Letters to Christ's Beloved Church

https://colsoncenter.org/breakpoint/morality-by-what-standard

Beloved in Christ for whom His blood was shed, as it was shed for the sins of the world, please wake up.

If we want judgment for the broken woman, so spiritually physically and mentally destroyed that she would destroy her own child, I would say we’ve lost sight of the cross. I wonder if we might be in more trouble than she is. I get law. I get wanting to punish murder. So which one of you are willing to take her place? Because Jesus did. And right now, you guys are really scaring me. Because with the measure that we judge, we will be judged – or do you not believe scripture?

Hear what the spirit of God would speak to the churches, please. You are correct on the things that you are correct. You are in error in the things that you are leaving out. All I can do is be obedient to write. I am not perfect anymore than you are as iron sharpens iron I beg you to listen. I wish I was a better messenger but I suppose if God could use a donkey to warn a prophet, he could use me to speak to you? I cannot force you to read. 20 minutes max. You want to save a life? Then read. And may God give us ears to hear, eyes to see, and replace our hearts of stone with hearts of Flesh. May God have mercy.

Please start here. Let’s start with the word of God. You can read the whole book of Romans if you have time. For sake of space I’m just putting down the pieces that reflect what I’m trying to share.

Romans 1:21-32 ESV
[21] For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

[22] Claiming to be wise, they became fools, [23] and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.

[24] Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, [25] because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.

Pause – have WE exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served what we have created, in essence ourselves in our own thinking rather than the Creator who is blessed forever? Think about it for a minute. I would challenge that when we present a God that does not line up with who God reveals himself to be entirety in the word of God, we are doing exactly that, exchanging the truth about God for a lie. Think about the Pharisees that demanded Christ’s crucifixion that were so sure they knew what the Bible said. Why then did they demand Christ die? In the name of God, they were teaching a lie.

[26] For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; [27] and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.

Pause for just a minute. I have witnessed since 1970 when I was born, a generation in the church circles that exalts and blows up this passage while ignoring the rest of the scripture. Yes this is true. This is the word of God…. But let’s continue…

[28] And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.

Pause again. How many conversations have I had and yes I thought this way too for quite a number of years, that goes,

“Oh my goodness! those poor souls! Those people that are committing abortions, those people that are in gender issues and not being obedient to God’s commands…. we absolutely have to teach them the right way of God! We have to pray for these poor people….

But what does the word of God say these evil people are guilty of doing? 

Let’s continue…

[29] They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness,

Pause just a minute. Do you know anybody that’s covetous? I know I can’t get further than the bathroom mirror. Another word used in other places in scripture is greed. Having what we need for life, but then building ourselves up more and more instead of obeying the law of God throughout Old and New Testament to take care of the poor and the oppressed… Not just with our extra money, but giving of ourselves to see that others have what they need for life when we have what we need.

By any chance do we know anybody that’s Covetous or greedy? Because this sin is listed right alongside the act of homosexuality.

(Sub- Thought, Click Here:  BTW The WORD homosexuality is NOT in Scripture.)

So that sin of covetousness and greed is just as horrible in this passage as the other things that are being mentioned, so if we want to talk about morality, another word I don’t believe is in Scripture, but I haven’t looked that one up so I could check, maybe we shouldn’t exalt morality but we should exalt God’s word and the Cross of Christ? Let’s continue…

…malice. They are full of envy,

Pause. Do you know anybody that is full of envy?

murder,


Pause. Do you know anybody that has murderous thoughts , because Jesus Christ said that if we hate somebody we are guilty of murder before God but there’s a lot of people claiming God on the right wing that seem to think hating and killing somehow now is part of a Godly walk? Not according to God or his word. So if we want to talk about morality feel free to be balanced about it.

deceit,

Pause for a moment. Do you know anybody that is full of Deceit? Maybe accusing horrible rotten sinners, while neglecting the horrible rotten sin of the person in the mirror… is there any sin or deceit worse than misrepresenting who God is and his love?

maliciousness.


They are gossips, [30] slanderers,

Pause again, please. I still stand that the Babylon Bee and the Colson Center and others that have lifted up the stories they have are in Gross error. There is some of the stuff on Babylon Bee that is clean and funny, and things that are not in love and are hurtful and harmful and contrary completely to the law that God commands us to be kind. And this is the reason you’re pushing why people from the church and from Christ. You don’t even care what the people listening to you think when they tell you it’s offensive. That is arrogance and Foolish Pride which is an Abomination Before the Throne of God. This is true of Comedians and I’ve seen the harm done in the name of mocking. Christ didn’t do that, there is a comedy that can be clean and funny, but putting people down isn’t funny; they were made in the image of God. You cannot mock and make fun of those made in the image of God and think you are perfectly okay doing that and then wonder why after setting such an example people follow your example and also desecrate what is made in the image of God . God in his love has given you your damnable sins so you can lead the world and repentance . Repent.

Tell the drag queens and the people who think differently that you than you do that you are sorry for insulting them. I’m not saying to agree with sin. I’m not saying that you can’t speak what is true. But you’re not speaking what is true. You’re pointing out their sins while ignoring the greater damnation of the person in the mirror. The only difference between them and you, you have believed in Christ. And so in his grace and mercy, you rest under the protection provided through the blood. But be careful because if you continue to shut the door to those he desires to reach with his love, that is a very fearful scary thing.

When we in the name of Jesus Christ speak things that are contrary to Christ and say that it’s him that’s doing it , surely that is worst Abomination possible and then saying that it was being done in the Name of Christ. This is disgusting and in my perception a far worse blaspheme being done in the church in the Name of Christ that could be done by the pagans. So please wake up and repent.

I do not agree with the movie Truth Rising in all of it. Certainly there are things that are right and godly but you are really missing the Abominations of the people in the mirror. And so people will not listen to the truth that you present because in essence you are providing part truth and part falsehood.

These are my perceptions. God have mercy on me if I’m wrong. I believe you walk with Christ. And I do believe the spirit of God moves in the ways that you speak sometimes but he does that to exalt his name and to exalt the Cross of Christ. Salvation is from God Alone.

If you want to lead homosexuals and drag queens to Christ, write an apology and posted in every public place for the way you’ve treated them. Humble yourselves in tears and cry. And ask God to forgive your heart and hearts for not loving them like he has loved you and like he has loved them.

You are right. We are not to call evil good or good evil. You are right. The careless killing of a child in the womb is deeply evil. As is your own folly. So repent and show the world what it means to lead by example. Apologize. Take the word of God equally to your friends because you will stand before Jesus Christ. As will I. As will every human. And lying is an Abomination Before the Throne of God. Thank God he has given all men over to sin that he might have mercy on them all. You are saved because of your faith in Christ. So why do you not share that? You are not saved because of your smartness or intelligence. Knowledge puffs up but love builds up. So repent. Change Direction. Fear God. Don’t be worried about losing your position or job. Don’t be worried about what happens when you start speaking out within the church about the damnable sins in the church of greed and pride self-centeredness and lack of love, cowardice. But always speak from the perspective of kindness and love and saving grace. And don’t bully one group of people and then accuse the world of being prejudiced against Christians when they’re just tired of being hurt. They want his salvation and rest just like you do so why do you not offer it? You are right. Murder deserves Justice. So does greed.

I think we have proven for all to see without a shadow of a doubt that we are saved by grace alone not by works so that no one can boast so I would strongly recommend we lift up the Cross of Christ.

Note the term slanderer in the above Passage. Paul states that the slanderers is part of that evil group. I don’t see Christ using slander in his preaching. He spoke the truth in love and yes there were times he spoke hard words against the church leaders who thought they had it all right and were refusing to listen to him. But he did not mock them or put them down or make fun of them. It is the Antichrist spirit that disrespects Authority. When he called them white washed walls he wasn’t trying to demean them or mock them or slander them he was speaking in a righteous anger against the deception and was calling out what was true. It was meant to be a wake-up call, to bring them to life not push them toward death. His motive was and will ever be love. And when our motive is to hurt our enemy and hurt those who have hurt us, we are not walking in Christ because if he did that with us we wouldn’t be standing.

And you can take one scripture regarding Elijah and the prophets of Baal and try to make a Doctrine out of that if you want, but I don’t think that’s any wiser than taking the story of Tamar and saying it’s now okay to be a prostitute and have sex with your father-in-law. Just because God permits something once in awhile doesn’t mean it’s the way he wanted it done. But God works and walks alongside Fallen human creatures.

Even as we see Christ telling the Pharisees when they said why then did Moses give us a certificate of divorce, Christ told them, because your hearts were hard. That’s why God permitted it because you weren’t going to listen anyway, but that wasn’t the way that God wanted it done. So be careful because you and I, too, will stand before Jesus Christ.

haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, [31] foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless.

Pause a minute. We could break down each of these things but instead of looking at everybody else let’s take a good look at the person in the mirror. Have you ever been disobedient to your parents, maybe the spiritual parents in your life, the pastors, or others who are there to guard you and protect you and guide you? Have we ever been foolish or faithless? How about heartless towards let’s say a woman who just had an abortion? Surely not us…. Morality, right…? Let’s continue.

[32] Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.

https://bible.com/bible/59/rom.1.21-32.ESV


Romans 2:1-11 ESV
[1] Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things.

Pause for just a minute.

IS THIS HITTING HOME, BELOVED? OR ARE WE TOO HARD HEARTED TO EVEN LET IT BEGIN TO SINK IN?

Because if this is not causing us fear, the terror of the Lord, if there is no emotional response to these words, we need to hit our knees and fast and pray and ask God to remove our hard heart, until we’re crying and asking God for forgiveness for our disgusting, damnable sins. Because when we can read the scripture and just faze over it, like it didn’t actually apply to us, it only applies to those other poor horrible sinful creatures, we are really really in trouble. So I ask you? Is this hitting home?


[2] We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. [3] Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God?

Pause a minute and think about this. We have only two ways to go with the scriptures above.

Either we’re going to be honest and that we are guilty, just as damnably guilty as a woman committing abortion or the person in the act of homosexuality or whatever other heinous crimes we have exalted Above the Rest of what the word of God calls abomination and sin, you and I are either going to be honest and humble or we are going to lie and be prideful and say that we’re better than them and our sins aren’t as bad as theirs.

So, what do we choose? Do we not understand that that scripture, “… you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself, how would you escape the Judgment of God,” applies to US? Because I would assume – I don’t know, God is Judge – but I would think the absolute most evil thing we could do is have the knowledge of God but not share it, have the understanding of the love and grace of God but go back to an Uber focus on a few things of the law that make us look good making us look like we are something when we are not instead of exalting the cross of Jesus Christ because the truth is we are nothing without him.

Next, what happens and what is it going to cost you in your blogging in your social media if you actually speak the truth instead of Lies?

HOLD ON! Don’t hit the X just yet please! Is this offensive, to declare that there are those in the conservative right-wing and even in the church that are committing the Abominable gross sin of lying according to Proverbs 16 and other areas?

We are “good” at correcting others, but are we “good” at being corrected?

We are telling others the truth of what the word of God says in asking them to repent and do what is right. But if we are not capable of repenting, shouldn’t we start there, with the log in our own eye? Doing beautiful sermons and blogs on the things that we need to change and being honest about it.

But we’re not good or perfect. Christ is. What if, instead of having a nice professional appearance with the perfect hairstyle, nice suit and makeup, we come on stage in tears with crushed clothes, asking forgiveness for not exalting the Cross of Christ, looking a complete mess, not putting on the facade of something we are not, because we’ve been on our knees crying out to God to have mercy on us and this generation…?


[4] Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?

Yep. Pause please. I love the word repentance that is used in the Bible. There’s only I believe two times – I could be wrong – where Jesus Christ used the phrase, “stop sinning” or “sin no more.“

But we are called to repent and that means to admit the truth, change direction and turn to Christ for salvation. It doesn’t mean to stop sinning because we are not capable of suddenly stopping sinning. It means returning to the relationship with God that we were designed to walk in. And for each person that can look differently. I am gifted in many things. Life skills is not one of them and the way I handle finances would be a damnable sin for many. But I am gifted in mercy, strive to do my best with what God has given me, but that right there is a lie because I don’t always drive my best and I – I really truly am saved by grace alone and God gives me Grace in the areas I fail.

Regarding reaching atheists with the law so we can present the gospel, yes I respect CS Lewis but he lived a while ago, and I don’t know what his circle of influence was, the big question is — are the atheist and pagans rejecting God, or are they rejecting the impure, false vision of God we have presented, which perhaps the Living God rejects as well…? Are they seeing God’s love in US? But it’s God’s kindness that leads us to repentance.

Repentance in the New Covenant means coming home. Yes there is a turning from sin that is involved, but depending on how abused or how broken people are, for some the only thing they can do is cling to the fact that if they believe in Jesus Christ they will be saved. And how dare the healthy sheep put a block in the way of the weaker sheep and push them away from the cross and the love of Christ? Would that not anger the Savior…?

Christianity is not law based. It’s Christ based and it is relationship based with the Living God. He alone knows what every person can and cannot do and he will perfectly judge the motives of every person’s heart. Somebody that has looked like a failure in the eyes of us or mankind for years very easily can be lifted up as God sees the heart. There are many black sheeps, sheep. Sheeps. Sheep. Okay got it. There are many black sheep, that will enter eternity not having fully broken through their drug addiction and alcoholism not because they weren’t trying but because those around them were not loving. So God will judge the motives of all. A mature Christian looks like Jesus Christ and loves like Jesus Christ. And we have a long way to go; thank God he saves us.

Yes. Truth. Yes, the law is beautiful and good. But the truth is we don’t follow it. So Christ brings truth and Grace. And he is savior. Yes we uphold the law. Well being the hands and feet of Christ to a suffering Dying World. Study his response to the woman of the well and then study the story of the Good Samaritan — and go and do likewise.

For some, if they keep having the courage to get through the doors of the church and they keep clinging to reading the word of God little by little over the years those other things will fall away. But some things we won’t see perfected until we stand before Christ.

Are we not living proof of that beloved? “There is not to be any greedy among you,” according to Paul. If we’re calling that Christianity – just looking to the way we should act and live that certainly is part of a living faith, but if that alone is the line for our salvation, instead of Christ’s blood being 100% the reason we are saved, then I don’t think there’s very many Christians in the current Western world. Give up our greed . Stop looking for the world and it’s idols and live for Christ.

We’re supposed to be loving. Caring where our TEMR – time, energy, money and resources – goes. “But thanks be to God who always gives us the victory in Christ Jesus.” His mercies are amazing and new every morning. Even the rich can be saved. You know those with three meals a day and hot running water….

That’s why we have to take Holy Communion and have the body and blood of Christ, because our walk with God isn’t based upon our morality but on his grace, it’s based upon the blood and the fellowship given to us, sinful Fallen creatures that continue in greed, self-centeredness, pride and cowardice even after we have received forgiveness.

Yes there is a continual desire when somebody is a mentally, spiritually and physically healthy human, there should be a constant striving to do what is right, but some people are in the spiritual hospital and some are spiritual infants and you don’t expect a 3 month old to do anything but eat, sleep and poop.

And you don’t expect somebody who spent 20 years in abuse to stop doing all their sins all of a sudden – why would we ask them to do that when you haven’t done that? We could only expect them to come to church and be fed and loved on and get the food, spiritual nourishment, hopefully maybe even physical nourishment whatever they need so that they can grow and eventually be strong enough to let go some of the things that have kept them down. Certainly there is Deliverance that is Supernatural at times, but the Christian walk isn’t about us being these wonderful moral creatures.

Prayerfully that will be a byproduct, but then it gets goofy because everybody wants to Define morality by whatever makes them look good, but the word morality is not a command in Scripture. Love is.

And because we screw all of this stuff up God defines “Love” for us with the perfect definition being the cross and the resurrection from the dead. 1st Corinthians 13 gives us instruction as to how God defines love. So are we patient? Are we kind? Go through the list. How are we doing with our time energy money and resources in obeying the laws of God? Or do we not count the knowledge of God worth retaining…?

I understand the argument of explaining law to “those atheists.” Needing them to understand punishment before Grace and certainly there is a place and we do need to understand the fear of God. If there was no law, there would be no need for the cross. Nothing would matter, but as you have said, all of life matters.

It matters whether or not a woman destroys the Life in Her womb.

And it equally matters whether the greedy stand back withholding resources from her not even bothering to get into her mix with the love that she might need to keep her from making that choice. I just don’t hear that preached a lot.

You are a treasure. You are beloved. You are so precious to God and Christ, He left his home in heaven, gave up His Tesla and paid the price with his blood and suffering for every sin so that he could have eternity with you.

As we cling to that Grace let this be the message that we put everywhere we go, every word, that we speak let us exalt the love of God in the Cross of Christ, every blog, every tweet, exalt the love of God in Christ and his salvation.

Yes the law is real and needs to be told and explained. But the law of Moses has been read for thousands of years. We are called to be living letters, maybe imitate Christ and give up our homes, Teslas and get into the suffering of this world? Or is it just easier to pass laws and tell everybody what they’re doing wrong? We are to be living letters of the love of God. But because they did not count the knowledge of God worth retaining, He gave them over….

And I have an issue with the Ten Commandments being placed in schools in former years, if that was all that was taught, because that is most certainly not all that the Living God or Jesus Christ taught – why exhaust The Ten Commandments that brought death instead of exalting the Cross of Christ and his resurrection that brings life? Why not put the Sermon on the Mount on the walls of the school? and to put on people a bunch of laws without bringing them into the relationship through the grace and blood of Jesus Christ is probably more damnable than any other religion. So yes, this generation is indeed need of repentance. Any takers?

Anybody willing to write on their blog:  this is me. I am a sinner. I sin every single day and I’m really glad that God doesn’t punish me the way my sins deserve. I Fear God. I know he judges my heart and so I don’t sin flippantly or carelessly. I strive to do what is right to the best of my ability because God will most certainly judge me when I cross through the Veil. And there will be a judgment of the righteous and of the unrighteous and the Apostle Paul spoke much of the fear of God and of judgment. He said he strives to keep his conscience clear because he fears God. There is no such thing as casual Christianity and there is no such thing as cheap Grace. But in that fear of God I come to him broken and in need of a savior. I believe in the Forgiveness of sins. I believe the blood was enough. And I desire to live fervently for him. So yes some people need to have a little bit more law and a better understanding that we’re not supposed to just do whatever we want whenever we want to. But let’s not lie. Please certainly not in the name of Jesus. Lying is an abomination. Pride is an abomination. Greed is a sin equally damnable in the Bible to the sin of murder. How about we spend the next 40 years preaching on that and give the other sins a break for a little bit?

[5] But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.

[6]  He will render to each one according to his works: [7] to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; [8] but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury.

So again do you read this and you say oh yes those evil sinners, those gender people and those people who have done abortion, or do you read that and see yourself in the mirror? Because if you do not see yourself in that scripture you are really seriously in trouble. Because of our hard and unrepentant hearts –

THIS beloved for whom Jesus Christ died is the law and MORALITY that YOU are commanded to follow: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and mind and strength. And love your neighbor as yourself. Do to others what you would have them do to you. Do you really want to go to jail? For your sins, is that what you want?

Please please understand, if you do not grasp the grace of God and do not understand this message it’s not just going to affect you, it will affect your children, because it’s not what is outside of the church or the home that destroys the children’s lives but what is within. Are you walking in faith that works by love? Are you on your knees praying for this generation or are you busy sitting down watching TV and sports? What Idols do you have that could be destroyed so that you could spend time actually doing the word of God? And if you do not have the power, because often we don’t, to change your ways at this point in time, then the thing to do is continue to confess the sin, acknowledge it and continue to ask God to set you free in his time, because God is Mercy has given all people over to sin that he might have mercy on them all. Understand that.

But if we are not people of Mercy love and compassion, if all we speak is justice according to us, because True Justice judges the person in the mirror with the same law of God that we judge the other person, if we are not people of Mercy, love and compassion, then we should have the terror of the Lord and know that there is going to be a judgment. May God set us free from our chains. Neither complacency or comfortable are commands of God or our Lord Jesus Christ. Wake up.

[9] There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek, [10] but glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek. [11] For God shows no partiality.

https://bible.com/bible/59/rom.2.1-11.ESV

I have a second one that I want to post but if the Lord Wills I’ll do that later but we will stop here for now. Wake up. Please wake up.


We do nothing is impossible with God. Even the rich can be saved according to Christ. You know those people with three meals a day and hot running water? Lord God please help us. Please help us father.

God’s peace.

But what happens when people are offended?  They don’t want to listen – so, beloved for whom Christ died, are WE listening?

We can go so far as to mock others and their sins but the moment that somebody confronts us of lying, can we even take a moment to find out if that’s true or do we just do whatever other human does and shut the door and our ears to anything that opposes us being wonderful, perfect and good. Just ask us.
