How we wish to know the rest of that sentence.<\/p>\n
Or maybe we don’t want to know.<\/p>\n
One thing is certain—God is fixin’ to do something, and soon.<\/p>\n
He has already started, if we care to notice and discern.<\/p>\n
When someone is feeling seriously sick in their stomach, for various possible reasons, we may try to hold off the inevitable with various possible methods.<\/p>\n
And then, the inevitable has to happen to get rid of something the body can’t tolerate, and it isn’t pretty—for the sick person and for the persons close.<\/p>\n
It is interesting how often that scene is described like a volcano.<\/p>\n
Enough said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When God decides to judge a pagan nation, He does not get sick to his stomach or emotional, except for anger that is avenged by justice (and that is His department, not ours).<\/p>\n
But it is a different story when God has to deal with His people who claim His name, who have become wishy-washy and comfortable and complacent and lukewarm and compatible with the world.<\/p>\n
He tells us exactly what He will do, and it’s fixin’ to happen, and it ain’t gonna be pretty.<\/p>\n
Lukewarm, fence-sitting Christians make God vomit, so watch out.<\/p>\n
I can’t tell you exactly what is going to happen.<\/p>\n
But I can tell you what is making God sick:<\/p>\n
+Christians buying into the financial Babylon of affluent America<\/p>\n
+Christians laying up treasures on earth rather than in heaven<\/p>\n
+Christians blending in with the moral ambiguity around us<\/p>\n
+Christians not being salt and light that could turn America back in a Godly direction<\/p>\n
+Christians spending their energy, time, and resources on the comforts of this life, rather than sacrificing all for Jesus to help others.<\/p>\n
+Christians avoiding a lifestyle that brings persecution<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Watch what God is going to do.<\/p>\n
Seek Him desperately, now, because desperate times are near.<\/p>\n
“You will seek Me and find Me, when you search for me with all your heart.”<\/p>\n
“God is faithful. He will not allow you to be tempted or tested beyond what you can endure; but He will with the temptation make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
