Let's Re-examine What We Know

Back in the days when I was practicing law, the firm I worked with represented many different "christian" or religious broadcasters who were getting licenses for television and radio stations to use for broadcasting the "gospel". Ironically, in our home we did not own a TV at all. Moreover, most of the music we listened to was not from the radio. We played tapes of recorded music. During those days people would ask me if I would like to have a TV so my children could watch "christian TV". I told them honestly, I would rather my children watched the playboy channel. You see they could see and know that the Playboy folks were sponsoring sin. But, the "christians" looked like maybe they were sponsored by God. Tragically, in fact they were for the most part motivated by the same desires for money, power, and influence as the ones on the Playboy channel.

My heart goes out to those of you who did not grow up in a nice criminal gang where you could know that what was going on around you was evil. Now, you are faced with the much more difficult task of sorting out: how much of what you learned in churchianity was in fact from God; how much was from the traditions of man; and, how much was from the flesh of the organizations leaders. One of the most painful discoveries is when we see that what we have been following was not Jesus even though we had the very best of intentions.

Remember, however, one truth. If you seek the Truth who is Jesus, and you are willing to die to find Him, He will be revealed to you in all His glory. Then you will have received a treasure beyond price.  It is Father's desire to give you the real Kingdom not a religious imitation.
