Aren’t you tired of religion?

Hebrews 13:11-14
12 And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood. 13 Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore. 14 For here we do not have an enduring city but we are looking for the city that is to come.

The reason Jesus suffered outside the gate of Jerusalem, is because he rejected empty religion. The indictment in 2015 is that too many churches are majoring in empty religion and minoring in salvation of Souls.  Too many are being invited to church services, choir annuals, anniversaries, BBQs and Picnics. Before we send out an invitation to church we should invite family members to Christ.

Grandpa, uncle, sister, brother, friends and coworkers will wind up in hell because too many church members spent too much time inviting them to church and not to Christ. Salvation is in Jesus only.
All thru the New Testament, people were invited to come to Christ.  

I would rather hurt your feelings now with the uncompromising truth of Jesus Christ, and give you a chance to enter into the glorious Kingdom of God for all eternity than to comfort you with a lie and you wind up suffering in an eternal hell.

The churches mandate from God is to say what He says, not what society wants to hear. 

There should come a time when you get sick and tired of empty religion and desire the real deal.
You should be sick of program after program. Somebody ought to be hungry for God today. If you are fed up with just doing church, then we invite you to come to Jesus. If you open your heart right now, He will come in.

A couple of weeks ago my wife’s engine light came on. I told her I’d take care of it. I purposely waited a couple of weeks before moving on this. I took time to pray. I was praying whether to take it to Mazda or find a mechanic that would not charge so much. God spoke and said take it to Mazda. I then prayed for my desires according to Mark 11. I prayed to have them fix the car with no cost to me. Now the car is 5 years old, it’s out of warranty. Arriving at Mazda last Thursday, right off the bat the service guy tells me it will be 119 dollars just to diagnose the problem. My first thought was to put it in reverse and find somebody else, but God said Mazda, so I said go ahead. As I waited I prayed again, Lord what I am asking for is to have it fixed with no cost. ( I was thinking it was something minor. ) After an hour an a half of waiting the service guy came out and said they found the problem. A part had gone out and they have already ordered the part and it will be

In Christ, not only can you recover, but you can also be used to help other people recover. Be a living example of a thankful person who always recovers from setbacks no matter how difficult or frequent they are. Don’t ever say, “I just cannot go on.” Instead, say, “I can do whatever I need to do through Christ. I will never quit, because God is on my side.”

Prayer of Thanks: Father, thank You that You bring healing in my life and You can create beauty from ashes. I pray that You will help me press on, refusing to quit. I want to use my experiences to help others find the same healing that I have found.

Know that God loves you.
