I've been re-reading author Hal Lindseys The Late Great Planet Earth I had told my wife that I wanted another copy of it. My wife bought it for me for Christmas, she is a blessing it was hard to find, she had to contact Hal Lindsey's ministries to obtain it. I read it in the early seventies and was a believer then. In reading it again I can see where the things he saw happening have been happening. Now I know some people will be turned away from this because of who Hal Lindsey is. While I do not agree with the man politically, I believe him to be a True Christian whose insights into the world and the way things are coming about are backed by the Biblical Prophecies he quotes and illuminates on.
We are seeing a world where the "churches" are not professing the True Jesus Christ, but are resorting to "religious legalism" and political savagery to bring people into line with their worldly beliefs couched as being based upon The Holy Bible. We are seeing the New World Order being extolled by politicians as something that is needed. We are seeing governments being controlled by corporations and countries destroyed by the power wielded by so few. We are having rants by both sides about homosexuality while the people are looked upon as objects in a power struggle by both sides. We are witnessing the fall of America as people prefer material wealth and luxuries to the well being of their fellow man. Outsourcing our work so that corporations make better profits, and becoming dependant upon other nations for our manufactured goods. We are seeing a continual degradation of personal freedoms and beliefs so that the cause of the mighty-the wealthy- may be thrust forward and profits shall reign.
Mr. Lindsey also speaks of the falling away of the leadership within the churches and the charlatans that fill the positions of leaders. He also says that there may be true believers in Christ within the congregations that are angry and dismayed about the lies being issued forth as the Way of Christ. The apostacy of the churhes is evident to those who know Christ and what He teaches, yet many follow along not saying anything defending the pastors or those in the church who are not following Christ and are therefore leading away from Christ.
How many do we see on the news, in the media, or behind the pulpit, that proclaim we must make the world right for God ?? How many of them know the Truth that only God can make the world right, for He is Holy and we are His Creation ?? Apparently not enough or their message would be rejected and buried with their self serving lies.
How many pastors are involved with politics not for the good of God but for the gain of wealth and power they derive from the political leaders they back ?? How many liars are propped up on television as being the ministers of God saying that God wants your money because only then can you be saved ?? How many supposed "good" church attending people see people starving and say it is the peoples own fault for not working hard enough, while they themselves collect on work done by others whom are paid little ?? How many make a show of donating much in church, and then take it off their taxes so the government is actually the one donating to their organization ?? How many do good works to be seen, and as soon as the cameras are gone they resort back to who they really serve ??
Christmas is just a few days past, but already I see the ugliness of the world grabbing peoples hearts again. I'm not for welfare for the lazy, nor am I for religion being the answer. I'm for people opening their hearts and minds to the message of The Holy Bible. The message is not one of hatred and destruction, those messages are contained because we are Loved by God and any Father does not want to see those who come from Him ro be destroyed by their own behaviors. He tells us what becomes of us if we choose not to heed His Way. Then He sends us His Son to die for our sins so we can have The Way to Him through His Son Jesus Christ. That doesn't sound like hatred and destruction to me. We are still given the choice, we can refuse Him and choose to deny The Way of Life He gives us. But that is us choosing not to serve Him, not Him rejecting us.
I choose Him and The Way of Life Jesus Christ. I don't choose wealth, power, religion, politics, drugs, alcohol, sex, self esteem or anything above Him. That does not mean that I'm able to turn from those things on my own, it means I gave my life to Him and He has changed me to where those things are part of my life as they are needed to live but not the focus of life or the goal of my life.
I want to share this because I do not know how much longer I will be able to share it, and to me His Love and salvation are worth more than all the world and it's treasures.
As always your comments are welcome. Just do not attack each other, we may disagree but we should still be able to communicate.
With His Love and Peace God Bless you.
