| Rebels Rebels are everywhere! They claim to be Christians and the claim to be ministers but they will not submit to the Lord or his Word or his Spirit!. In my time as a minister I have tried to rightfully require of my minister brethren to follow the Word and submit themselves to God. For the most part I have met with nothing but opposition. They generally characterize any rebuke or reproof as an "attack". They accuse me of not having love if I dare tell them they are preaching error or acting in an unchristian way. None of them will go to the scriptures with me or anyone else to examine these rebukes to see if they are true. They do not want the truth or care for it. these are spoken of in Jude: Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. Jude 1:12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; Their followers are just as bad. They are deceived and care nothing for the truth. Jude 1:16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage. We need to follow Jude's admonitions here. Jude 1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. Is your pastor or teacher submitted to the truth? Pray that God show you. Do not suffer these rebels a moment. R.S. Neaville 09/09/2007 www.propheticjournal.net |
