The Time Has Come

Is it creepy/stalker-ish to say that I think Rick Pino is my mentor when he doesn't even know I exist? :P LOL. I have him as a Facebook friend and I always find his status updates so profound.

Today's status says,
"God, deliver us from the wide path of a watered-down western Christianity that we may walk on the narrow road of true Biblical discipleship!" - Rick Pino

What a great word!!!

John 4:23 says: "A time will come, however, indeed it is already here, when the true (genuine) worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth (reality); for the Father is seeking just such people as these as His worshipers." (AMP)

When John Refers to "worshipers" - I don't believe he is just referring to those who sing peppy worship songs at church once a week. It requires so much more then that. It requires a heart that longs for Jesus and is willing to forsake all else for Him. We must turn our back on forfeit spirituality and false gods. We must pray for eyes to see what is real and what is good. Eyes to discern what is of the Lord.

I don't want watered down western Christianity.

The "churches" message has been a self-help message. How to be a better person. How to live your dream life. etc. etc. etc.
We have forgotten the simple, beautiful truth. The truth of which is Jesus Christ. The son of God.

Acts 4:10-12
Then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. He is "'the stone you builders rejected,which has become the capstone.^a]">[a]'^b]">[b] ¹²Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."

Anyways, these are just a few thoughts that came to my mind this morning.

I didn't go to work today, still not feeling very good. :( Anyways, will go get some rest.

Bless you!
