On another note...
I know I said I was going to discuss Jonah chapters 2 and 3 today but first I have to address something because I strolling through blogs today as I often do just to see what else is out there and I came across a blog that not only infuriated me but is a pretty sad thing to me. I am not going to name the blog because it in itself is not worth mentioning, it was what he spoke against that is worthy of mention because it pertains to G-d. However the man over the blog has absolutely no clue. He's under a spirit of delusion and error. The word of G-d says you err because you don't know the scriptures (Matthew 22:29). If you are looking for truth, you'll find truth--because you'll draw that. But if you are looking for wrong and doubt you'll get that too. The scriptures also say that as a man thinketh in his heart so is he. (Proverbs 23:7) So if you don't want to believe, you won't. It's really that simple.
If you no longer believe in G-d that's one thing--don't lead others to that by false information and misleading "facts". The problem with believing is that it like anything else requires work. And people don't tend to like anything that will cause them to actually have to do something. The bible was given to us for our learning and through the word we would have hope(Romans 15:4). But understand that there are both a natural interpretation to the scriptures as well as a spiritual. There are things hidden within that only a man or woman after God's own heart would see because he would give it to them. Too few people read it as they should--for wisdom, direction, revelation and understanding. Even fewer have read it all the way through. To believe you have to know what the word says.
When we are first saved what we have is mental acceptance. Meaning we believe what has been told to us as being true--what causes doubt is the lack of growth in the area of belief. If you don't get in the word and spend time developing a relationship with G-d believing is harder than it has to be. If you have questions ask G-d. Very few men and even preachers have enough word knowledge or understanding to answer valid questions like "where did the dinosaurs come from" or "why is my mother going to church being faithful to her tithes and offering and prayer yet she's still broke?" A lot of people grew up in church and their lives never really seemed to change.
What people have to understand is if you don't get to a place where you depend on G-d to answer questions for you and not wait on a person to do it you'll still be lost. When you get to church--you should already have a word from G-d--the preacher should confirm that what G-d said to you. The problem is many people join churches out of convenience. It's close by, your family goes there, etc. You have to pray about where God wants you to be. You can't chose based on denominations because 99% of that is the doctrine of man and not G-d. That alone is subject to create confusion and so you know that is not of God. So if your preacher can't confirm or deny the word you already have you may be in the wrong place. Church membership is far more important than a good choir, convenient parking and youth activities. Jeremiah 3:15 says that god will give us pastors after our own heart. We are all assigned to someone. You have to find that person.
Some preachers don't believe in women preachers--God bless em'. I'm not here to debate that--But I can! With the word, not my opinion! The church needs revitalization. We need people who genuinely love God and the word of God from Genesis to the maps and beyond! People who are willing to do the work to "tear down, root out and rebuild" things the way it should be. We need people to know what they they believe, why they believe it and who can back every word up with the word of God! I'm a preacher--that's my purpose, that's what I am going to do. Somewhere in these daily musings it's my prayer that you are stirred up to love God and his word as much as I do.
