I Can’t Tell Them the Truth, They will Hate Me.

Are you ready or are your fingers in your ears?

God has not been silent these past 2000 years.  He placed believers all over the world to speak for Him.  We are His ambassadors to the world.  It is through Christians that He makes known to the world His heart and soul for what is happening in peoples lives.  It is grave position we hold with heavy responsibilities.

2 Corinthians 5:20 " Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God."

Some people have been very good ambassadors for Christ.  They have not shied away from telling people, with love, what God says about the sin in their lives.  I wish I could say we all have been doing that but that would not be truthful.  We, as the church, have failed much more then we have succeeded.

In the song, on the YouTube video above, it shows how people stick their fingers in their ears saying “La la la la la” so that they don’t have to hear what God says about their lives.  That is true of non-Christians and Christians.  We want to live our lives our way and not God’s way.  We get so busy enjoying ourselves that we ignore God and those who speak His truth.

When we do hear what God has to say, we ridicule God’s messenger.  “Oh, that is so old fashioned.  You sound like my grandmother.  You are homophobic!  You’re an idiot to believe that.  You’re so narrow minded. Etc….”

When was the last time you told someone: Living together and premarital sex is wrong?  Homosexuality is a sin? Drunkenness is unbiblical? Cursing and crass speech are sinful? Gossip is not scriptural?  Wearing revealing clothing is tempting others into sin? God hates it when we make fun of other?  Our lust for things is sin?

Someday soon, I fear that God will attempt to wake up the world and His Church by showing just how He does feel about sin in this world.  Get ready people because God is about to speak. 

Read Ephesians 5:1-21 to see what God says about the days we live in and how we should live.  Verse 14 says “Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead” We Christians are asleep.  We go right along with what the world is doing.  We need to wake up, arise from the dead, put aside our fear of men and speak God’s word to the world.
