Philippians 2:20-21, “For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state. For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.”
The Apostle Paul is writing to the church at Philippi under the inspiration
of the Spirit of God. In Philippians 2:21 Paul states that “all
seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.” What are the
things which are Jesus Christ's? Philippians 2:5-6 sheds some light
on the matter, “Look not every man on his own things, but every man also
on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ
Jesus.” And in verse 20 we read, “For I have no man likeminded, who
will naturally care for your state.” Paul was sincerely concerned about
the believers at Philippi. Paul cared. Caring is the hallmark character
trait of being a genuine child of God. Paul was a genuine man of God.
In sharp contrast, most ministers today are only in the clergy for selfish gain. Money is the main issue to them. I was saddened when a young man entered the pastorate of a large church, and the first thing he did was write over a dozen books on money and tithing (perverting the Scriptures in an attempt to financially squeeze the life out of his congregation). Whatever happened to the Godhead, Christ's deity, the virgin birth, and Jesus' bodily resurrection? Most pastors have stopped preaching the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith.
You'll never hear Joel Osteen teach the
Doctrine of Christ; but
rather, a bunch of secular psychology and positive-thinking, mumbo-jumbo,
babble. America's ministers need to get back to preaching the Word of God.
Ironically, the word “minister” means servant; but they mostly serve
themselves as Paul said in Philippians 2:21. Jesus had the mindset of living
for others (Philippians 2:4-5).
Caring Enough to Speak Out Against Government Crimes
Psalm 94:16 and Ephesians 5:11 command us to RISE UP and REFUTE all works of darkness. Our loyalty ought to be toward God, and not man. Most ministers are afraid of their congregations, refusing to preach THE TRUTH as they're supposed to. They're more interested in golf-outings and sea-cruises. It is a crying shame what America's pulpits have deteriorated to, with few exceptions. Over 26,000 ignorant pastors have already signed on to join the government's Clergy Response Teams, intended to quell any public outrage and uprising when our nation's economy implodes.
Why is it that the government can interfere with the churches; but the churches are reminded about separation of church and state every time a pastor speaks out against government crimes. We've heard the term “government corruption” for so long that it has become meaningless. Let's call the evils going on in Washington D.C. what they are... CRIMES against the American people!!!
Few pastors realize that the entire premise behind the creation of the 501c3 state-licensed business (which basically includes every legally recognized church in America today) was to control the churches, prohibiting pastors from speaking out publicly against government evils and crimes (under the bogus claim of separation of church and state). Clergy Response Teams are nothing less than the government infiltrating our churches, reminding pastors that Romans 13 teaches obedience to government.
This is unbelievable. Since when does the government have an interest in what is being preached from America's pulpits? It is obvious that something big and bad is coming. Since America's pastors have the power of influence, the powers that be want to recruit as many of the clergy as possible. Shame on the pastor who blindly says he supports government leaders, completely turning a bland eye to the blatant government crimes being committed against its citizens.
The saddest part is that most pastors feel honored to get into bed with the government. It's rotten, evil and apostasy! There is no evil today like the evils happening in our federal government. Over one million Iraqi's have been slaughtered (many tortured) on the basis of lies, false witness. It was even reported in 2009 in the news that the U.S. military raped women and children, abusing them sexually with phosphorescent tubes and other objects, to obtain forced confessions out of prisoners at Abu Ghraib. This world is saturated with sin (1st John 5:19).
Our nation has innocent blood on its hands. Do you care? Have you spoken out? God hates everything going on with the Iraqi war...
- Exodus 20:13, “Thou shalt not kill.” (1,421,933 dead as of January 2011)
- Exodus 20:15, “Thou shalt not steal.” (Iraq's $Trillions in oil is being stolen)
- Exodus 20:16, “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.” (still no WMD's)
- Exodus 20:17, “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.”
Most Americans couldn't care less, and that includes its apostate ministers. If you are a born-again Christiana and don't get upset over all these evils, then you're not paying attention my friend.
A pastor who makes money an issue
will be in denial, rationalizing his apostasy. Christian people who are changing toward the left are always in
denial. “We're not changing,” they exclaim, but they most certainly
are changing. They are moving toward apostasy, away from God. You
cannot move away from the truth without moving away from God. Likewise, as
a person draws nearer to God, the truth will become more dear to them.
Communist Subversion Behind America's Moral and Economic Destruction
Romans 13 does not teach submission only to government; but rather, to the “higher powers” if you have a trustworthy King James Bible. The New International Version (NIV) perverts Romans 13:1 to say “governing authorities,” but that is not what the Bible says at all. God is the highest authority, and the Bill of Rights and U.S. Constitution are higher powers than the federal government. Whatever happened to “We the People”?
I'll tell you what happened, the Communists scum behind the New World Order's subversion of America deliberately introduced feminism, Rock 'N' Roll, Hollywood, homosexuality, pornography, and every form of immorality imaginable into American society to destroy families. That's why they removed the Bible and prayer from our schools in 1963. That's why evolution has replaced the Bible, and Santa Claus has replaced Jesus, and the TV has replaced the family dinner table, et cetera. America has gone to hell. That's why they legalized abortion. Consequently, the American people today are amongst the most vile, mentally-ill, and evil in the world. In our weakened, dumbed-down, and degenerate state as a culture, we have become vulnerable and open prey for the criminal Global elite.
The truth is the light. Jesus proclaimed to be the Truth (John 14:6) and the Light (John 8:12). Do you love the truth? Are you willing to lose financial support by preaching the whole truth? What truth are you filtering from your congregation, and from your students? America is going to Hell, and cultured fancy churches aren't going to save the day.
Sadly, anything can be justified if someone is willing to distort the truth. What is your excuse? Why aren't you warning your people, your students, your congregation, about the attack against our freedoms in America? Did you know that HR 254 has just been introduced to legislatures? If passed, it will guarantee that Christians who preach against the sin of homosexuality will go to prison.
HR 6166 has already been passed into law, which may keep you in prison indefinitely. Yet, America's biggest churches, who could do the most good, are eerily silent concerning these grave evils upon us. They are more concerned about buying chandeliers, French doors, new carpeting, a bigger building, and making more money. Shame on us!
