WORKING FAITH: Seeker-Sensitive Christianity!?!





Better Music
Lower Expectations
And
Shorter Service
Are Denizens Of Seeker-Sensitive Church
You Know
That Happening Congregation
Where People Get High On Life
Expect The Blessings Of The Lord
But
Do Not Desire The Interventional
Transformational, Regenerative, Relationship
That Comes Of Personally, Intimately,
Knowing The Lord Christ!

The All-About-Me Cry 
Causes The Lord Christ Real Shame:

Self Is Not A Sinner!
Sin Is Subjective!
Personal Truth Is Paramount!

The Living Word Of Truth
Is
On The Block Called Dismount!

Surprise And Shock ...

The Question Was Asked
Supposedly Sincerely:

If Almighty God Knows Everything
Why Can't He Set Himself
A Different Standard
A Different Set Of Rules
So That He Doesn't Have To Be Unkind
And, In His Sense Of Justice
Destroy Those Who Choose To Break His Laws!?!

News Flash :
The Handmade Pot
Called Its Maker
Black, Black, Black!

Did Somebody Just Say ... Awwwwkward!?!

The Lord Of Earth And Glory
Is 
Seeking After Us
And
We Should Be Seeking After Him
Not Calling Him To Follow Us!

He Says In The Plain Truth Text
He That Seeks Me
Shall Find Me
When He Seeks After Me
With All Of His Heart!

And

The Question Must Be Asked:




Brethren,

The Living God Holds Our Lives In His Hands
And
He Does Not Rearrange His Schedule
To Suit Our Sinful Proclivities
Or Our Then-Fashionable Felt Needs!

It Is, Indeed, A Presumptuous Sort
Who Dares To Advance The Thought That
The Eternal God Operates ... Or Should Operate
According To Whatever Illuminated Nonsense
Is 
Being Proffered As The Soup De Jour
The Flavor Of The Month
The Trend Of The Hour!


Time To Get Real ...

Get Away, Satan!
Depart! Depart!
You Have No Shares In Me
No Matter If You Sing As The Lark
You Bold Liar Strumming The Lyre!
You Are Damned ... Condemned
And
Your End Is In The Prepared For You Funeral-Pyre
Lake Burning With Brimstone And Fire!


PRAYER:

Father,
I Am Seeking Salvation!
I Am Seeking From Sin To Be Set Free!
I Am Seeking The Lord Christ As My Savior
And
To Be Cleansed Of Known Sin
I'm Using My Prayer Of Confession And Repentance
As The Wash-Water-Bearing Laver!

Please Help Me Your Truth To Savor!
Help Me In The Ripe Fields Of Earth To Labor!
Help Me The Good News Gospel
To Tell My Near And Far-Off Neighbor
And
Help Me Most Of All
Never, Ever, Again
With Known Sin By Caprice
To Blithely Caper! 

I Need You, Lord!
I Love You!
Bless Me To Enjoy The Heavenly Home
In The Time Appointed
For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
That I Humbly, Prayerfully, Plead!
I See My Real Need!
AMEN!
