Ignorance Of God And His Ways!

Today I was reading J.I. Packers book, Knowing God. It ranks up there along with C.H.Spurgeon, A.W. Tozer and several others. He like Tozer, realizes how ignorant Christians today are. Listen to what he says. " The conviction behind this book is that ignorance of God--ignorance both of His ways and the practice of communion with Him--lies at the root of much of the church's weakness today.


He goes on to say that," the church has been conformed to the modern spirit: the spirit that spawns great thoughts of man and leaves room for only small thoughts of God. Clear sighted persons, seeing this, are tempted to withdraw from the churches in something like disgust to pursue a quest for God on their own. Nor can one blame them, for churchmen who look at God, say to speak, through the wrong end of the telescope, so reducing Him to Pygmy proportions, cannot hope to end up as more than Pygmy Christians, and clear sighted people naturally want something better than this."


It is high time the church wakes from her deep slumber. There will be an awesome price that she will pay for the neglect of His Word and communion with Him. Judgement begins at the house of God. All who slumber will be asleep when the last trump sounds and the dead in Christ rise first and those still alive will be taken and so shall they be forever with The Lord. And don't think for one minute that the teaching of man in the late 1800's, eternal security, will allow them to depart this evil world, for He is a righteous judge. There will be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth.

We Christians are to be dead to ourselves. We were bought with The Precious blood of Christ and MUST DIE DAILY! We must be so close to Him that we can intercede for others salvation and fast and wittness the chains of sins that bind them falling off. That is the reason we are to be saved, that and the worship of The One who created all things. He alone is worthy of our praise and obedience.
