Today’s Thought “The Heat Is On…” G. Ward

“The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, But the Lord tests hearts.” Proverbs 17:3

Another Sunday gone and not enough repentance of sin (and that’s everyone) took place. Pastors are now sharing exciting capabilities with thousand of congregants shouting chants of trouble ends today, no more sickness and money cometh vs. warnings against mediocrity. The first two chants aren’t the priority, it’s the third that embraces uprising; “Money cometh!” While congregants aren’t climbing the socio-economic ladder (and actually become poorer) their bishops are becoming the nation’s top 1% (substantiating wealth by sharing that Abraham was rich, as if he sought owning Bentleys, planes, etc.). Many of us support these ministries because they appear so “grass root” (trust me; they don’t live in your neighborhood Mr. Rogers). While national ministries can be quite accentuating to our belief, the local church on the hill has to close their door (i.e. failing to meet their budget). The original intent of Holy God is marred once again; because millions opt out for another charismatic king vs. The King of kings…

Happy Monday!
