Subject: The Sovereignty of God |
Bible Note: Bro. Hank, I really tried to tone down my first reply to this question but with some of the new post I think it is time to go a bit deeper. Concerning the sovereignty of God it seems to me from talking to young pastor who are just coming out of school that even in our seminaries this ideal is put down. The students are taught not to do or say anything that could upset the applecart and to label as deviseive anyone who does teach such a doctrine. You see that today what passes for Christan teaching is little more than guilt relief. Do not talk about sin do not talk about hell do not talk about personal responsiblity just concentrate on what makes people go home and feel good. Yes the Word Faith Movement is a major problem eroding the church from within but a bigger problem is the fact the gospel for the most part has been changed or silenced in most of today's churches.. The gospel today is that God will make you have a wonderful life take awy all of your problems and all you have to do one time is just say I am a sinner and I am sorry nothing elese. Directly in opposition to what Christ Himself taught. He said count the cost there would be persecution there would be hard times the world would hate us even as it hated Him, look at our fellow brothers and sisters in other countries who are giving up their lives for the sake of the gospel see how much of this easy beliveism garbage you can feed them. God is sovereign He is in control He did say this day would come remember the church at Ladodicea, this does not take Him by suprise. And yes ther is still a faithfull remenant you have named a few of the men who stand in the gap and proclaim the Word of Truth To this list I would add Bro. Alan Barganier and the late J. Veron McGee whoes tapes are still heard daily on many radio stations. In closing let us remember this that Jesus Christ is the King Of Kings and The LordOf Lords He is the First and the Last He started this and He will finish it let us all look foward to that great day when God's sovereignty will be made manifest to all and every knee will bow and every tounge confess Jesus Christ as Lord.
