Arrrrgh.<BR/><BR/>When I look at what Christians around the world are going through just being Christians and hear the man-centered message that is being preached here in the States to make people feel good about themselves makes me want to spit nails.<BR/><BR/>Christians are being martyred around the world...dying for their faith and millions in this country don't have clue about it. They are wrapped up in 'Your best life now', 'Become a better you' and 'Love your life' that they have not a clue to what a real Christian life is supposed to look like.<BR/>--------------------------<BR/>Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.”<BR/>-----------------------<BR/><BR/>But if not........let it be known........<BR/><BR/>Where are those when adversity strikes that say, "But if not, let it be known..."<BR/><BR/>These are the ones who stand firm to the end through their faith. These are the ones not worried about their 401k or having their best life now.<BR/><BR/>They know why they are here.....to worship and give glory to the Creator and do His will.Dawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06667201139980869656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20374252.post-55138444779702819902009-03-12T14:47:00.000-05:002009-03-12T14:47:00.000-05:00As I read this post....I am ashamed. We Christians...As I read this post....I am ashamed. We Christians in America are spoiled!<BR/><BR/> My wife has cancer and has had more body organs removed than I have fingers on both hands. I wonder what she would say to me if I were to purchase Olsteen's book for her?<BR/><BR/> My wife and I have been broken and humbled. The one thing that "we" can say is that even though there are no guarantees that the cancer will not come back and even though my beautiful wife is scarred emotionally and physically, while "we" were sinners....the lowest of the low...God saved us! And that is enough! Even if the cancer comes back, God is enough! He is good! He is precious! He is our treasure! He will satisfy us!<BR/><BR/> "Whom have we in heaven but the Lord and in earth there is nothing we desire but Him! Our flesh and our hearts may fail but the Lord is the strength of our hearts and our portion forever!"Ikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09595879576794400791noreply@blogger.com
