Do not speak ill against your pastor if you are offended by the Word of God!

I have started reading the book of Ezekiel today. And as I read of God's warning to Israel and how the Lord came to Ezekiel specifically in Chapter 3 starting in verse 16 - well, let me share with you what the Bible says:

Ezekiel 3:16-21

16 At the end of seven days the word of the LORD came to me: 17 " Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. 18 When I say to a wicked man,'You will surely die,' and you do not warn him or speak out to dissuade him from his evil ways in order to save his life, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. 19 But if you do warn the wicked man and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his evil ways, he will die for his sin; but you will have saved yourself.
20"Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and does evil, and I put a stumbling block before him, he will die. Since you did not warn him, he will die for his sin. The righteous things he did will not be remembered, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. 21 But if you do warn the righteous man not to sin and he does not sin, he will surely live because he took warning, and you will be saved yourself."

How many times, when out of obedience to God, and out of love do preachers give to us a message through God's Holy Scripture that people scoff at the message and refuse to believe God's Holy Truth? They believe themselves to be wise, but they are foolish and wicked in their thinking. Their thinking has been perverted by their love of their sin and love of the world and they refuse to accept the Truth. And one basic truth is that: what God says is evil and sin is evil and sin. And what God says is good and pure is good and pure. Do not speak ill of your preacher because you feel convicted by the Holy Spirit to turn from your sin - embrace him instead and thank him for his obedience to God and for sharing the Lord's message with you to save you from death, and inevitably from eternal damnation. Because God uses them to warn us!

For God so loved the world that he sent his only son to die on the cross for our sins, that who ever would believe in Him would not perish but have eternal life with Him in heaven! God has placed people in your life who can open your eyes to His truth - He will convict you through His word and His Holy Spirit....God goes out of His way to embrace us all and to lead us on a path of righteousness, an intimate relationship with Him and eternal life. All it takes from us is believing in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ who died for our sin who was crucified, buried and raised again on the 3rd day and ascended into heaven and is at the right hand of the Father. Ask for forgiveness of your sins, but more, REPENT...turn away from your sin.

So, I ask you to test yourself next time someone tries to witness to you through God's Word - if you are offended...stop and realize THEY are not judging you-God judges you - they are being obedient to God by giving his message - and out of love for you to warn you before it's too late. Will you be wise and listen when God is sending his warning to you? Ignorance and the rejection of God's Word as Truth have eternal consequences. ETERNAL....forever ....and ever....and ever. Do not be ignorant, seek God's wisdom and forgiveness through Jesus Christ. If you don't know how or need more information go to www.bigpreacherman.com.
