God's Will For Man - “Hell’s Too Hot, Have You Forgot”

Christianity is such a beautiful thing, and as wonderful and literally “life changing” as it is, some so-often spot it’s pure and in a sense, white raiment-like contents. For those around the world, who practice such unpleasing behaviors contrary to the original foundation of faith, and the word and will of the lord, God, wait a grim and bleak eternity of overwhelming regret.
In all my collective works, I have but all focused on the age old, “preaching to the choir perspective.” Mathew 7:22, “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works?” Mathew 7:23, “And then will I profess unto them I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity, as stated in Holy Scripture.
The point was directly made, no prerequisites needed. The common knowledge of an everyday Christian could in turn interpret the meaning, so the question that needs to be asked is, “Why is there a problem, when we already know how to fix it?” The Christian leaders of our day and age are more than theoretically, shrinking from their moral responsibilities. Pastors, Bishops, Worship leaders and many other affiliated members of the American and foreign belief in one God, has since spiraled out of control, resulting in numerous accounts of religious debacles nationally known throughout history.
Due to the specific nature of theses particular situations, one ponders, why anyone would support a cause they deliberately contributes to tearing down through viciously oriented practices? It is truly a Christian leaders job to help, not hurt, fulfilling their sincere, heartfelt promise made to God. However, such promises were intentionally broken when the Catholic ring of sexual abuse cases comes to mind. The same can be said here in America, covering the trail of cult leaders and their murdered victims in our wake.
This issue opens up a can of unwanted worms, if I do say so myself, but without attending to such gaping wounds, how can the Christian name ever truly survive. We can no longer be strong-armed nor blind-sided by our fear to speak out. The damage may have already been done, but it doesn’t have to continue its course of destructive action. The power is in our hands to fight for what we believe in, but most importantly, the moral lawfulness and commandments God established since the beginning of time.
The immorality of our society my not always be seen, but the stench of corruption can almost always be sniffed out by all who fight against it, guided by the spiritual senses not the physical ones. Individuals who are not directly Christian, but are open to becoming connected to Christ, are the main casualties of an unnecessary war. The shortcomings and sins committed by the so-called, self-proclaimed pioneers of faith and forgiveness are actually stumbling blocks for those who witness their fall from grace.
To all the Christian leaders around the world, time isn’t the only thing that is at hand. The innocent blood of many who were lost by your displeasing actions, is a price you can’t afford to pay. And to all that still remain, confused and abused, you too have a choice to make, not clinging to a dismal past, for what you think rectifies your wicked works.
There are many paths we all chose when traveling the rugged road called life, but it’s ultimately up to us where we end up. If you are a member, that attentively listens to your pastor during church services on Sunday morning, or maybe, a Worship Leader, who councils troubled teens on how to restore and rebuild a better life… consider asking yourself a series of questions, “what am I preaching, is my pastor teaching and am I reaching?”
If just the thought of those question leaves you a bit stumped, or with a temporary loss for words, please acknowledge your faults and relinquish every one of your sins, because “Hell’s too hot, have you forgot?”
