Senseless “Uncircumcised” Shepherds?

These Scriptures (delivered through the Prophet Jeremiah) spoke to me about the upcoming elections. Are we going to choose the candidates that God speaks as His choice or are we going to provoke God’s wrath by ignoring Him? (His wrath can be corporate or individual as He chooses.)

“The days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will punish all who are circumcised only in the flesh— Egypt, Judah, Edom, Ammon, Moab and all who live in the wilderness in distant places. For all these nations are really uncircumcised, and even the whole house of Israel is uncircumcised in heart.” (Jeremiah 9:25-26 NIV)

“Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field, their idols cannot speak;
they must be carried because they cannot walk.” (Jeremiah 10:5 NIV)

“But the Lord is the true God; he is the living God, the eternal King.
When he is angry, the earth trembles; the nations cannot endure his wrath.” (Jeremiah 10:10 NIV)

“Everyone is senseless and without knowledge; every goldsmith is shamed by his idols. The images he makes are a fraud; they have no breath in them. They are worthless, the objects of mockery; when their judgment comes, they will perish.” (Jeremiah 10:14-15 NIV)

**** “The shepherds are senseless and do not inquire of the Lord;
so they do not prosper and all their flock is scattered.” (Jeremiah 10:21 NIV)

“Lord, I know that people’s lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps. Discipline me, Lord, but only in due measure—not in your anger, or you will reduce me to nothing. Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge you, on the peoples who do not call on your name.” (Jeremiah 10:23-25 NIV)

What Does It Take To Be A Hero?

In the secular world, a hero can be someone with a gifted singing voice, on-screen influence, a hot body, or perceived power. Think about who the cultural idols are today. Yes, we recognize the men and women of the military, law enforcement, firefighters, and emergency workers as invested individuals who are willing to risk themselves to rescue others. But where each person stands in their relationship with God is the true measure of their hero status.

“Yet they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. So he turned and became their enemy and he himself fought against them.” (Isaiah 63:10 NIV)

Is there a scarier verse in all Scripture? Who would be foolish enough to put themselves in the position of grieving the Spirit of God? When I set out to create the Mark of Excellence newsletters, the world had just undergone a plague of Biblical proportions called COVID. While that virus may have been created in a lab, every plague in the Bible was from God against His own people. Certainly the sovereign Lord had the power to stop a man-made plague if He wanted it gone. But He didn’t. Why?

That’s the question that I asked the Lord. He said that His churches were teaching falsely. They were refusing to seek Him about the doctrines being spewed from the pulpits. His own pastors were provoking Him against them. It was then that the Lord put my life on hold while He had me reach out to them about their doctrines.

This first letter (the tamest of the bunch) and doctrinal newsletter was aimed at getting the pastors to seek God on the subject of “One God”. Repeatedly the Scriptures teach that there is only one God. The Scriptures also command that we are to have no other gods. Yet, the trinity doctrines suggest that there are three gods in a godhead. I roll my eyes every time that the pastors in my town refer to Jesus as sitting next to the Father. They’re idiots. Jesus is the one and only God. If they knew God, they would know who He is. It seems to me that they fake having the gift of hearing God’s voice to make themselves seem holier. But God is not fooled. If I can read the word “trinity” on their website, I’m pretty sure that God sees it too.

Attached is the first letter and newsletter sent to 24 pastors locally. Since January of 2021 has there been improvement in this area? Have any of the pastors sought God about their false doctrine of three gods? Unfortunately, it seems that they are still provoking God to vengeance against the congregations who sit quietly accepting that nonsense while they play the country-club religion game. They’re complicit with the false teachers and deserve God’s wrath. They are covenant breakers not covenant keepers.
