 That
is if you can find the salt!
Nearly half the young men in this photo are self-professed Christians
(two are "pastors")! The remaining are satanists, heavy metal and punk
rock musicians. You can also find "Gothic" Christian sites devoted to
all things melancholic and dark!
Jesus said:
“You are
the salt of the earth;
but if the salt loses its flavor,
how shall it be seasoned?
It is then
good for
nothing
but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men."
Matthew 5:13
"So likewise,
whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be
my disciple. Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour,
wherewith shall it be seasoned? It is neither fit for the land, nor yet
for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath
ears to hear, let him hear."
Luke 14:33-35
If the "flavor" of the
church is indistinguishable from the world what good is it? It is as
Jesus said "good for nothing" and not "fit for the dunghill". The
current trend in youth ministry should be more than alarming to all
parents who "have ears to hear" what the Lord has already said and
continues to say to His bride, the church.
As the return of
Christ draws nearer it seems God is indeed turning mankind over to his
reprobate mind. There is definitely a "strong delusion" and many are
believing the lie because they "love not the TRUTH".
THE
TRUTH said:
-
"And
be not conformed
to this world:
but be ye
transformed
by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and
acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
Romans 12:2
Strong's Hebrew & Greek Dictionary
Conformed:
G4964 / συσχηματίζω / suschēmatizō
/soos-khay-mat-id'-zo
From
G4862 and a derivative of G4976;
to fashion alike,
that is, conform to the same pattern (figuratively): - conform to,
fashion self according to.
Transformed:
G3339 /μεταμορφόω / metamorphoō
/ met-am-or-fo'-o
From
G3326 and G3445; to transform (literally or figuratively
"metamorphose"): -
change,
transfigure, transform.
-
"And
what agreement hath the temple of
God with idols? for ye are
the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them,
and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my
people. Wherefore
come out
from among them, and be ye separate,
saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive
you."
2 Corinthians
6:16-17
-
"And I heard another voice
from heaven, saying,
Come out of her, my people, that ye
be not partakers of her sins,
and that ye receive not of her plagues."
Revelation 18:4
This young
"preacher of the gospel" states that god showed him outside of a punk
rock concert that those leaving were "sheep without a shepherd". Seems
his first response was to remind god that he "hated going to church",
but he surrendered and started his church. This video is a stunning
example of how the One True and Holy God is allowing this delusion and
how more and more they will believe the lie!

May God have mercy
and grant repentance to the many, many who are being led astray by their
friendship with the world. Come out while there is still an opportunity.
-
"Ye adulterers and
adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity
with God?
whosoever therefore will be a
friend of the world is the enemy of God."
James 4:4
-
"Enter
ye in at the strait gate:
for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to
destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because
strait is
the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few
there be that find it.
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but
inwardly they are ravening wolves."
Matthew 7:13-15
-
"Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that entereth not by the door
into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a
thief and a robber.
But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To
him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth
his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth
his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for
they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will
flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. This parable
spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were
which he spake unto them. Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily,
verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep."
John 10:1-7
There is ONE gate
(door) by which to enter the Kingdom of God and it is narrow and
requires those who enter to be transformed not conformed to this world.
Oh, there are other gates, but I believe they are the "gates of hell"
the church should withstand.
-
"Then said one unto him, Lord, are there
few that be saved? And he said unto them; strive to
enter in at the strait gate:
for
many,
I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able."
Luke 13:23-24
Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus. |
