You are responsible - tell the people! Ezekiel 3:20-21

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

Well, what is happening in your world now? Remember, our God is an on time God; not your time but His.

God told Ezekiel to go tell the people; did you do that yesterday, the day before, are you going to today?
Ezekiel 3:20-21 "If righteous people turn away from their righteous behavior and ignore the obstacles I put in their way, they will die. An if you do not warn them, they will die in their sins. None of their righteous acts will be remembered and I will hold you responsible for their deaths. (21) But if you warn righteous people not to sin and they listen to you and do not sin, they will live and you will have saved yourself, too."

In these verses (18 & 19 also) God is not talking about loss of salvation but rather about physical death. If the people back in Judah continued in their sins, they and their land and cities would be destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar's armies. If, on the other hand, the people would turn to God, God would spare them. God would hold Ezekiel responsible for his fellow Jews if he failed to warn them of the consequences of their sins.

All people are individually responsible to God, but believers have a special responsibility to warn unbelievers of the consequences of rejecting God. If we fail to do this, God will hold us responsible for what happens to them. This should motivate us to begin sharing our faith with others - in word and in deed - and to avoid becoming callous or unconcerned in our attitude.

We, in America, are experiencing a slow death in our morality. Slowly words, actions, deeds are changing and respect for our LORD and others is deteriorating. At one time censors were all over the airways (radio & t.v.) making sure no curse words were being used; no degenerate or inappropriate behavior was shown on t.v. or spoke about on radio. Years ago a woman was p.g. or in a family way - we did not say pregnant. Crap was a forbidden word. Homosexuality was not shown as something to be proud of. People got married, then had children. We called people sir and ma'am not 'bud.' Slowly and methodically Satan is polluting our Christian values, so what are you going to do? I think back to my answer, "SIR, WE WOULD SEE JESUS." Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
