Christ is with Us through Everything

When we are born again Christ goes through everything with us, even through the difficulties that make us cry, He saves our tears in a bottle.

Psalm 56:8, "You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book?"

We are living in an age when empathy is in short supply and people are willing to walk over others on the sidewalk when they are having a heart attack to avoid the trouble of helping, heaven forbid that they would be inconvenienced by others ailments.

Those who walk over others to avoid helping often are those who expect help from others when they are in trouble.

Our world is becoming more cold-hearted and ruthless every day that passes. God said this would happen in the end times, the very reason I am convinced we are at the end of the end times. These heartless people will even display a religious bent but have no love for God, only for themselves and how they appear to others.

2 Timothy 3:1-5

Difficult Times Will Come

3 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.

2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, slanderers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,

3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,

4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 holding to a form of godliness although they have denied its power; avoid such people as these."

The modern church attendee never misses a gathering but shows little regard for God's Word even though they claim to be "Bible-believers." They violate more of God's word than they obey and rage at anyone who corrects them with scripture.

Those who love Christ seek Him in all things, not the things of this world but the wisdom that comes from the Father.

James 1:5-8

"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering."

The more we ask for wisdom willing to give up all that we were taught to follow Christ, the wider our eyes become open to the foolishness of the end times church gatherings. The false leadership system, the rituals that make people feel spiritual and special but have no power to change hearts. They try to change themselves according to their own idea of goodness but they do not submit to God while claiming they do.

The claims of the modern Christian are not reality, they are only in their own heads as they seek to appear special to others, the superficial Christianity of our world is full of pride that mocks and demeans what it does not know but thinks it does.

Satan loves "religion" based on human rituals, it is the biggest deterrent to aun authentically submitted life that seeks Christ.

Proverbs 21:1

"Only God has the power to change the heart of men"

Matthew 15:18

"For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander"

Psalm 51:10

"Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me!"

Ezekiel 36:26-27

"And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart"

The only solution to the problem of religious pride is the confession of the sin of arrogance and a desire for Christ to change the heart.

Matthew 6:19-21 "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also"

We know the treasures of a persons heart by the things they say and do as a lifestyle.
