Being A Lost Soul Is Not A Laughing Matter By Pastor Jeff Arnold, Gainesville, FL The Lord Jesus seemingly went to great lengths to challenge the hearers of that day to do EVERYTHING possible NOT TO FIND THEMSELVES LOST FOREVER. In our present day, many folks attending church seem to act and think that being LOST is not REALITY and that GOD IS JUST TOO GOOD to allow such a thing to happen. I warn all of you; God will not forsake HIS PROMISE OF FAIR JUDGMENT over HIS OWN KINDNESS. It is very evident that God wants all to be SAVED, but He is not going to CHANGE THE RULES for a generation that thinks it can LIVE LOOSE OR UNGODLY and still be READY FOR HIS COMING. My heart is greatly moved as I watch the SPIRITUAL LEVEL of some seem to DIMINISH FURTHER, and with no sense of SHAME OR FEAR. The longer one lives a certain way, the easier it becomes to believe that GOD MUST NOT CARE, but I WARN YOU as best I can; GOD IS NOT MOCKED, SIN WILL BE DEALT WITH. I am issuing a CRY for all of us to seek the FACE OF GOD for a RENEWAL AND REVIVAL within our own hearts and spirits. We must again get INFUSED WITH HOLY FIRE AND ZEAL if we plan to be whatever God has designed for us to become. Do not be fooled over the fact – NO BIG SINS have been done – for we all can EASILY DRIFT into a level of UNGUARDED, LOOSE LIVING. Recent events have challenged me to EXAMINE my DESIRES, LEVEL OF DEDICATION, and my own WILLINGNESS to make any and all CHANGES needed. I cannot afford to allow the shame level of some to IMPACT my drives and desires; I must be SAVED no matter what. Both HEAVEN AND HELL are real, the possibility of going to either place lies within each of us, TRADITION, BIBLE KNOWLEDGE AND LONGEVITY will not be the DETERMINING FACTORS, our CONNECTION to GOD and our pouring out of our lives for HIM WILL BE…. We all can have more KNOWLEDGE than we apply into our actual living; we must SEEK GOD UNTIL something moves us into PROPER CHANGE. While this world laughs its way into Hell, and some joke about it, GOD IS DEAD SERIOUS, DO NOT END UP LOST, PLEASE…. Ó 2004 J.W. Arnold |
