[Jeremiah Knight @iamrjknight]

A man can sit in church for years and still never know the Lord.

He can hear sermons, sing hymns, attend meetings, learn Christian language, quote verses, defend doctrine, serve in ministries, and still remain a stranger to the new birth. Church attendance can surround a man with truth, but it cannot raise a dead soul to life. Only God can do that.

“Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3).

This is one of the most terrifying realities in the visible church. Many have become comfortable around holy things without being made holy by God. They are familiar with sermons but unfamiliar with repentance. They know the sound of prayer but not the poverty of spirit. They speak of Christ but do not bow to Him. They have religion in their habits but no resurrection in their hearts.

“Having a form of godliness, although they have denied its power” (2 Timothy 3:5).

The danger is not merely outside the church. The danger is inside the pew, inside the choir, inside the ministry team, inside the pulpit, inside the home that calls itself Christian while the heart remains unchanged. A man may be known by the church and still be unknown by Christ.

“Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 7:21).

That should make us tremble. Jesus did not warn atheists only. He warned religious people who used His name, claimed spiritual activity, and yet never belonged to Him. Their mouths were full of ministry, but their lives were full of lawlessness. Their confidence was in what they did for Christ, not in whether they had truly been brought to Christ.

“And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness” (Matthew 7:23).

The new birth is not a mood. It is not a decision card. It is not church culture. It is not being raised in a Christian family. It is not agreeing with Christian morals. It is the supernatural work of God by which a sinner is made alive, given a new heart, brought to repentance, granted faith in Christ, and turned from darkness to light.

“Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you” (Ezekiel 36:26).

Do not comfort yourself merely because you are near the things of God. Judas was near Christ and perished. The Pharisees searched the Scriptures and rejected the One to whom the Scriptures testified. The Israelites saw mighty works and still hardened their hearts.

“Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves” (2 Corinthians 13:5).

The question is not, “Have I been in church?” The question is, “Have I been born again?” Do I hate the sin I once protected? Do I love the Christ I once resisted? Do I bow to the Word I once ignored? Do I grieve over my corruption? Do I run to the cross? Do I bear fruit that only grace can produce?

“By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments” (1 John 2:3).

A church seat cannot save you. A Christian family cannot save you. Baptism cannot save you. Ministry cannot save you. Knowledge cannot save you. Morality cannot save you. Only Christ can save sinners, and the man who belongs to Christ will not remain dead in the very sins from which Christ came to deliver him.

“They profess to know God, but by their deeds they deny Him” (Titus 1:16).

So let every churchgoer tremble kindly before God. Let every professing Christian examine himself in the light of Scripture. Let no one hide behind years of attendance while the soul remains untouched by grace.

It is better to be disturbed now than damned later.

It is better to question false peace than to hear Christ say, “I never knew you.”

Religion can place you among the people of God.

Only the new birth can place you in Christ.

@christianfiveoh First , let’s ask what is true worship ? Romans 12:1 , James 1:27,Isaiah 58, Samuel 15:22,John 4:24

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

Beware of any Christian movement that acts as though the world is full of enemies to be destroyed rather than full of neighbors to be loved.

@beholdisrael @beholdisrael being “Chosen” is not about favoritism it’s a call to responsibility.

[PaulsCorner-VerseQuest @TNTJohn1717]

🚨‼️It’s wild how many folks still think the appearances of God in the Old Testament were “just messengers.” A messenger doesn’t get worshiped. A messenger doesn’t forgive sins. A messenger doesn’t let men bow down and call him LORD. Yet every time that “Angel of the LORD” showed up, people fell on their faces, and nobody got rebuked for it. When John bowed before an angel in Revelation, that angel said, “See thou do it not.” But when Joshua fell before the Captain of the LORD’s host, the Captain said, “Take off your shoes.” You don’t remove your shoes for Gabriel. You do that for God Almighty.

Jesus didn’t mince words about His identity. He said, “Before Abraham was, I AM.” He wasn’t talking poetry, He was claiming deity. That’s not metaphor, that’s metaphysics. The same “I AM” who spoke to Moses from the bush was the same “I AM” standing in front of the Pharisees, wrapped in flesh. He said Abraham rejoiced to see His day. Think about that, Abraham didn’t imagine Him. Abraham met Him. He sat down and ate a meal with Him in Genesis 18, and Scripture flat-out says the man he talked to was “the LORD.”

Jacob wrestled with that same LORD all night and walked away limping but blessed. He didn’t say, “I wrestled a seraph.” He said, “I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.” What’s God doing wrestling in human form if that’s just an angel? You don’t lock arms with the Almighty unless He’s meeting you at your level. The Old Testament is packed full of these divine intrusions—God showing up not as lightning and thunder, but as a man.

Theologians can dance around it all they want, but the Bible nails it down every time: that wasn’t a representative, it was the Redeemer. The same Jesus who hung on the cross once walked through the fire, stood in the desert, and spoke out of the cloud. He’s the Author walking through His own story. The Old Testament isn’t void of Christ, it’s veiled with Him. Peel back the veil, and you’ll see the same scarred hands guiding history before they were ever nailed to wood.

God’s covenant w/Abraham was never meant to just bless One Nation . gospel is not exclusive . God is no more done w/ Jews , then he’s done with Muslims or u& I . Let true gospel go forth . We are saved by the blood of Jesus when we repent from unbelief . Faith by Grace in Jesus

[IamachildofGod @god_iamachildof]

The descendants of Ishmael are not excluded from God’s covenant plan — they, like everyone else, are invited to share in the promise through faith in Christ. John 3:16

[IamachildofGod @god_iamachildof]

Before we can become Children of Abraham through the promise to Isaac , we must recognize we have more in common w/ Ishmael , wandering n the desert separated from God . Reconciliation comes only thru Jesus Christ . Just like he heard Ishmael , God will hear your cry for mercy

[IamachildofGod @god_iamachildof]

The problem with dispensationalism is it is so focused on the covenant promise to Issac it excludes the descendants of Ishmael

[IamachildofGod @god_iamachildof]

Eph 2: 12 remember that at that time uwere separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel & foreigners to the covenants of the promise, w/out hope &w/out God in the world.
13But now in Christ Jesus u who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

The Horns of Iron and the Smoke Machines – False Prophets Then and Now

Introduction

Step right into the royal court of 1 Kings 22 and 2 Chronicles 18. The curtains rise, the stage is lit, and Ahab’s prophets are warming up the crowd. Four hundred of them—yes, you heard that right—four hundred religious professionals, all singing from the same hymn sheet. The king wants a pep rally, and the prophets are more than happy to oblige. Out comes Zedekiah with his prop, a pair of iron horns polished up for the occasion. He shoves them in the air like a showman with a prop from a Broadway play and bellows: “Thus saith the LORD, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have consumed them.” (1 Kings 22:11). Cue the applause, cue the shouting, cue the frenzy. Israel is going to win—guaranteed. Why? Because the prophets said so.

What a spectacle. It wasn’t preaching; it was a pageant. It wasn’t prophecy; it was performance. Ahab had himself a stadium event, a Super Bowl halftime show dressed up in religious clothing. And just like modern America, everyone loved it. Never mind repentance. Never mind sin. Never mind judgment. Just give us the horns of iron, give us the theatrics, give us the goosebumps and the sound of victory before the battle’s even begun.

Now, drag that scene forward three thousand years and tell me you can’t see it happening again—but this time in a “Christian” church with a multimillion-dollar light rig, smoke machines puffing away like the temple of Baal, and a “worship leader” bouncing around in skinny jeans pretending to usher in the glory of God. The preacher struts across the stage with his headset mic, voice cracking from the emotional crescendos, promising blessing, prosperity, and “breakthroughs.” He’s got more pep in his step than doctrine in his Bible. The crowd is whipped up into a frenzy—hands waving, tears flowing, wallets opening. And once again, nobody repents. Nobody trembles before a holy God. Nobody is confronted with sin. But hey—the show was great.

Don’t misunderstand me: worship isn’t wrong. Singing isn’t wrong. But when the whole show is smoke and mirrors, when the message is nothing but “peace, peace” when there is no peace (Jeremiah 6:14), you’re not looking at revival—you’re looking at a pep rally for the flesh. And the Bible has already warned you what kind of people will eat that up. “The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so…” (Jeremiah 5:31). You want to know why the megachurches are packed? Because the people love to have it so.

There’s nothing new under the sun. Ahab had his 400 “yes men,” and today’s churches have their celebrity pastors. Same script, different stage. Back then it was horns of iron; now it’s fog machines and LED screens. Back then it was Zedekiah putting on a performance; now it’s preachers leaning on marketing gimmicks and business models. Back then, they promised victory without repentance; now they promise prosperity without holiness. And in both cases, the end result is the same: people walking straight into judgment with smiles on their faces and pep in their step.

Meanwhile, standing in the corner, waiting for his cue, is a man named Micaiah. He doesn’t have props. He doesn’t have horns of iron. He doesn’t have a following of four hundred. What he does have is the Word of God, and that alone is enough to ruin the entire pep rally. When pressed, he mocks the false prophets, then delivers the one message Ahab didn’t want to hear: “I did see all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd.” (1 Kings 22:17).

That’s the introduction, folks. A lonely man with the Book against four hundred professionals with a show. If that doesn’t sound like the day you’re living in, you haven’t been paying attention. The modern church has traded in the pulpit for the stage, the Bible for a smoke machine, and the fear of God for entertainment. They’ve

@beholdisrael While what you’re saying is true you have to rightly divide the Word .

[IamachildofGod @god_iamachildof]

@beholdisrael “And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.” -Jesus
Not my will but THY Will

@ManassehRJones @ProvisionistP I remember when the Lord first saved me . A lot of similarities with Chadd . I went to “church” and I was called a Calvinist . I had to look it up . If you’re not careful the “seasoned saints “ are the very ones who will throw a wet blanket on your fire and make you ? Your faith

Sometimes we aren’t looking for the Bible’s teaching to direct us, rather we search for isolated verses to support the lifestyle or ideas we’ve chosen to adopt. It's a subtle way of convincing ourselves we're being faithful, when we're really just following our hearts.
