Today’s Thought “Truth, Upside the Head!” G. Ward

“Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12

Church decline is on the increase. Although technology allows live streaming, while social networking offers cyber revivals, our timeless God proposed a physical (face to face) assembling (Heb. 10:25) for every season. We (mankind) think of this movement as epiphanizing, but Holy God knew of its potential from the creation of the world.

We can become more analytical concerning the decline with our many attacks about church relevancy along with preacher’s compelling to be rich vs. available unto missionary status; and all these arguments are true, but the accountability belongs to any who say they know HIM (1 Jn.5:3). The first commandment given man after Christ paid the price for man’s sin was going and making disciples (Mt.28:19). Here’s what’s necessary; get by yourself and ask “how long have I been a believer?” If I believe, can my most excellent testimonials on how good God is be what HE commanded, or am I to walk them through a systematic study of HIS word until they’re able to disciple another or perhaps I just don’t believe because I’m already refusing that notion…

Happy Friday!
