Friends, in Noah’s day, with lawlessness and rebellion all around him, Noah did not go engage in battle with the damned or try to use force to stop their insane debauchery. Noah just worked on the Ark as they laughed at him. All the way up until the Flood came and took them all away. I am asking The Lord to make me more diligent in building the Ark (metaphorically, meaning, strengthening my dependence on Him alone). ~Clark Albritton
I spotted this strong wisdom this morning and it answered a question that’s been burning in my brain for years. As we watch this world sail blithely into destruction, many of us strive to hold it back. We get politically involved, we start blogs, we search the word of God. I’ve long since written off Drag Queens and school boards and have honed in on fellow Christians who have fallen in love with a fake Jesus.
I’ve been singled out from the pulpit for being divisive, told I was blaspheming the Holy Spirit, and called a pharisee. And that’s just from friends!
Here’s the problem, divisiveness comes from introducing new doctrines, not defending sound Biblical doctrine.
If we can’t have unity and agreement upon The Truth then we can’t have unity. True unity is in the unity of the Spirit of Truth.
“Now I urge you, brethren, keep your eye on those who
cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the teaching which you learned, and turn away from them.
For such men are slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of their own appetites; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.”
Romans 16:17-18Divisiveness is going beyond what is written. It is going outside the boundary of the Truth of Gods written Word. Those who do such a thing are not true servants of God, in fact they have not God (2 John 9) ~The Bible In Context
I’ve also read in Revelation, as John’s encounter is wrapping up it says: “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand. He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.” ~Rev. 22:10-11
If you want to follow a fake Jesus, false prophets and teachers who feel they have a new revelation, a fresh take on God, be my guest.
I’ll be over here, building a boat.
