06/17/16 GOD'S WAY vs. SATAN'S WAY
How sad when a person with great talent, ability and opportunity (which all came from God), tells his/her coach (music, sports, theatrics, etc.) that he wants to be a success, a star, a super star, but then he refuses to submit to the training, coaching, practice and discipline that is essential to success.
I see more and more "Christians" today who want to be either "lone wolf Christians" or part of a rag tag mob, which calls itself a church, and I see less and less believers who are willing to dedicate themselves to Biblical discipleship and churchmanship.
Since they are refusing to submit to the will of God (Who is the One Who planned, designed, created, equipped, and rules His Church), then it is no wonder why people fail to be what God wants them to be, and why people ruin their own lives and the lives of their families.
The same problem of the Garden exists today. DISOBEDIENCE TO GOD'S REVELATION.
Being a Christian is being a follower of Christ, His word, His Spirit and His chosen, called, equipped, gifted and anointed spiritual leadership. As a servant of God, I am not trying to get people to please me, but rather to be faithful to God's revelation.
IT AIN'T OPTIONAL, IT IS OBLIGATORY.
