Quote of the Day 8/29/11

"I don't leave a lot of things open-ended theologically. I believe there's one God. I believe that Jesus is the only way to heaven. I believe we're all sinners. I believe in a real hell and a real heaven. So I'm a Bible guy, for sure. I don't make any apologies about that." – Mark Driscoll 

“Tolerance.”  That seems to be the word of the day.  “We need to be more tolerant or compromising.” You might be able do this in some areas of your life, but compromising God’s word is just not one of them.  God’s Word is God’s Word.  You cannot change it to fit what you want it to mean, discount parts of the Bible because you don’t agree with it or omit sections because it does not fit your life style.  Some churches today are changing what they believe to be more accommodating to the pressures of society.  This is a very dangerous game they are playing.  Bending to the will of man (sinful by nature) will lead to destruction as it did during Jeremiah’s day.  Why repeat history when God’s Word speaks so clearly?  We have the warning signs and need to heed God’s Word.

Truth is truth.  If you walk off a cliff, you are going to fall no matter how much you say you won’t.  The truth that gravity is real is undeniable.  The same goes for God’s Word.  You can say that you are not a sinner or that God does not exist, but the truth will be made clear to you when you pass from this world and into eternity.  Where will you spend your eternity?  Don’t play the game.

Romans 12:2

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
