On the Defence

It seems like we are always on the defence and run down. Preach but not on sin, Preach but not on me, Preach to feel good but all the long you are dieing and going to hell. It is amazing how indifferent people can be towards the preaching. And in our Baptist churches at that. What would our forefathers do in this age we are in today. Charles Haddon Spurgeon once said,We are told that we are scaring people to getting saved." That was back in the 1800's. Were are we at today. That California group are saying that we fundamentalist are scaring people. That is those promise keepers, they wouldn't know of Gods promises in the bible. But yet most of our Independent Baptist Church's are sounding like them and under our noses, you done compromised and cant even discern anymore. Every week I hear of churches who have done left the old path.
Jeremiah 6:16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
This generation is staggering concerning spiritual things, We are told that every thing is alright and leave it alone, stop preaching on standards and convictions. Some preachers today are scared to preach and ruffle some feathers. We are getting more scits than scripture today.
Our churches were not built on Charles Stanley how to books it was on Preaching. What happened to pinning ears back and plowing deep.
I couldn't even constrain my self this morning when after church I was asked some stupid question. I told him it is stupid people who make stupid comments like this is why most preachers carry a gun now.
There are more people complaining about preachers rather then praying for them. It makes me sick that this is were we are at this day. A generation of no discernment. And what gets me is that those the complain the most don't even have there house in order. Dress Like the world and still listen to ungodly music, don't come to church faithfully, sick on Sunday but go to work on Monday. There were those in the bible that went against the man of God got told on and then went home and at least got there house in order before killing them self. Hezekiah before he was to die was told by God to get there house in order first.
But yet today it is what ever you want attitude. A generation with out discernment.
I am trying not to get angry and sin not.
