Today’s Thought “Bought with A Price?” G. Ward Matthew 16 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. The church is in the news again. Evangelicals spectacularly flaunt their political opinions on a society just needing the Savior unto righteousness (i.e., His Sovereignty and Omnipotence) and now New Birth Missionary Baptist Church is with an unfortunate consideration to grow cannabis on their expansive properties and whereas Peter would be asked by such a Wonderful Savior as to who the populous thought He was and whereby Peter answered correctly when challenged (personally) by our Lord, answering from the depths of his soul, even confessing Christ as more than anything/enough (particularly in view of Him having made man and every content therein - John 1:1-3,14). Teaching any to obey the commands of our Lord remains the requirement for any to know Christ as Lord (Matt.28:19), not fabulous programming, good singing, preaching and most assuredly won’t be known for a harvest unsanctioned (No matter what the people say!). Blaming bad leaders for such ideology won’t ever be an acceptable defense mechanism for reluctance to absolutely belong to HIM who is Perfect. YOU better run to the Only Shelter unadulterated and stop choosing a church based on preferences and determine your confession of Christ remains the question for each day (*2 Pe.3:8-10).
