ROMANS 1 MAKING IT CLEAR WHO IS AT FAULT
The judgment of men is one of the least talked about things within the church. It has gone the same root as the old "Fire and Brimstone" messages that I used to hear in the Bible Belt area I grew up in...we just don't hear them any more.
I blame a lot of the reason for that upon the Politically correct attitudes that we have, and that we are just too sensitive to the feelings of groups of people today to stand up for the truth. Frankly I am proud to be a part of a group of people who have been doing battle against that mind set for several years now.
We have been talking about a more personal role that needs to be played between us and God; one which demands more from us than just a verbal commitment, or even a financial commitment, but a life commitment. I really feel however for many people they just don't know where to start to develop such a life style. It is to those people and to those whom God has chosen to use to teach them about that life style that I am called to share the truth of the word. In the last message I shared some of the word in Romans 1:18-23 concerning how God has given us the testimony of how His word is truthful through the nature that He has created all around us.
We also know that this world will never understand that God is testifying to His word through the nature He has created because of their own warping of mind and intent they have as men and women to control all they see. It is not that they cannot see the beauty of nature or the greatness of His glory...they simply will not glorify God because of their own The real problem with attitudepride in self. This pride in self is simply another sign that shows me the signs of the time is closing in for Christ to come. Each small attitude shift, and each move made by men and women toward self importance, and self wisdom shows me the reasons for why the world is turning from belief and relationship with God, and to a certain death.
The thinking of people today seems to be completely off when we consider the reasons for why they are doing the things they do. It seems that people can no longer really get to the point of why they believe in something, but can only name off the symptoms of what needs to be fixed. The real problem is with a wrong attitude which deals with self sin. We will be able to see that ever more clearly as time goes on, but for now we need to come back to square one and once again establish who God is in all of this. As we realize that most everything that is being done wrong us being done wrong by us perhaps we can once again turn toward the perfection of a loving God...at least that should be true for those who have God's Spirit alive within them. Can you still see the truth in your life? I pray that you can...may you richly bless God through your life in Him.
