It’s good to see that God has given you a faith. I don’t yet know what kind of faith it is because I don’t know you.
However since God has given me faith in 2003 I have taken seriously the charge; “See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.” … Heb 3:12-13
And as such I challenge every brother and sister in Christ to not accept the mamby pamby, Leave it to Beaver, Walton’s Mountain, Disney Channel christianity that seems to proliferate wildly like some fiendishly inspired disease.
A false Christianity that simply carries over from the “American Dream” that fed the imaginations of millions now repackaged as a form of Christianity pulled loosely from scripture promising health, big houses, “good” jobs, and advanced schooling at a “good” college for all of your children.
“Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you stood your ground in a great contest in the face of suffering. Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated. You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions.So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.
