The absolute truth.
I don't know what leads men to follow the doctrines of men.
The sin of pride is what prevents men from submitting themselves to Christ to become adherents of dogmas and false doctrines.
In the case of the Episcopal Church the sin of pride is burning pretty hot right now. To confirm an openly gay priest as a bishop is to dismiss clear scriptural commandments regarding homosexuality. Instead of a church built on the rock of God's Word, we are witnessing a church built on the shifting sands of political expediency and political correctness.
What's currently happening in the Episcopal Church was pretty disturbing to me. I mean don't these people read their Bibles? Don't they know that they turned their backs on God by willful disregard of His Word? Then I realized that is not the men who voted to confirm a gay priest as a bishop who are in control. It is God who is in control. It is God who is separating the wheat from the chaff. It is God who is allowing us the privilege of chosing whom we serve. Are we to serve at His altar? Or are we to serve at the altar of Diversity and Multiculturalism? We are at the beginning of the end. The contrasts between Righteousness and Unrighteousness have never been greater, and the choice has never been more clear cut.
Now, I write all this with a real aching sense of my own arrogant sinfulness, my inability to truly submit myself to God's will, my lackluster performance as an inspiring role model for others, both Christians and non-Christians, in my life. But I know where the lines are drawn, even those lines I step across. I know through prayer, through Bible study, through the presence of the Holy Spirit, through my profound and nearly unintelligible relationship with Christ Himself, what the boundaries are and what is acceptable and unacceptable in His eyes.
I know enough to know that we all sin, and I know enough to know that to justify and defend sin is something that God cannot tolerate:
God is not to be mocked. Certain men are now building a false church on false principles with false teachings. The Holy Spirit will guide those with ears to hear and eyes to see to Presbyterian, Lutheran, Baptist, Catholic, Pentecostal (i.e., Christian) Churches where the message of salvation for mankind through Christ takes precedent over the left's social and political agenda.
The Episcopal Church is being used by Lucifer in an attempt to divide Christians. I pray that God use the division in the Episcopal Church to bring all believers back to a deeper, stronger, more powerful relationship with Him.
In Christ's name, we give You all the praise and glory,
Amen
