We are all sinners..and if we make the effort to follow Christ, Christ has mercy and His grace will help us to make the changes we need to make.
A lot of times people who do these “Fox hole” prayers , eventually come around and are pulled—attracted to the Christian way.
Oh exactly- I agree. We are told to expect that we will be brought to our knees and cry out to God. I agree.
But the people who mouth prayers- and pay no respect to the teachings of Jesus, are simply paying lip service.
Rick Warren, for example, can pray for whatever he wants to pray for- but those prayers are going to fall flat.
Know why?
Because he blasphemes the Lord all of the time- while he spreads false hope and teachings and reaps huge praise and benefits.
The Lord is not mocked.
And I pray Rick Warren repents and falls to his knees and cries out- to the Lord and repents and turns toward God.
And God will hear him and forgive him. No doubt. But he has to take the steps everyone else has to take.
I am not going to lie about it.
