WELCOME TO WHAT AMERICA HAS BECOME. I'VE BEEN GRIEVED, LOOKING FOR REAL ANSWERS, SEEKING THE FATHER'S HEART, AND FELT THAT GOD BROUGHT ME TO MATT. 11 THIS MORNING TO UNDERSTAND. IN TEARS, BY ALL APPEARANCE, THIS IS WHERE WE ARE AT, UNFORTUNATELY. WHAT WILL WE DO ABOUT IT? LETS BE HONEST, WHATEVER WE ARE DOING CURRENTLY, THE "REVIVALS," THE PROGRAMS, THE CHURCH SHOW, THE "POLITIC-ING," THE "SOCIAL JUSTICE," TRYING TO BE "RELEVANT" WITH MORAL RELATIVISM AND CALLING IT "LOVING," ETC... I T I S N O T WORKING. SORRY FOR "RAINING ON YOUR PARADE." I PLAY THE FLUTE FOR YOU, I'M SINGING A DIRGE... DO YOU HEAR ME NOW? Matt. 11:16-24 To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others: 17‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’ 18For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’ 19The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is vindicated by her actions.” 20Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles had been performed, because they did not repent. 21“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. 23And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. 24But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.” Indifference. Woe to the unrepentant. JUDGEMENT IS HERE, NOT COMING. WHAT IS THE JUDGEMENT YOU MAY ASK? GOD HAS GIVEN US OVER TO OURSELVES AND OUR OWN DEVICES! WE ARE FEASTING ON THE FRUIT OF THE REJECTION OF CHRIST... D E S P E R A T E L Y HOLDING ON TO BEING THE GOD OF OUR OWN LIVES." SUCH EMPTINESS, LIKE CHASING THE WINDS OF VANITY, YET STILL TRYING CONTROL THINGS BY POLITICAL AND RELIGIOUS MEANS. LET GO! WE NEED TO REPENT AND CRY OUT FOR A LIFESTYLE CHANGE! GOD DOESN'T CARE ABOUT OUR RHETORIC HE'S LOOKING FOR THE CHARACTER OF HIS SON FORMED IN US... STARTING WITH THE REALIZATION THAT THIS CULTURE ISN'T CONDUCIVE FOR THRIVING IN THE WAYS OF CHRIST, IT HAS BECOME ANTI-CHRIST. THE ONLY OPTION I SEE, WE NEED TO BECOME A HOLY (SET-APART) NATION (EKKLESIA) WITH OUR OWN ECONOMY MOTIVATED BY LOVE/CARE IN THE MIDST OF THE NATIONS. BEING EFFECTIVE SALT AND LIGHT AGAIN, INSTEAD OF "BEING TRAMPLED UNDERFOOT OF MEN." FATHER, WE REPENT OF EVERYTHING THAT IS UNCLEAN YET CALLED CLEAN. FORGIVE US FOR THE MIXTURE AND OUR FAITH BEING SUBORDINATE TO "BEING AMERICAN." WE REPENT OF "GOING ALONG TO GET ALONG." WE REPENT OF REPROBATION AND BLASPHEMY: CALLING EVIL GOOD AND GOOD EVIL. WE REPENT, WE GET OUT OF BED WITH THE SPIRIT OF THIS AGE THAT HAS CHOKED OUT GODLY LIFESTYLE. WE REPENT OF INDIFFERENCE AND FEAR. NOW, LORD, EMPOWER US BY YOUR SPIRIT TO LIVE THE REALITY OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD. AMEN.
