I'm always amazed how different societies think they can out whit, or out maneuver God. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Man has not evolved into a better species. In fact, I'd dare say society seems more ignorant today than they were a generation ago. I was in Walmart this morning. A small child about 3 stood in the middle of an isle, playing with an adult kitchen utensil, she could have easily been injured. I stopped the cart waiting for the mother, or father to take the object away from her. After 3 to 5 minutes the mother did reach down and take the sharp grater away from her, but left the little girl setting in the middle of the isle. At that point I asked, "Would you mind moving your daughter, so she doesn't get hurt setting there?"
Honestly, I've seen deer in headlights with more sense than these two parents, "Oh, okay." That's a prime example of why children should be raised and not hatched. Little by little we give up more of doing what is right, there will be a price for the lack of responsibility. The down hill slide is quickly coming to an end.
As our nation fails to teach our children about God, His ways and keep pulling away from God, He will bring this society to an end.
Read Ezekiel 22. Israel has always been his chosen people, but He is just with All. He will be just with America as well.
"Behold, then, I smite My hand at your dishonest gain which you have acquired and at the bloodshed which is among you. Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong in the days I will deal with you? I the Lord have spoken and will act. I will scatter you among the nations and will disperse you through the lands, and I will consume your uncleanness from you. You will profane yourself in the sight of the nations, and you will know that I am the Lord."
Ezekiel 22:13-16 (NASB)
"Son of man, say to her, "You are a land that is not cleansed or rained on in the day of indignation.' There is a conspiracy of her prophets in her midst like a roaring lion tearing the prey. They have devoured lives; they have taken treasure and precious things; they have made many widows in the midst of her. Her priests have done violence to my law and have profaned My holy things; they have made no distinction between the holy and the profane, and they have not taught the difference between the unclean and the clean, and they hide their eyes from My Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. Ezekiel 22:24-26 (NASB)
Just because God seems silent, do not take that for His toleration. He patiently hopes we will turn around. If we choose not to turn back to Him, God will punish us as well.
"Thus I have poured out My indignation them; I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath; their way I have brought upon their heads, declares the Lord God." Ezekiel 22:31 (NASB)
Do you know the difference between clean and unclean? Can you discern between what is holy and unholy? Are you observing the Sabbath Day and keeping it holy? The Only way you will know is to study God's word and seek His guidance through His Word-the Bible.
If the church you are going to is practicing immoral sex acts inside it's congregation, stealing from the elderly for the churches dishonest gain, or doing other dirty acts get away from that group of people. They are unclean, wolves in sheep's clothing.
If you want to please God seek Him through the Bible first, attend a Bible preaching and practicing church. Do Not be deceived by wolves in sheep's clothing. You are accountable to God.
