What is God\u2019s response to disrespect?<\/p>\n
Truth is, God demands much more than respect.<\/p>\n
God requires total worship, and He will get it from everyone.<\/p>\n
For a time now, it seems people get away with disrespect for God.<\/p>\n
But, \u201cBe not deceived; God is not mocked . . . \u201c<\/p>\n
God is the one and only, all or nothing, sovereign of the universe, which includes us.<\/p>\n
None of us will get away with anything disrespectful before Him.<\/p>\n
To God, every hint or expression of disrespect equals blasphemy.<\/p>\n
It may not be popular to say this, but He also equates ignoring Him with blasphemy.<\/p>\n
If God is not supreme Lord in our individual lives, then someone else is.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is like church.\u00a0 We thank god, and our lord and savior Barack Obama – – – B a r a c k\u00a0\u00a0 O b a m a,\u201d and hundreds in the audience gave thunderous, approving applause.\u00a0 (reminded me of the overwhelming voice vote against putting God back in the Democrat Party platform)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There are cases in the Bible where a king accepted or required god-worship of himself, and rapid response from the true God took him out or taught him a lesson.<\/p>\n
The \u201cpresident\u201d of the United States will fare no better, as he receives this worship reserved for God alone.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For all of us, remember this:<\/p>\n
+++Worship God, or be judged;<\/p>\n
+++Worship God, or be destroyed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
