I AM COMPELLED

I AM COMPELLED AND SO I WRITE: CHOOSE YE THIS DAY, WHOM YOU WILL SERVE;

IF GOD BE GOD, THEN SERVE HIM; AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD!

They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. I shall continue to be one in whose eyes a reprobate is despised, but who honors those who fear the LORD; I have sworn to my own hurt and I will not change; Romans 1:16-32 (Paraphrased)

I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. for the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. for the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for eve;. for this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. and even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Be not deceived Brethren, without Holiness no man shall see God; those who believe that they can of themselves, through vain philosophies, reframe the world created by the Word of God and sustained by the same, shall soon discover that both heaven and earth shall pass away, but His Word shall abide FOREVER; for as God Himself is eternal, so then is His Word; He is the Lord and He changes not, He is the same yesterday, today and forever! It is not Gods will that any man should perish, but rather He desires that all men return to their rightful relation to his as sons and daughters of the most high God. However be very clear that God has never nor will he ever be in agreement with sin; it is the sin in our lives that God despises and we ourselves; He sent His only son into the world that He might redeem us from the dominion of sin and free us to love and worship God without the hinderance of fleshly desire for the lust of sin. I am compelled by the spirit of God, that worketh in me to say to my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ as well as those who are yet trapped in sin; there is a way that seemeth right unto a man, yet the end result is destruction; be not deceived, God is not mocked, whatsoever a man sows, that also shall he reap! I say to all who may read this or hear of it from another; God loves us dearly and wants only His very best for us, yet know this; He is not weak, condescending or unjust; He is bound to the Word of His power and His Word will not return unto Him void, without performing what He has sent it to do; He hath sent His Word (Jesus) into the world to reveal His will and purpose to all those who would believe; and to all those who will not believe, they shall surely face His judgment! Please pray for my wife and I as we stand on the Word of God in the face of great adversity, that Gods’ grace shall prove sufficient. TO GOD BE GLORY, DOMINION, HONOR AND PRAISE THROUGHOUT ALL ETERNITY!

IN CHRIST,

BISHOP
