Stop Looking for Idols

Too many believers are ready and willing to hitch their wagon to anyone who claims they are Christian as long as they are famous. Sarah Palin is not at all what people think, she is a Pentecostal emotionalist! I do not trust her any more than I trust Trump. Her aligning herself with Trump is just another clue that something is wrong with her that we cannot see.

I have met a lot of Pentecostals who think they are going to be the ones to save the world and all they have to d...o is speak it all into existence. Fame and wealth are enticing to pretenders, they love the limelight and the wealth that comes with it, often neglecting their families to attain it all.

In most cases these people are caught in some sort of hidden sin eventually.
The "painter of lights", Thomas Kincade, was an alcoholic, divorced his wife and had many problems, eventually committing suicide. Everyone was gaga over his "Christian" proclamation, rushing out to buy his paintings. I liked his paintings, but the fact that so many were ready to jump on his band wagon of spirituality when they really didn't know him.

When someone claims to be a Christian, especially if they are famous, it is time to go to the magnifying glass, placing them under the glass of Scripture to see if they are what they say.

No one can know these politicians or actors, all we have is what the media feeds us. It is high time that believers stop getting all excited at the mention of Christianity simply in words and begin testing the fruit through Scripture and prayer.
