Stop the Insanity!

I am deeply sorry that I have not kept up with this blog as I should have.  I let my priorities get out of balance for a while, but by God’s grace I am back on track. 
When reading this morning for my devotions in 1 Corinthians 1, I came across some verses that substantiated something that I have felt for a very long time.  How can we expect unbelievers and those who do not attend church to want to understand about God, much less believe in Him when the churches of today are constantly fighting about what God says through His word?!
We have denominations that are going against scripture constantly and violating God’s commands and laws, but still declare themselves righteous and correct in their thinking.  When this happens, those that study the Word and find them lacking make a stand for what is right, are then labeled a bigot and narrow minded. 
We have gotten so far away from what scripture actually teaches.  We are constantly making up our own rules. Following after one MAN’s interpretation of things and accepting it as gospel truth.  Here’s a thought….GET BACK IN THE WORD!!!!  Trust the One that made all that we see to be the One to tell us how things are to be! 
I will not go into detail as to all that I have found in today’s churches that are against scripture, but I will say this in closing.  We wonder why there is a feeling that God has removed His hand from our nation and our world.  My simple submission as to the reason is this…we are the ones that removed it.  We want things the way that we want them, so we can be politically correct, or “culturally relevant and acceptable”, we don’t want to offend.  I don’t know about you, but I would rather be right in the sight of God, and offend some people, then be right in the eyes of culture and offend God.
