Religion in the Kingdom of Satan

In the kingdom of Satan this is how religion is done all over the world. It’s very consistent satan-inspired model.

Sincere sheep-like followers, following sacred men (only men), in a sacred place, on a sacred day, alone educated to interpret sacred text.

But in the kingdom of Jesus Christ men and women follow the one and only sacred man Jesus Christ who leads them to gather any day,

who are themselves the sacred place wherever they are,

who have had the sacred text written on their hearts daily by the one sacred man who lives within them.

Sheep-like followers of a priestly class of men in sacred buildings are not normal or ok in the kingdom of Jesus Christ.

Surprisingly Andy Stanley has more to say about this model of religion.

Pretending to Seek First

Seeking Jesus Christ is not necessarily church or ministry related activities. Including sermons, speaking them or hearing them, prayers, or giving money.

They all can be, for a time, but are not necessarily for all time. We know within our hearts if they are or not. Sometimes when we grow, we have to abandon certain things that at one time were for us but we’ve changed, the Lord has moved on and it’s time for us to adjust.

If we must convince ourselves or others that whatever churchy thing we are doing is how we are “seeking first the kingdom of heaven”…ITS NOT anymore. We can trick our mind all we want, it doesn’t mean it is true from a spiritual perspective.

If that’s our situation then we should stop it and start to seek him with no other motive, perhaps reach out to someone for brotherly or sisterly discipleship.

Seeking Jesus in sincerity is as wonderful 30 years into it as it is the moment we first become a Christian, go to church service, or get baptized. It never loses its power.

When we start to turn activities into tradition that we refuse to give up is when it becomes a bad thing in our lives. Not neutral, not a little bit good, but BAD.

And changing that situation is much more than controlling ourselves to have a positive attitude.

That’s often merely a mental trick that we play on ourselves, and on others who are watching.

Hang With The “Quality” People

I hear a lot of self-help type speakers and pastors essentially telling people to only hang out with quality people. To spend time with winners and to avoid losers.

One problem with this is every one has a different view of who are the winners and losers. Another problem with this for Christians is that Jesus simply does not teach this and does not behave like this.

It’s a worldly business philosophy to only hang out with who you think are quality people. It is complicated and confusing to try to hang with the right people and avoid the wrong people.

Dear Christian, hang out with the poor, and give to them, teach them, if they won’t learn give anyhow.

Hang out with the negative people with the wrong attitude and gently correct them.

Hang out with the depressed and shine Gods light into them.

Hang out with the gossips and show them their error.

Being led of the Holy Spirit is all that is required of a Christian, it is so easy and peaceful if you’ve been shown how.

But, it absolutely will get us into trouble with those who can’t recognize the ways of God when they see him. It might even cause us to lose friends who think we are the losers and the low quality ones that we need to avoid. It’s ok, they did that to Jesus too, until they couldn’t avoid him anymore.
