Congregants’ Loyalty?

A congregant can be very loyal to his/her pastor and church while being very disloyal to God. He/she can spend hours listening to their pastor speak while zero time is devoted to listening for the Lord’s voice. They can ask for their pastor’s counsel or advice but in prayer they obnoxiously demand that God do things their way.

Do they think that God doesn’t see where their loyalties are? Could God be so blind as to not see the motives of their heart? Could God choose to ignore them the way that they ignore God?

If you’re one who plays the country club religion game, what should you expect from God? Should He help you through the hard times or present them to you?

If you’re spending time celebrating your church, shouldn’t you be sure that you’re not complicit with false teaching? Should God ignore that you give them the glory meant for Him? Do you know your church better than you know God?

Recently, a woman jumped right away to defend her pastor (and his false doctrine) without first seeking God. She had more loyalty to her pastor than she did to God. Those aren’t my sentiments. Those are God’s words to me. So, what should God do when He sees that response? Does someone need to be dethroned in her life so that she gives God the rightful place of authority? And btw: those man-made certificates and degrees mean absolutely zero to God when false doctrine is being taught.

God sees what is in your heart about how you treat His prophets too. He’s not as blind as you think. Nor is He as mute as you would prefer. (But maybe you just didn’t give Him permission to send prophets with a word!) A word to the wise. Don’t keep pressing against God’s will. He’s not a book that you can lord yourself over. As always, don’t believe me. Ask God yourself!

Ten Percent Or All Of It?

Are you 10% committed to God’s will? Is He in charge of only a “tithe” portion of your life? What if He measures His protection and provision with the same portion of giving? If you’re not wholehearted in Him being your God, shouldn’t He hold back His inclusion in your life similarly? Yikes! That’s a hard word!

You are going to have an opportunity today. Will you choose His path or will you decide that you know best?

*Not-so-hidden open letter follows:

Not only are you not fully submitted to God but you are teaching false doctrine in His church. How should He handle that? How cordial should He be with you while you include the blasphemous word “trinity” on your website? Should He walk you towards your own demise when you refuse to seek Him? You can’t certainly believe that He should send His prophet, whose warnings you refuse to heed, to lay hands on you to deliver His healing while you teach falsely. What good are you to the Kingdom? Are you a help or a hindrance? Once again, I warn you to remove the word “trinity” from your website. (Remember that I tried to do this privately and kindly from the beginning. It’s your refusal that is forcing God’s hand against you. I came in love as a friend and sister to issue the warning from God.) God doesn’t need my permission to come against you for refusing to seek Him and obey.
