Is your preacher saved, and helping you get to heaven?
Rev. John R. Greene
The prophet Hosea tells when the people of Israel were destroyed for a lack of knowledge. Yet, God's Word was available, and the people simply rejected it. The prophet Ezekiel explains that Israel (princes, priests, scribes, even the common people), had one thing in common, they ignored God's Word! These people tossed out God! The prophet Samuel told king Saul, "Because you have rejected God's Word, God has rejected you," and would rip his kingdom away.
Do not be the person who casts God aside or reduces His Word to mere literature. You won't like the results. Despite what many men have said, you will need a superior a/c where you go. It isn't heaven!
James tells us not to desire to be teachers because if we have God's Word and His knowledge, we are held MORE accountable! Ministers, men of God, we are liable for everyone to whom we preach and teach. We will receive the rewards for our actions good or bad!
When the minister preaches, "Thou shall not commit adultery," and is sleeping with his secretary, tell me, what is wrong with this picture?? Maybe he never preaches that sin has wages, death, the second death which is the lake of fire according to Revelation! It's THE WORD!
I have been preaching and teaching for 5 years in four State prisons. I have had many questions asked of me. "Why? My pastor had a mistress. My pastor drank. My pastor lied. My pastor never preached against sin. Why, tell me why? Why didn't he tell me the truth?"
Their pastors preach hatred or stir people to violence, BUT then look into the eyes of a man out on parole and say, "We don't want your kind in our church." What is wrong with this picture? Hello!!!!! Sometimes I am so disgusted at the trash fed to these men from pulpits that have the same Bible that I have. That same man that preached them into jail rejects them when they get out! Where is God in this?
Some ministers are crafty, subtle, more cunning than... Sound like the serpent? And YOU, Mr. Minister, know better! If your opinion, guess-work, and immorality are more important than God's Word, then let's build more jails, we'll need them. But your hands are bloody!
Paul tells Timothy, "Preach the Word!" Ministers must preach The Word.
Jesus said, "Woe unto you, Scribes, Pharisees, hypocrites." They were liars and pretenders! Many ministers just need to get saved! They rob people of their money, even eternal life. Can ministers in Allendale be any different? Start preaching the Word so your people may know Jesus! Yes, Allendale has a few problems, but preaching God's Word changes lives. The Word deals with every problem, by first being accountable to our heavenly Father.
Maybe your pastor loves Jesus with all his heart. Have him contact me. Let's continue to break denominational barriers, color barriers, and societal barriers. We will have a genuine Holy Spirit revival, where Jesus is lifted up and people are changed by the power of God. God's Word changes people! Allendale must have a real encounter with Jesus!
If your preacher doesn't preach and conform to the Word, you have several options: get out before you die, get a new preacher, or get your preacher saved!
Now that you have heard the truth, you are responsible. Amen? Amen!!
