A Call to Repentance

It has been a long day. I had to come home and hit my knees and touch God on behalf of the many people I saw coming and going at the surgery center in Austin while I was waiting for my friend to have work done.  It breaks my heart that people are so comfortable with themselves, not knowing, or willing to know that there is so much more to life than wandering around aimlessly thinking that they are in control of their lives. The Word says, "if any man be ignorant, let them be ignorant" (1 Cor 14:38), but there has to be something that will move these people to repentance. There are so many that acknowledge that Jesus died for us , but their belief stops there. There is a price to pay. Jesus' crucifixion shows us that there will always be a price to pay for sin, and although He paid it, He did it so that people could come to Him, ask for forgiveness,and have their sins washed away in baptism by taking His name. Not so that they can go about their business thinking they have no responsibility to repent, walk with Him, and ignore his instructions. Many are ignorant of the Word, or choose to only listen to the scripture that eases their conscience, or make them think they are safe. Oh that the scales would be removed from their eyes! Television programs have made millions producing shows about zombies, but those are the ultimate reality shows, as hundreds of millions of walking dead occupy this earth today unaware of where they will spend eternity. Jesus requires so much more from us as a people, yet very few are willing to "stand in the gap" (Ez 22:30). He said that a man is to "take up his cross" (Luke 9:23) and follow him. That is a call to action, a commandment, not a request. What will it take? Even "believers" are being misled by people that chose the wide path in order to grow churches. Jesus added 3000 people to His church in one day, based solely upon the same doctrine that I preach; the original Apostolic doctrine that Jesus taught and commanded that we follow. He said it, that should be enough, yet the traditions of men have clouded people's thinking, and they question and argue with the Word of God because it does not fit in with their lifestyle or what they think that religion should be. Anyone who is serious about walking closely with God, should be praying and studying this post in order to make sure that I am in the Word . He said in Mark 14:49," I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled." Jesus said, I told you what God said, but you ignored me. Nevertheless, I must die for you.

Don't ignore this post. Ask God to open your mind, to give you understanding and discernment.
Could Shad be right?
Is there a "more excellent way?" (1 Cor 12:31)
Is the Bible real?
Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

Isaiah 55:11
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

People worry that they are being told that they have "been doing it wrong". It does not matter. What matters is where you go from this point forward. That is your flesh talking and playing mind games. Do not let your flesh win.
2 Corinthians 10:5 [Full Chapter]
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

He is calling you today. Answer the call. Repent, be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ today, and you will be filled with the Spirit of God as promised by the Word.

Romans 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

Don't wait another second, it's time to get serious, and follow the One who gave everything that you might have eternal salvation.

Act on your faith!!
