Iam heartbroken
Today before me lies a nation that's angry a nation divided along racial and economic lines. Racism has always existed, the only way it can end is when we as a people repent .we can try to solve the ills of our society. We can try to stem the rise of hate but it will always come back somehow and in somewhere. The riots and looters what are they accomplishing absoulutely nothing,we can have so many conferences to address the social problems we are facing daily,but this is a heart issue,racism and bigotry has even crept up into the church, we have pastors out there that are putting gasoline in to the fire by thinking the way the world thinks. Already some of them took this 'us against them' mentality. What we need to hear is the gospel..that is how can sinful man be right before a just and Holy God. Eph 2 says that man is separated from God because of sin. We have transgressed Gods law we committed cosmic treason against God therefore we react according to our DNA that means our sin that has been passed down to us. I keep hearing the phrase "people of color" well we all are 'people of color " we have black brown white ...but the same melin...we are all one because of adam..the bible says that because we all sinned we have fallen short of the glory of God. Today we have white people in churches apologizing for what their ancestors did . Scripture teaches us that each one will be judged by their own sin ...we were children of disobedience now we ate children of light if you call yourself a christian and you still harbor racist attitudes then you need to repent. Jesus said that the world will know that we are his disciples because of our love towards one another. Why do we keep going backwards we are here to speak to the broken hearted, what man needs is the gospel..again this is a heart issue your still in your sins, why would you do and loot and burn property for the sake of being heard? All that does is reinforces negative stereotype. Let's pray that the church will stand in the gap, and pray ephesians 6 says that we wrestle not against flesh and blood .its principalities this is a spiritual war waged for the soul of our communities

what is the true gospel
hello everyone, this is the first time that iam doing this, so please bear with me. the last couple of weeks the Holy Spirit has been putting in my heart, the theme of repentance. whats repentance and why the church is failing to see the kind of gospel that we should be preaching out there in the world. first of all we are commanded to go in to the world and preach this gospel. what breaks my heart we have gotten the mentality that we are in this to get what we can out of GOD. when it comes to asking. there are big time preachers outthere that i believe are misrepresenting the true purpose of why were out there preaching this gospel. steve lawson once said that we need to preach the gospel of the kingdom of GOD, which was
1.repentance and believeing the gospel.
repentance from what? we may ask. we have broken GODS standard. which was set in the 10 commandments. the commandments serves as a mirror, shows us that we are short of GODs perfection, its the LAW of GOD that converts the soul. Galatians 3:24 says that the LAW is our schoolmaster to bring us to christ, that we may be justified by faith. but for some apperent reason we are not seeing this. we have preached a gospel of prosperity,and are afraid to "offend" the sinner,. GOD did not sent his SON so that we can have riches here on earth, nor give us mansions and riches in this world because we gave so and so much to a particular ministry. GOD sent his son so that we can be forgiven of our SINS, sin is the trangression of the LAW. we deserve his wrath, we deserve to go to hell, but GOD did something, he sent JESUS so that he can be our SIN bearer he paid the price for us, so we can be reconciled with GOD. we need to preach this gospel where ever we go, and speak directly to the conscious of people because we do not want to see them in hell for eternity. we are sent to warn people of the coming judgement to come. GOD hates sin, and HE wants us to call it for what it is. lets continue on, lets stay faithful and presevere. we here in the west have gotten so used to feeling comfortable in our pews. but there are believers in other countries that are persecuted because they knew that being a christian was difficult and they had to pay the price. they preached the GOSPEL of the kingdom, called tribes, and nations to repentance, and because they were not ashamed they suffered the ultimate persecution, imprisonment, or death. they knew that its about the cross.....
