Your Job is Not to Feel Loved, But to Love

Our calling in this world is to seek God first (whom is the essence of love) and to love others.  The next time thoughts of nobody loves me comes into your head, end that pity party by realizing in this life Your job is not to feel loved, but to love.  Nobody can fill the God size hole in your heart but God.  You can attempt to fill that hole with man's flawed and conditional love, but it's a tiresome effort that only leads to heartbreak.  Seek God, and he will fill you with his love and that will overflow into love for others.

I love God and I love you and because of that I will preach the truth.  I will not sugar coat it.  I don't care what people think about me.  I don't need you to love me in return.  I don't need your approval or acceptance because I have God's.  What I need is for you to listen!  Jesus is coming soon, and most of you are not ready.  

Here are some of the lies that have infiltrated Christianity.  

  • LDS - Mormons - This church has many false beliefs.  I am not as familiar with their teachings as I am the churches below.  Here are the ones I know about.
    • They believe in reincarnation.  This is not Biblical (Hebrews 9:27).  You cannot through good works and many lifetimes, earn your way to become a God of your own planet.  There is only one God and it's not you!  This is idolatry because they believe in many Gods.  This is also a works based salvation which I will address both issues below.
    • They have replaced the Bible with other non-Biblical texts that have been prioritized over the Word of God.  
  • Jehovah Witnesses - This religion has multiple false teachings but these two are the most dangerous when it comes to salvation.
    • Jehovah Witnesses believe in a different Jesus than the one the Bible teaches (2 Corinthians 11:4).  They believe Jesus is a created being.  He is not to be worshiped because they don't believe he is God in the flesh.  See my Is Jesus God article.  
    • I believe they also have a works based salvation.  They need to earn their way into God's Kingdom through good works.  See my article called The Dangers of Working for Your Salvation.  
    • Jehovah Witnesses also have extra Biblical writings from the Watchtower that they lean on heavily for their doctrine.  Their New World Translation Bible has been altered to fit their beliefs.  Deuteronomy 4:2 forbids this.  Many Greek and Hebrew scholors have condemed this translation.  
  • Catholics - There are multiple false teachings in this church.  Here are the most worrisome.
    • Mary is not to be prayed to because she is not God.  Do not kneel in front of her statue.  Mary and the saints are sinful humans.  They are NOT omni-present and cannot hear your prayers.  You are summoning demons when you pray to them.  These practices are idolatry and God considers them adultery.  You are betrothed to Jesus and adultery is not allowed.  Him only shall you worship and serve.  Check out my article Modern Day Idolatry for more information on this.
    • Mary is also not a sinless co-Redeemer!!!!!!!!  
    • Purgatory is a works based salvation.  It's a false belief that you can take the punishment or purify yourself of your own sins!  If you are not trusting that Jesus took your punishment, you will end up in hell.  Please read my article The Dangers of Working For Your Salvation.
    • The Catholic church has added additional books to the Bible that even the Jewish scholars have deemed as non-Biblical.  Jesus quoted 24 different books in the Old Testament.  Not one time did he quote from the aprocrapha.  The aprocrapha needed to be included in their Bible to condone some of their non-Biblical beliefs.
  • Current Day Christians - The church of Laodicea is spoken about in Revelation 3:14-22.  God tells this lukewarm church he will spit it out of his mouth.  This church has thrown the Word of God out.  Jesus who is the Word is knocking on the door trying to get in.  There will be many professing Christians left after the rapture because they followed false teachings or loved the world more than God.  For more on the different rebukes and praises given by Jesus to different churches, you can read my article on the 7 Churches of Revelation.  Here are a few of the current problems I see within the churches today.
    • Having a knowledge that Jesus existed and died for your sins does not save you (James 2:19).  Salvation is not a head knowledge of Jesus but a relationship with him.  
    • You do not get into heaven because you are a good person.  Your goodness is like filthy rags compared to God's Holiness (Isaiah 64:6).  If you sin one time in your life, in thought, word or deed, you are headed to hell (James 2:10).  That would be every person who ever lived!  Just because you are not as bad as others, does not keep you out of hell.  God does not judge on a curve.  
    • Not all republicans are good people, but I guarantee there are no true Christians in the democrat party!  Either they don't know God or they are ignorant to anything political.  God does not change just because your sins are now legal.  Liberalism has entered some of the Protestant churches.  Don't let people tell you not to talk religion and politics.  The two are intertwined and affect every aspect of our lives.  People don't want to hear the truth because they love their sins.  Give people Jesus and after their hearts have been changed by God then they will be more open to hear political arguments.  
    • If you belong to a church that believes the church has replaced Israel, get up and leave!  Do not attend a church that is pro BDS.  I have seen people say they love God, but they have hatred in their heart for the Jewish people.  Something is wrong with that (John 13:35).  God Loves Israel and if your heart or pastor's heart is aligned with God, so will you.
Jesus kept the whole law and never sinned.  He did every work there was to obtain salvation.  What you need to do is seek a relationship with God and his Son (prayer and reading his Word), turn away from sin and false doctrines, and have faith (trust) in the finished work of Jesus. Trusting in your goodness or in the doctrines taught by man puts you on that broad road to hell (Matthew 7:13).  Salvation is a free gift (Romans 6:23).  You don't earn a gift, you just receive it.  When you are truly saved, your love for God will motivate you to do good works but you are never saved because of your good works.  If your read the Bible you will not fall for all the false doctrines out there.

The devil has sprinkled poison in the dough (Gospel) and passed it along as the bread of life (2 Peter 2:1, Jude 1:4, Matthew 7:15).  Know the bread you are consuming!  (Matthew 16:12, John 6:22-59)  Seek the Truth (John 14:16).  Read the Word (Joshua 1:8).  Develop a relationship with God through prayer (1 Thessalonians 5:17).  

The world is growing darker with sin and not much time remains before the midnight call of our bridegroom (Matthew 25:6 & Mark 13:35) which is the rapture of the church (1 Corinthians 15:52).  If you are a born again (John 3:3), Holy Spirit filled (John 7:39), Bible believing Christian (John 17:17), Speak boldly (Ephesians 6:20), preach the Word (Mark 16:15), fulfill your ministry (2 Timothy 4:5), before it's too late (Luke 10:2)!

2 Timothy 4:2-5, preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
