Bible Note: Again I would like to say that I believe in healing as the Bible describes it. My point is that I don't go along with the sideshow healers that are so prevalent today. They make a mockery of the truth that is presented in the Word of God to the point that it is disgraceful: Nothing, more and nothing less! Most of those that I have met that follow this kind of action are the type that are dictated to by their emotions and they don't have enough doctrin stored up in their soul to fill a thimble. They are the moodiest bunch of believers that I have ever run into; they have wide emotional swings in their Christian walk, and can change almost faster then the weather: believe me when I tell you, I know because I have worked with many, most of which have a Holier then thou attitude that makes me bilious. Don't get me wrong I love them in the Lord! What disturbs me is the way they come across to unbelievers. Just like the old saying goes, "what they do, speaks so loud that I can't hear what they are saying". More oft then not, they have muddied up the water so much that the people they are around won't even listen to a clear presentation of the gospel from anyone else! This is something that I have seen and lived with and you couldn't convince me otherwise, no mater how hard you try. When people see this going on they figure, if this guy is right I don't want to be. 2 Cor. 5:20 A Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, Lets act like one, CDBJ |
