Today’s Thought “A Grim Future?” G. Ward

Judges 2

¹⁰ All that generation also were gathered to their fathers; and another generation rose up after them who did not know the Lord, nor even the work which He had done for Israel.

It’s very apparent that there’s predominance among church attendees, who’ve more learned to substitute religious jargon for obedience unto servitude towards others, through what’s most foundational to every human, representative of life: to know Christ and to make HIM known. Shamefully, social media has portrayed many ideas of what believer-ship means through visuals of great praise from some delighting in only those things perceivably favorable unto them (cf. Eccl.7:14); along with little boy preachers without ability to discern the objectivity of faith’s demand (knowing Truth, i.e., the Word of God), but solely capable with imitating theatrics witnessed by senior pulpiteers, to then hear onlookers affirm their presumed calling because they’re foolishly un-inhibited (like all of us who played church when we were children). All of these antics can never be a substitute for discipleship that ensures no stronghold as suited against a faith walk and allows fortitude that’s with a generous aim to ensure others are equally foundational in knowing it was the Author of grace with mercy who truly equips and without HIM, we’re all doomed.
