With our technology driven society today people are moving quickly from one thing to the next. Our technology has increased so much to where there are more people today that believe in THEMSELVES more than ANYONE else. People today honestly believe in THEIR Power, THEIR strength, and THEIR will. They gently push Jesus to the side with jokes and pictures and keep walking in their own strength and flesh. Satan is the King in our Society so everything that is supposed to be sacred to God has been flipped to Satans liking: Example (marriage, people living together not married, having kids not married, divorces, sex before marriage, cursing, Lords name in vain, Porn, Dressing Scandalous, Cheating, Lying, etc) These are ALL fruits of the Devil. God made it clear on what is TRUE in the Bible and Satan has flipped it today in our society to where it is the "Norm" for us and accepted. Satan is the deceiver to where he tricks us with this: He presents the package with a label that says "Let us just LOVE people and adjust to EVERYONE." Pride is the sin that got Satan knocked out of Heaven so he puffs up our pride to where if he can please EVERYONE with living how each person wants to live then he keeps everyone happy. This type of living is in bondage to sin because we are putting ourselves up as idols to God. We are serving ourself and our own needs. Let us see what Gods Word says:
Ephesians 5:4-Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which our out of place, but instead let there be Thanksgiving.
1 Thessalonians 5:22-Abstain from every form of evil.
James 4:4-You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend with the world makes himself an enemy of God.
Matthew 7:23-And then I will declare to them, "I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness."
1 John 3:6-No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him.
This is the TRUTH right here!! This is Gods truth in the Bible!! Not once does God say " I just love everyone so much to where I want everyone to live THEIR way and make themselves happy." Our God is a jealous God and he desires OUR fellowship. He needs to be NUMBER ONE in our life!!!
Now those pictures that I posted above should honestly offend you because if you are IN Christ Jesus then you have the Holy Spirit in you. Those pictures and jokes about Our Savior actually grieves the Holy Spirit.(Ephesians 4:30). I looked up the definition of Grieve and it says:
- to cause to suffer distress
-to feel grief, sorrow
This is what we are doing to the Holy spirit when we live Satans way and put ourselves as Idols. Here we are given a special Holy gift "The Holy Spirit" and we are taking this beautiful gift and making it grieve.
Seeing or hearing people mock about our Savior dying on the cross should make you sick to your stomach. Jesus came and died for ALL of us sinners and our World today is taking Prayer out of schools, mocking the institution of Marriage, Taking Jesus's name out of speeches, etc. We need to get down on our hands and knees and lift up praise to the Holy King!!! If this message spoke to you, I encourage you to repent and turn from your sin and put Jesus on the throne where he belongs!!
