I love it when Christians hate hearing the gospel of Jesus.
CHINOS
CHristians In Name Only
The good news for them is all they have to do is make an honest attempt to follow the teachings of Jesus instead of settling for “thoughts and prayers”,
Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; go away from me, you who behave lawlessly.’
And what does it mean to “do the will of my [Jesus’] Father in heaven.”?
The prophet Micah puts it this way:
8 He has told you, O mortal, what is good,
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice and to love kindness
and to walk humbly with your God?
Break down what Jesus taught- in his words, his actions and parables, and that’s pretty much what you get.
But stuffed shirt Republican Pharisees who are collectively enacting the opposite of kindness, justice and humility- are arrayed against a sermon by Rev. Budde that lifted up precisely these virtues that Jesus so exhaustively preached.
They worship Jesus with their lips, but their hearts are far from him.
As if simply saying some magic words like “I accept Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and savior” will somehow save them from the wrath to come
It won’t
