. "Live for Jesus, for He died for You".

Love ya, dan.
