Take the word - go forth! 2 Chronicles 17:9.10

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

   We teach Jesus is love and kind and we need to be kind to others and act in love.  While this is true, many times we tend to act like Melba Milktoast and not stand up for Jesus, God, and take ridicule in the name of  "love and kindness."  Bunk!  Did Jesus ever become angry?  You bet he did!  Did he go into the temple and quietly whisper to the sellers, asking them to leave?  No, he was angry!  Why?  Because they did to the temple what we have done to Christmas - making it a capital venture.  Is this right?

   2 Chronicles 17 what did Jehoshaphat do?  He eliminated the false gods and sent people out to share the word of God.  Verses 9, 10 "So they taught in Judah, and had the Book of the Law of the LORD with them; they went throughout all the cities of Judah and taught the people.  And the fear of the LORD fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they did not make war against Jehoshaphat."

   Don't you think this is what God wants us to do?  We need to take a stand.  Jesus did not eat in the houses of the rich, sleep and travel in the best of situations and conditions.  Jesus went out to the people, delivering the truth to all who would listen and follow.   Jesus became angry at sin!  So, is it okay for you to become angry?  God becomes angry!  How do you think God, Jesus feel about what you are doing for HIM in today's world.  Would your work bring an "Amen" or an "Oh me"?

    I cannot convey strong enough what I feel God has laid on my heart about going forth boldly and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ.   Accepting not the things that are against Gods word or are watered down, aka 'politically correct' but stand up for Christ. JESUS DIED FOR YOU! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

    Be not lukewarm, but be hot for the LORD.  We are in a time of crisis as I have never seen in my short little 64 years; it is time to stand for something or you will fall for anything.  So, together, let us stand up strongly and boldly for the LORD.  Love you all.

   In Christ's Love and Grace
