Sometimes when we sit to hear the Word of God preached to us ,it is what is not been said. Over the years things in churches have changed. I truly cannot say it is for the best. I try to be fair as i listen yet somehow i truly cannot say that the full council of God is being brought to us. Some things i noticed.....Matthew chapter 16. Especially verses 24 thru 27. Take up our crosses and follow Jesus. But first think on this,What is a man profited if he should gain the entire world and lose his own soul? Or what shall he give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man ACCORDING to his works.These are just a few of the words i have not heard in the pulpit in a long time. Something like 30 to 40 years.
I did not say truths were not preached. I just said certain ones have been left out. I do not care if we are saved.....all mankind needs to be reminded of the importance of these words ,spoken by Christ himself. If i gain all the riches of this world, but did not have Christ living in my soul, i would be eternally lost and be the poorest soul in existence. If your saved today,do not forget why you have to trust Jesus every day every second. If your lost, read these words,get on your knees and cry out to a merciful God who is waiting to hear from you.Repent and follow Him.That's where the real riches are.
May God bless you and keep you under His powerful Arms. (Amen)
