God’s cry to mankind has always been “Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?” Psalms 94:16
Why is that so many today who call themselves Christians say that those who boldly call sin sin and call out the sinners to repent should not do so? They say that people should not offend others in this manner. This logic fails without any Biblical support. They are essentially stating that Jesus himself was wrong to do this. In truth Jesus was an offense to those He confronted. This begs to reason that more Christians ought to be doing the same…
As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. Romans 9:33
People say that exposing sin in others in order to expose that they are depraved before a holy and righteous God is somehow divisive. Jesus came to divide and we should be doing the same. Without bringing someone to the realization that they are sinners via God’s law then the cross will make no sense at all.
Mat 10:34-35 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. Romans 7:7
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. Psalms 19:7
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 1 Corthians 1:18
In fact we ought to be reproving and rebuking sinners more often, but this is not happening due to the false teaching and watering down of the Gospel by today’s so-call churches.
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. Ephesians 5:11
Titus 1:10-13 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
People are caught up so much in humanistic thinking that they believe that if you point out the sins in someone’s life that it is somehow hateful and wrong but does that really make us an enemy to those whom we are trying to reach? Those we are trying to save?
Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? Galatians 4:16
Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. 1 Corinthians 15:34
Those who I am talking to, know who they are. There are many of you who weary our Lord rather than please Him. You need to wake up so that God can finally work boldly through.
Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment? Malachi 2:17
Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. Ephesians 5:14
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16
There is a war going on and by defending the world at any level puts you at war with God as well. So if you are a compromising watered down and lukewarm Christian then you are not a Christian at all, be sure of that. This is not my opinion but the Bible’s. Your argument should not be with me but with God.
James 4:4-8 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Revelation 3:16
He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. Luke 11:23
Charles Spurgeon said it this way: “Have you no wish for others to be saved? Then you are not saved yourself. Be sure of that.”
So stop just pretending to be a Christian and step up and get in the world’s face and do everything you can to pull to safety those who are heading towards the wrath of God, those who are headed for the flames of eternity.
Stop wearying God.
