The Great Day of Reckoning for the Whole Church

The Great Day of Reckoning for the Whole Church


My friends,

So it seems that most of the world is watching Rome right now. How do you feel about what is going on in the church? Before I start I need to remind everyone that I am not a Roman Catholic Priest. I speak to defend truth regardless of where it is. My Lord Jesus is truth, He is wisdom, He is salvation, He is hope. Defending the truth is defending Jesus.

So let me now say this; if you are gloating over Rome, your day is coming like a thief in the night. Does corruption in the church need to be stamped out? Of course it does. Everyone knows this but is corruption spread throughout the whole Body of Christ? Of course it is and that includes inside of the gloaters.

What does Almighty God say regarding those whom He loves? Does He not say that He will chastise them? Chastisement does not mean hatred. It means love. If you are not chastised perhaps then you should take a full account of your standing with Almighty God. If you are great and/or perfect in your own eyes, you may be standing outside of God.

If you have survived untouched regardless of your own sins, you may be standing outside of God. No one is sinless. Where is it said that God will chastise His own rather than give to them all of their desires and riches in this life?

Amos
For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.

I Peter 4
17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

These are just two examples. God judges and chastises those who are written in the Book of Life. Are you praying for those who love the Lord Jesus and are a part of the Roman church? If not, why not? If what we see is the beginning of the Great Day of Reckoning, then God is beginning with the House of the Lord. Rome is the biggest. If it is the beginning of the Great Day of Reckoning, everyone else will have their day in some way, shape, or form. Do not gloat if you do not have your day here in this life;

It may be that you are standing outside of Almighty God and your day will come on the Dreaded Day of Judgment, it will be worse on that day for you and me if we do not confess, repent, and pray not just for ourselves but for the whole Body of Christ.  The Chastisement may just be beginning.

Be blessed and be a blessing, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

We must live our faith in spite of those who make the statement that they do not need God in their life to do good. We who believe still need our Savior because we sin everyday whether in thought, word or deed. There is no amount of good that we can do that will erase our sin once we have committed it. There is only our faith in Christ Jesus, our recognition of our sin, our confession, and repentance. This is our faith.

God can do all things; there is no situation that we get ourselves into that God cannot help us out of. Don’t think though that if there is some earthly penalty that we must pay that we will escape this because we suddenly come to God for help. We simply must have the faith and believe. Keep in mind however; God's plan is far above ours. We suffer and we have plenty coming based on what God Himself has in store for us whether it is for purging, for testing, or for reward or necessity for our life. God is in control.

We do not know when this will end and the new beginning will be, in spite of the many modern prophets who make a living selling Jesus and the destruction of the world; we have no clue when it will be. In the meantime, it rains on us all, haters and lovers of Jesus. The sun shines on us all, haters and lovers of Jesus. We remain together in this world until that day. So take a lesson from the readings. Continue to praise and worship Jesus the Christ and the Father through Him. Never cease to pray and live according to the gospel. Allow the Holy Ghost to guide you. Love God with all of your heart, with all of your soul, with all of your mind, and with all of your strength; love your neighbor as yourself. You never know whose life you will change because of this love of God in you.

The light has entered the world and the times; they are a-changing. 

If one does not have love for the soul of mankind and the desire that all come to the truth than one does not have Christ in them fully.

Little children, love one another; because this is our Lord’s command and if you fulfill this, nothing else is needed. Through love and because of love we will follow all of the commandments that we have been given. They are written on our hearts by the hand of Almighty God. We simply need to see them within us and follow.

Remember; if we confess our sins and repent, he is faithful and just, to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all iniquity.

May the peace of our Lord Jesus the Christ be with you throughout this day and the rest of your life. May the Holy Spirit fill us all to overflowing so that everyone in whose path we cross may receive a blessing from our Lord Jesus the Christ.

In Christ.
