It's God's Glory
Malachi 2:1-2
“And
now, O priest, this commandment is for you.
If
you will not hear, and if you will not take it to
heart
to give glory to My name,” says the LORD
of
hosts, “I will send a curse upon you, and I will
curse
your blessings. Yes, I have cursed them
all
ready,
because you do not take it to heart.”
(NKJ)
Even
though this message from the LORD was given pacifically to the corrupt priests
of Judah who were using their influence to satisfy their own greed, I believe
it is also for those of us who profess our faith in Christ, because born again Christians
are priests, and we are held
accountable in our spheres of influence.This especially holds true for the
leaders of the Church, whom the Lord has called to shepherd His flock. Because of the moral decline in America, the
Church is also infected, and combined they are causing our country and the
world to suffer. This is a perfect example of God's judgment. The Lord has exposed many Christian leaders
and priests in our country who have defiled God's name by their corruption,
immoral living, and false doctrine teaching; ushering in God's curse.
All
the turmoil that has engulfed this world are the consequences of moral decay
and a worldwide rebellion against the Lord God and His Church. This rebellion and its consequences are
running their course, my friends, just as God’s Word has been telling us for
thousands of years. But there is Hope,
for we have a Savior in Jesus Christ our Lord.
He is our ticket out of this hellish world that is dominated by Satan
and those he enslaves. Our Savior will
return, not to save us this time, but to destroy evil and those who follow it, and
then usher in the last age of time. Our
King will bring in law and order and when times runs out, He will create new heavens
and a new earth where we will spend eternity living in the Presence of our
awesome God forever.
A Whisper of Hope
Honor
Me, dear child…by living a holy life. When you
do, I am on your side. When you don't, I
am against you. I paid a hefty price to
bring you into My Presence and I command you to live in My Way, for it is the
only Way to escape the punishment you deserve. Your obedience will not make
your journey any easier, but you can be confident in its heavenly destination.
1 Thessalonians
4:16-17
For
the Lord Himself will come down from heaven with a commanding
shout, with
the call of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God.
First, all the Christians
who have died will rise from their graves.
Then,
together with them, we
who are still alive and remain on the earth will be
caught up in the clouds to meet
the Lord in the air and remain with Him
forever. (NLT)
And He who sits on the throne said,
“Behold, I am making all things new.”
(Revelation 21:5)
