It’s a new year. A time when ministries are making out their calendars and venturing into new areas. Some are sending missionaries into the harvest fields of the world. Others are building orphanages in Third World countries. Still others are launching discipleship groups. And then there are those that are pushing socialist’s agendas and global warming.
Recycling the Gospel?
I received a packet today from the National Association of Evangelicals. It included a striking, full-color brochure, two DVDs, a personalized letter and a sharp booklet. It certainly got my attention.
Of course, the organization’s marketing budget was probably fairly healthy. With everybody cutting back on expenses this packet was over the top impressive. According to the NAE’s website, it has 30 million members within 60 denominations in about 45,000 churches. Wow, am I impressed!
This is the same NAE, by the way, whose former present, Ted Haggard, resigned after his moral failure with a homosexual prostitute. Lately he’s been on “Oprah,” “Larry King” and HBO aired a documentary, “The Trials of Ted Haggard” about his life produced by Alexandra Pelosi, daughter of none other than Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. But I digress…Let’s get back to the striking, full-color brochure.
Do you know what the NAE’s agenda is this year? “Winning 1 million souls for Christ,” you ask? No. “Equipping the saints for the work of the ministry?” No. “Feeding the poor, clothing the naked and taking care of orphans and widows?” No. It’s none of those things.
The agenda, according to current president Leith Anderson, is, drum roll please…. “creation care.” That’s right, global warming and saving the planet from its inhabitants. Anderson is senior pastor of Wooddale Church in Eden Prairie, Minn. As president of the NAE he is leading his network of 45,000 churches with the “Re-vision Project.” To buttress their efforts, Anderson has been endorsed by the Harvard Medical School. Sounds pretty important, doesn’t it? Anyway, the NAE is recommending that I and other pastors focus you on creation care, energy saving strategies and global warming issues. I kid you not!
In the packet was a letter saying, “Over the past few years many evangelicals have renewed their interest in caring for God’s creation.” Is that right? Maybe I am so disconnected down here in South Florida that I have missed the real issues facing the Church of Jesus Christ. Is it true? Have many evangelicals renewed their interest in environmental issues? The letter continues, “Creation care means nothing more than believing that the biblical principle of stewardship should apply to the environment. We want evangelicals to say, ‘My Father created the earth and in doing all things for the glory of God, I will take care of it until His return.’”
Folks, I had to read this letter twice. Do you mean that a 30 million-member Christian organization has embraced global warming issues as something that must be “re-visioned” in churches across America? Is this the Christian leadership we expect within the Body of Christ? Think about this. Of all the issues facing our nation with people losing their homes, jobs, terrorism, out of control spending in Washington, and financial strains put on marriages and families, is global warming the best we can come up with?
This is why I’m having such a tough time dealing with the lack of real leadership within the Body of Christ. How much Kool-Aid are we going to drink? Jesus said, “I will build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail.” Jesus spent His life preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom. Since when did global warming become a central cause of the Church of Christ?
This reminds me of the ever-increasing Hollywood propaganda entertainment movies like Wall-E and Happy Feet. Both of these kid-oriented movies portray humans destroying the earth through pollution. And, after all, none of that would have occurred if we were just responsible citizens that paid attention to global warming and the environment.
In a January 2009 U. S. Senate Minority Report more than 650 international scientists took issue with the man-made global warming claims and are challenging promoter Al Gore.
According to Nobel Prize winner for physics, Ivar Giaever, “I am a skeptic…Global warming has become a new religion.” Another award winning physicist Dr. Will Happer, professor at the Department of Physics at Princeton University says “Fears about man-made global warming are unwarranted and are not based on good science.” Happer has published over 200 scientific papers. The list of opposing scientist goes on and on.
This NAE letter goes on to say, “We have been given the unique opportunity to partner with the Harvard Medical School’s Center for Health and the Global Environment for a project that unites world-renowned evangelicals and scientists in their care for creation.” Well, if the “world-renowned evangelicals” and “scientists” have bought into this then I guess we should too right? Not so fast! Let’s think about this for a minute.
One of the signers of the re-vision letter was Pastor Ken Wilson from the 650-member Vineyard Church of Ann Arbor, Mich. I don’t know him at all and he’s probably a nice guy but that’s not the issue here. The issue is providing Christian leadership during times of national crisis. My only question for the good people of Michigan is how is the global warming propaganda working right now? I just checked the temperature showing a low of 9 degrees and highs in the 20s. Are you guys really buying this stuff as vital to re-vision your churches?
I remember John Wimber, founder of the Vineyard churches and his popular book “Power Evangelism.” He’s gone on to be with the Lord now but his book is still available. In the book he taught about releasing God’s mighty power through signs and wonders. I wonder what Wimber would think about the movement he pioneered embracing the “think green” school of evangelicalism. Anyway, the creation care network is presenting “The ReVision” Project and wants me to make a commitment to preach on the following per their letter:
- Preach a sermon on creation care and stewardship. (They gave me some cliff notes in the handbook.)
- Join the Energy Star Challenge for Churches. (Basically this means changing to energy saving light bulbs, water-saving toilets, insulating your attic, planting trees and weather stripping your windows.)
- Encourage a Sunday School class or small group to make creation care its focus.
Folks, is “creation care” what you want me and other pastors to teach and preach about? Is this the Gospel of Kingdom? Was the Holy Ghost involved in this decision to re-vision the Church? Sure, I believe in biblical stewardship but is biblical stewardship about pollution control and global warming? Give me a break. To me this is nothing more than more socialists’ propaganda and a great distraction to my fellow servants of Christ. No wonder the Church has no voice in this nation.
Let’s get back to that striking, full-color brochure. I wonder what it cost to produce, print and mail this packet to every church in America and where the money came from to do it. Did it come from a government grant funded by American taxpayers? Maybe it came from the 30 million members of the NAE. Did the members agree that this should be the main focus of the Church? The NAE is really into pastor surveys. Was the importance of global warming one of them?
As an added bonus the packet contained a DVD called “God and Global Warming” and a “Creation Care for Pastors” handbook, printed on recycled paper of course. Their hope is I will air it on the big screens this Sunday morning or during a mid-week service.
I know I don’t have the credibility of Harvard’s backing or 30 million ministry partners but something doesn’t seem right to me here. Is it just me or is there something wrong with this picture? What do you think? What’s the mission of the Church? Save souls or save the planet?
Leaders, I’m thinking we need to cut this stuff out. What do you think? It’s time for another great awakening and a revolution of righteousness in this country. Amen, Maranatha.

‘people matter to God’
Thank you so much for all your info. I agree with you. Our goal should be salvation. I’m a seer and it breaks my heart when people ignore warnings, drink the Kook-aid and walk off the cliff. It angers me when a group that we should be able to trust is so deceptive. The Lord has been telling me “Listen to the unknowns and the children.” Satan is working hard to distract people from Truth.

This is the worship of mother earth, the creation, to distract from worshiping the creator Himself. Just another confirmation of the “false” church predicted by Jesus to usher in the final days and the attempted take-over of the world by the Antichrist. “They” have also come out with a “green” bible as well. What a distraction to the real purpose of the Lord’s church. The influence of the world and the demonic influence in the false chruches and institutions is very evident. The leaders are not clued into the signs and wonders of the coming destruction of the earth and the entrance of the New Jerusalem. Just as it was in Jesus’s days the religious zealots were protecting their status rather then looking for the Messiah. There has been, is and will be great deceptions taking place in many of the institutions that proclaim to be Christians. Prepare for glory now for your redemption draws near!
Thank God there is a VOICE out there in the Evangelical Community that is speaking the truth. I believe Jonas that you have been raised up by God to for this very hour. Your material is powerful, anointed and what the Body of Christ needs to hear. Please do not stop regardless of what the secular church says. The seducing spirits that are infiltrating the church to deceive us into thinking we can be “accepted” by the world and their system. We will never be accepted. Jesus said “My kingdom is not of this world.” I believe the leaders of the NAE should do a very hard study of the word WORLD. Jesus said “If they persecuted me they will persecute you for my sake and the GOSPELS sake”. We are not to walk after “the course of this world” Eph 2:2 That is dictated by the god of this world.
God Bless you Jonas.
Why are Christians deceived so easily? Because they are not both hearers and doers of the Word of God. And are not committed to having right relationship with the Lord on a daily basis. We are truly living in the end of time. Your article is very enlightening as to where the church is and where we are going. 2Chron.7:14 says,”If my people…read it! God will take care of our land as we take care of His people.Let them know that we need to pray and repent from all sin and follow after Him.
Satan has taken over (many of) the denominations. It’s a new era (age) for the “church”. As we make the transition from Pisces (the fish / Jesus) to Aquarius (the water bearer / outpouring of the Holy Spirit) , we can expect a lot of “craziness”…
Hi guys,
We didn’t know about the “green bible” until Jack Bichsel mentioned it. Here is a link to see it for yourself.
http://greenletterbible.com/
“Worshipping the creation instead of the Creator”
(Scripture from the Bible).
Such deception. wHy are we surprised? When the spotted owls and snails are more important that human life(babies) we can only be headed into more and more deception. God states clearly in Isaiah – there will be darkness on the earth and deep darkness over the people, this is DECEPTION! We must ask God for more and more of HIm, more revelation of the times we are in and strategies to help others overcome the deception. If there are no voices to counter this deception within the local churches, i fear they will go along and be lulled to sleep. Oh God , that you would bless us and expand our territory. That you would be with us and keep us from evil, deception, that Your hand would be with us. Oh God, bless us indeed with your supernatural ability to win souls and to advance the Kingdom of God upon the earth!
It’s crazy out there!
I think there are “Bibles” for just about everyone available now.
Check out this one:

The enemy is truly working overtime in these final days…
Great letter Jonas. You wrote Exposing Spiritual Witchcraft…and know we are being manipulated into following a false trail in order to feel good about ourselves. You are absolutly right about the “mis-direction” of the church especially in these last days. It is only about souls at this late the game. The environment will probably be the catylist used to usher in the one world religion. Christian need to be aware of false teachers, prophets and leaders as Jesus spoke of in Matt. 24 who are all church “leaders” leading people astray. Jesus wasn’t talking about those in the world…of course they will lead you astray…they wouldn’t fool even the elect. In ist message to us about the final days in Matt. 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21…Jesus is talking about false directions in the church! 4 times in Matt. 24 does He warn us of false teachers.
Thanks, Jonas for getting this out. I know we need to pray for the government…but we REALLY need to pray for the church.

I think NAE is trying to improve their image as a result of Ted Haggard’s indescretions. I agree with the comment from Jack Bichsel. We are in worship of “Mother Earth”, as if she will save us in the end. We all know the Bible is clear what will happen to “mother”.
And yes the “BRIDE” has ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) as it pertains to our focus on what really matters in this last hour.
God help us iron out these spots and wrinkles before the Bride Groom calls.
I am in total agreement with you! This is designed to get the Body of Christ off of the true mission given to us by Jesus Christ. Global warming has been absolute nonsense and I have been shocked in reading your letter which indicates so many within the Body of Christ has fallen for this end-time evil along with the world. It saddens me deeply.
I’m with ya Jonas, keep speaking out. You have great discernment.
What did the Apostle Paul say when he went to speak to the Greeks in Athens (Acts 17;21-22)…”Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious.”
It seems as though they (NAE) have replaced Jesus with political correctness, being just one more organizaton funded/controlled by the government…choosing to worship mother earth over Father God. I believe that this is simply a taste of what we will be seeing in the days to come and we must be ready to confront this religious spirit.
satan is very subtle in distracting us from the truth and he will do it in ways that seem good and godly when in reality they are taking us off track from Gods intended purpose. Knowing the God that we serve is key to overcoming this spirit of deceit. Believe me, I am all for keeping America beautiful… just not at the expense of Jesus. It seems to me that we must get our own house cleaned up first…starting with the NAE.
Thank you Jonas for speaking the truth and letting God work through your words and your ministry to reach and teach others. God’s many blessings to you and your ministry.
We need no more Kool-Aid. The world needs Jesus and they are not doing anything to take Jesus to people’s hearts. They are being deceived in another direction. I thank you for writing this article and exposing Sata’s lies. We need more leaders like you that will not go after the world’s current. The truth is what sets people free. I encourage you to keep on preaching on this truth.
Jesus said to the Pharisees, “You tithe tea leaves but you do not look after the widows and ophrans. You should have focused on one and not left the other undone.” [paraphased of course]
Christians need to bring heaven to earth because only Christians can bring heaven to earth, and not leave looking after the planet undone.
To team up with a carnal college reveals that the Holy Spirit has left the neighborhood. Pastors with college knowledge but lack Holy Spirit schooling have a spiritually dry church. The world has become “here on earth as it is in hell” because there is a misdirection of the eyes. They are no longer focused on Jesus. The NAE no longer has made their love for God #1. The NAE’s walls shall tumble down for the wall of fire of God has gone out. As written over and over again in the Old Testament, if the people focused on God He would take care of everything else including the earth.
So many shepherds do not understand the fullness of God’s kingdom come. I guess that’s where we who do must take dominion and pray that God’s kingdom love will grab shepherds by the hair and bring them to their knees so that we in Christ can obediently rebuild the Temple in the Kingdom of God…and it doesn’t begin with “thinking green”.
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the church”
Well,I do think we can spend a time pondering on how we can improve life, and decrease pollution.
In Europe,things like shielding off windows, insulation and powersaving lightbulbs are for granted.
It really takes only a couple of weeks to ‘re-educate’ yourself, and buy the slightly more expensive bulb.
If it’s a temporary season you’re going through,I don’t think it’s so bad at all!
It should not become your goal though,just like with any kind of ministry or job!
But regardless of that, the first command God gave in Genesis is this:
“Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” (Gen1:28 NIV).
So far, we’ve:
- Been fruitful
- Increased in number
- Subdued nearly all the earth (except for Saharan desert, Himalayan mountains, and tropical rainforest)
So in other words: so far we’ve not yet filled the (whole) earth.
And what’s going to happen if we do? Same as what the enviromentalists try to prevent:
Polution,lack of space.
I think it’s not bad for people to now and then stand still with our environment,and that this should not be the issue here.
4Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,[a]‘ and will deceive many. 6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8All these are the beginning of birth pains.
Matt 24:10At that time [in the future] many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
I don’t think it’s bad to try to be a good steward financially and environmentally!
But I think it should only be obvious that the environment is and should not be seen as a gospel replacing what we’re here for!
So it’s not a matter if we should take care for the earth or not,we have to!
And even if people want to take a good initiative to talk about something good, isn’t it the same as any other job out there not glorifying God?
Even if they would really see this as a calling of God, and have put their eye off from the true gospel, are they that much further away from the truth than anyone else?
I can say without a shadow of a doubt that in our lives there might be directions where WE are wrong!
Perhaps as wrong as they are, and a very simple indicator is that we are not bearing fruit like we should…
Without a shadow of a doubt I can see how God used pioneers in a nation that hated God, and yet the church grew and became very fruitful,and the hand of God was there,because they did no mistake.
Yet too sad the church ended because of probably one of the greatest mistakes a christian can do.. Divorce, and marriage with a young girl.. tore the congregation and the pastor’s family apart…
Too sad that sometimes the best churches are also the ones that are attacked the hardest!
I try to refrain from judgement, unless I feel that my words can be helpful, and are spoken in love.
Out of the text I mentioned above Mt24:12 spoke most to me: “Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold”.
And that includes those who think they can hear from God… Including myself…
I love my wife dearly, she’s really like a garment of sparkling diamonds in my life!
But can I say the same thing about God?
Endless discussions make the mind weary (just like the books of Ecclesiastes say), what I worry about is, if I will still be saved by the end of my journey on earth.. Or will I give up like many before me who have turned away (not from faith, but: )from God?
In best of the worst case scenario I’ll end up in a ministry, and denomination somewhere, ensnared in tradition and religion…
I don’t want to talk about worst case scenario;but do we care that we still love God?
Has our love grown cold?
Love towards God, towards our neighbor?
Do we even know what it means to “love God first”?
If you stick your head too deep into darkness, pull it out, strip yourself of your beautiful garments, put on sackcloth; humble yourself and pray!
Strip yourself of any luxury, and go to the source, the beginning, your first love.
It’s your choice, to live fancy, or to live in truth and uprightness..
I think of all people this word has spoken most to myself.
And I honestly hope you will consider these words…
Cause in the end it does not matter who did this or who did that. It does not matter if you have emitted 5tonns or 100tonns of CO per year in your life..
But if we have loved God all the way to the end!
Don’t you agree?
There is also a social justice bible, and a copy was given to President Obama.
I think the justice bible and green bible are good in that they do point out the importance of the issues. But those issues are only a part of the message.
Of course the gay-lesbian bible is wrong. (e.g. Jude “different flesh” would mean what you would at first thought – not human. The translator of The Source is suggesting angels having not held their rightful place means they had sex with humans. No, angels not holding their place joined Lucifer in the battle in opposition to God and fell with Satan, becoming demons.)
The planets resources are being depleted in thirds first as it is written in the word. Eschatologists recognize the fulfillment of prophecy and those that are sensitive to the Holy Spirit.
We can’t stop the entropy of a sin-sick world,(all of creation groans to be delivered from corruption caused by Adamic sin- Rom 8:21-2). Humanity should act responsibly with the knowledge of Global warming.
However, the church is for saving souls. There are people that are more concerned about what’s going to happen to the planet that what’s going to happen to their Souls. The same way they feel about the imminent demise of the planet is the same way we feel about the imminent demmise of their Souls.
I agree with your commentary totally. I love you and I hope to meet you soon, there is much work to be done. You have a great gift to communicate and expose the grand deception of the enemy to the body of Christ. There is a huge void for the true prophetic voice to be spoken into. Don’t stop, stay humble, and know that your work is not in vain. Amen.
sir l dont undstand what they mean by that global warming evangelica.pastor can you please help us with any kind of help you can give to our church is well came in our church . it has only 30 members.we need some bibles and some books sir you are a man of GOD. here in zambia spiritual food is very hander to found sir.please MAN OF GOD help us. my box is 21210 kitwe zambia. yours in the lord s work ACOP CHURCH.
The question is should church leaders take time away from preaching the gospel to preach GREEN. The answer is no! This user friendly, politically correct approach to the gospel has to stop. This is not what Jesus preached. Give me the money that it cost to print the brochures and DVD’s so the gospel can be preached to the nations and that signs and wonders can follow the WORD!
If we preach this green message what will follow? hmmm… Apostle Marc
TIME TO GO HOME IS NEAR
The Priority of the NAE is symbolic of the end-time signs. The saints shouldn’t be bothered so much about this; the challenge from this however is that, we should know that the coming of the Lord is imminent; hence the saints’ preparation to meet the Lord. The current Global political and Economic developments are not just mere changes to better the lots of humanity but they are strategic in the fulfillment of the signs heralding the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and of the end of time. Sinners must therefore confess their sins and evils to God, repent of them and totally yield their lives over to the Lord Jesus Christ; accepting Him as their personal Lord and Saviour. The worst of the apostate church is yet to come. Sinners be WARNED and Saints should BEWARE.
Greetings to you brother Jonas,
We are all Servants of the most High God, the God of Abraham,Issac and Jacob! We must not be too busy that we make less time to be in God’s Presence. I believe the Heart of Abba Father is continously for precious souls to be saved and enter the Kindgom of Christ. For Transformation of souls, cities and nations. I pray not to have to hear Jesus ask me what did I do with the calling and talents he put in my spirit man and not have the answer that He wants! I too have a heart of Evangelism and must get out there and win souls for Jesus!Until we TRULY Know our Heavenly Father’s Heart and ask him to give us His Burdens for the people, then WE will take our marching orders and walk in our supernatural calling and have a passion Like Abba Father for the lost souls.Oh God, fill our hearts with your Heart! Let us santify ourselves of our own desires. We are to build His Kindgom and not anything of ourselves! Amen!
This is what the great apostasy is all about,worship the creation and put your faith in mans solutions no need for a God. The Earth has become an Idol,read the first 5 Commandments Exodus 20. Now that all the religions have gone green and P C is the common thread to this great Apostasy and the many Gods that people claim.The demonic party is now in control of the fourth beast, pro green,pro abortion, no God in schools or Gov.of any kind, take from those who work and give to those who don,t ie. the Gov takes care of the widows,orphans,and homeless through the entitlement programs Churches no longer have this responsibility.With all this said the faith of many has switch to Gov. Go for the souls its all that is left.I believe that the 70th week started Sept 2008.
AND I THOUGHT THE NIV WAS AND IS AN ATROCITY. AS THE OLD SAYING GOES “DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS” YEAH RIGHT. I HAVE SOME BEACHFRONT PROPERTY IN ARIZONA FOR A STEAL….
IF YOU WILL NOTICE FOR A MOMENT THIS ONE THING, ALL OF THIS DIDNT START SHAKING TILL THE INDONESIAN E QUAKE IN 04, THE EARTH IS STILL NOT ON AXIS , ROTATION HAS NOT BEEN REESTABLISHED INTO BALANCE.! I COULD SAY MORE TRUTH HERE AS THE ETERNAL REVEALED TO ME, ABOUT THE EARTHS CORE AND THE AXIS BUT NO ROOM….
SO I GO….!
A PROPEHTIC WORD TO ME FROM THE RUACH LAST YEAR, TO BE PRESSED TO THE CHURCH(S)….
” I HAVE RAVAGED THE SEAS, SHAKEN AND BROKEN THE EARTH, SENT TURMOIL INTO THE HEAVENLIES, YET STILL YOU TURN NOT BACK TO ME”
THIS WAS AND STILL IS A “THUS SAYETH THE LORD”. AND I STAND BEFORE HIM HERE TO IMPRESS THIS TO THIS PEOPLE.
THERE IS A GREATER THING THAT COMES THAT MAKES 9/11 AS A BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR A 2 YEAR OLD. AND IT PRESSES ITSELF CLOSER BY THE DAY THE HOUR THE MINUTE THE SECOND….PREPARE YOUR HEARTS IS ALL I CAN SAY.
THIS IS A WATCHMAN WARNING ACCORDING TO EZEK 33 AND AMOS 3:7.
THERE IS TRULY A “GLOBAL” EVENT THAT WILL OVERSHADOW THIS “GLOBAL WARMING ” SCENARIO.
NOUGH SAID ! TOO MUCH !
BLESSINGS IN YESHUA…..
Well,I’d most certainly not be afraid about what’s coming, and honestly, I’m not moved at all…
We should already know it’s coming and we should be getting ready.
We should know that in the end times the church shall be again like in the beginning, everyone sharing everything with everyone,as a true brotherly and family love; but it will also be because some will be forced to.
What are you going to do if half of the congregation is no longer able to pay their rent?
Or pay their bills?
Not saying it will happen, but if it does, better be prepared!
You know? There will be a time when western civilization won’t be able to stretch a helping hand to Africa anymore, because they’re struggling themselves to make it!
So many missionaries and people have ministered in Africa, but they did not learn… So it won’t be surprising if they will draw themselves back,and focus on something that does make sense,namely their own economy.
“Can a blind man lead a blind”?
And you know? The one who saves, for future needs has done well, and the one who spends has done well;like the one who marries has done well, and the one who does not has done even better!
I think it’s not everyone’s responsibility to do everything. I can’t “AND be in anti-abortion parties; AND be in the marriage act parties, AND be helping out Africa, AND help out my neighbor, AND go to work to earn my bread, AND …. “.
You know,many only have 2 hands, and before they start condemning others to be guilty of not doing anything, perhaps they should look to their own lives to see if they truly are perfect in ALL things!
We are a body, with parts. Personally I’m against abortion, but I’ve never been influenced by it;never seen it, never undergone the horror of abortion in family or friends. I suppose I could go to anti-abortion/pro-life meetings (which in essence are the same as Pro nature and green energy, since Carbon Dioxide intoxication is known to cause cancer on long term,and the bible says ‘thou shalt not kill’);but I’d be there as a fish outside the water!
Let the foot be a foot, made for walking,and let the eye be an eye made to see. If all the parts of the body should “AND walk, AND talk, AND see,AND…” why do we need each other then?
I’m not saying this as an excuse to get rid of this responsibility, but I believe I can be more responsible in another area.
There’s a wise lesson,and probably one of the most expensive lessons as a business person a man can learn, is: “Learn, and invest in that which profits most!”.
If you’re distracted by minor things that “profit less” you’ll never reach somewhere.
Let there be others who can “profit most” there where you “profit less”,and you mainly focus on that which you’re here for!
You only got so many hours a day, use them into what profits you most towards your destiny.
And believe it or not, but when your heart is pure for God, you will benefit most from where you see God being glorified most in!
That means if you want to buy a sportscar but God would be glorified more by you leaving your job to go on mission to preach, and save that money to support your family, then you know what to do…
I think one of the things we need most right now is TIME!
Time is almost more valuable then money…
And this year I’ve made a commitment to live more soberly, to focus on what IS important.
You know? When I just got saved the only thing I had was my worldly friends who had a big negative influence on me, and a little radio.
I didn’t have internet, or computers, didn’t have a TV in my room or a motorcycle or car.
In those moments when I was bored, I’d seek God.
Now,I’d turn on the TV,and live yet another day without hearing from God!
:\
Let the evangelicals do what they think is most important.
And let you do what you think is most important!
we are all different, different parts different functions, different callings, different future goals.
As someone once stated so beautifully:
“Some people are born just to get saved before they die, others are born with great responsibility to carry many. God is a just and fair God, and will reward both the lost son as well as the oldest who remained faithful to the father!”
God is not involved in Global warming and its propaganda. The lies and deception that are being told is just unbelievable. But to think that some of our leaders are following Satan and his cronies are even more hideous. Deception is in the land and many are falling away from the truth of God’s Word. It is true, narrow is the way, but many chooses to follow Satan on that broad road to the lake of fire. People of God we need to heed the voice of God and not Satan.
I thank God for you Jonas. I am very thankful to God for stirring such a righteous indignation in me. I am standing with you Jonas as well as those who are hearing God and have the Spirit of Issachar to discern the times that we live in. And yes everyone has a part but they are not equipped and sent by God because alot of God’s people need to start reading God’s word for themselves so that they can be free from religion, witchcraft, other peoples opinion, control, deception, etc. God has made a way to go behind the veil to him and it is through Jesus Christ.
We the church are a city that is set on a hill. We are beacon to this world. God wants us to repent of our apathy and any other sins and return unto him. The people of this world needs the Lord. To my brother Wendell yes we know that perilous times are going to worsen, but at the same time God does not want us to sit still. Read the book of Acts. God will and is shaking the Church and the world. In this time of shaking and persecution God will once again scatter his remnant in the streets. I am not saying that God did not speak through you, but what I am saying is this: The true Church of the living God is scattered and God is moving and stirring the hearts of his people to cross over Jordan into the Spirit so that he can show the world that He is God and besides him there is no other. So I’m saying this church “No more excused” enough is enough. We all will be judged by God’s Word and how we lived our lives here on this earth. Jesus had prayed for us and as I said before, we more than conquerors and we are already overcomers and we have the VICTORY. So lets all get in God’s will and do what God has called everyone of us to do.
God Bless you all!
I concur with you man of GOD. Paul said to the Corinthians “wen I came to you I desired to know nothing except JESUS Christ and HIM crucified”.
During the days of JESUS on earth, the Jews thought He would restore the kingdom to them BUT He came with another Kingdom, they never thought of. I believe that even today GOD Almighty still seeks man and women that will seek that Kingdom in the midst of a generation that cares about earth alone.
Thank you for focusin on Christ
Let All That Love Jesus advance his cause ahead of anything else
Gob bless you all
Brothers and sisters The Kingdom of God is at hand.He has placed us here to be the salt of the earth. How can the world know God except through us.Praise Him Honor Him and glorify Him. Live and let the Spirit Of God Rise Up within you. He said that many would fall away. Prey for them ,love them, and help them . Pray that their eyes will be opened. We are in this world but not of this world.
The earth is proceeding on course according to scripture.
