What
is highly valued among men is detestable in God's sight. (Luke
16:14)
No
servant can serve two masters.
Either
he will hate the one and love the other,
Or
he will be devoted to the one and despise the other.
You
cannot serve both God and Money.”
The
pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and were sneering at
Jesus.
He
said to them,
'You
are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of men,
But
God knows your hearts.
What
is highly valued among men is detestable in God's sight.'
(Luke
16:13-15)
What
is it that men value and love?
Every
thing that satisfies their flesh,
And
of course money can provide these things!
That
is what the unredeemed man and woman live for.
They
have no concept of Heaven or even Hell for that matter.
All
of this is detestable to God.
The
whole unredeemed world is an affront to God; it is His enemy,
Because
it is ruled by Satan, the “god” of this age;
It
is blind to Eternity in Heaven or Hell and consumed by fleshly
desires.
We
who are redeemed understand, by the grace of God:
'The
God who made the world and everything in it
Is
the Lord of Heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by
hands.
And
He is not served by human hands, as if He needed anything,
Because
He himself gives all men life and breath and everything else.
From
one man [Adam] He made every nation of men,
That
they should inhabit the whole earth
And
He determined the times set for them
And
the exact places where they should live.
God
did this so that men would seek Him and find Him,
Though
He is not far from each one of us.
For
in Him we live and move and have our being.'
As
some of your own people have said, 'We are His offspring.'
Therefore
since we are God's offspring,
We
should not think that the Divine Being is like gold or silver or
stone—
An
image made by man's design and skill.
In
the past God overlooked such ignorance,
But
now He commands ALL people everywhere to REPENT.
For
He has set a Day when He will judge the world with justice
By
the man [Christ Jesus] He has appointed.
He
has given proof of this to ALL men by raising Him from the dead.'
(Acts
17:24-31)
Today,
people, EVERY nation, are blind to the reality of Judgment Day.
They
are blinded by the “god” of this age Satan, the ruler of every
nation;
Blinded
to the reality of Heaven and Hell.
Blinded
to the fact that it is God who gives them life and breath;
That
in Him alone do they live and move and have their being.
Blinded
to the Good News that they can avoid the Hell they are destined for
If
they continue to be ruled by Satan and their flesh.
The
Church of God was intended by God to be the ALARM BELL!
Christ
Jesus sounded the ALARM BELL;
That
all who did not believe in Him would die in their sin and go to Hell.
Today,
much of the Church of God presents Christ Jesus
As
an simply an alternative life style.
Simply
a better alternative to other life styles.
This
is a LIE of omission! It omits the TRUTH!
Unless
a person receives Christ Jesus as Savior and Lord,
They
are dead in sin; Dead while they live and destined for Hell.
People
need to be told that God finds detestable what they value;
That
unless they seek the Kingdom of God above all else
They will die in
their sin.
The
whole American Culture, apart from faith in Christ is detestable to
God.
Christ
is either the whole of your life or none of your life.
You
are either for Him or you are against Him. Christ said:
'If
anyone would come after Me,
He
must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.
For
whoever wants to save his life will lose it,
But
whoever loses his life for Me and for the Gospel will save it.
What
good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?
Or
what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
If
anyone is ashamed of Me and My words
In
this adulterous and sinful generation,
The
Son of man will be ashamed of him
When
he comes in his Father's Glory with the holy angels.' (Luke 8:34-38)
America
today, is a sinful adulterous nation,
Who
values what is detestable to God.
Unless
America REPENTS of her adultery toward God, it is finished.
Today,
the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father, Your Kingdom
come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
