1 John 2:15-17
“15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.”
We are in the season of the year when many of God's people will forsake the truth of God's Word for their love of the world. Pastor's who once preached the truth are now leading their congregations down the slippery slope of letting a little leaven into the church they pastor.
We are told many in the world are seeking God this time of year. But, if that be the case then why are there so many man made lies told about our Lord's birth? Why are God's people not out there proclaiming the truth of God's Word instead of following the doctrines of devils? How can we expect people to believe the the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ when we refuse to take a stand for the truth of His earthly birth?
Even the unsaved see the hypocrisy of the religious world during this time. In the early chapters of the Book of Matthew and the Book of Luke we see the story of our Lord's birth laid out very simply in words even a child can understand. Yet, “educated” adults have knowingly changed the story to suit their own narrative. It is sad there are so many who rightfully divide the truth of God's Word throughout the year, but when it comes to the end of the year and the desire to draw a crowd they will come up with every excuse imaginable to flee the truth for the love of the world.
It all comes down to this: “the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.”
Praise ye the Lord!!!
