The Problem with Churches; Pastors not yielded to their Lord

If we are not yielded  to the LORD Jesus, then we are not walking the Narrow Path; we are walking the wide path to destruction.

The result is Idolatry and Sexual Immorality in the church, unconfessed, and not turned away from.

We cling to temporal things instead of the Lord.  Pastors teach that grace is for abusing, and we excuse sin

Do you know that the wages of sin is eternal death? That is why the Word of God warns us to turn away from this sin and submit to the Lord Jesus Christ.

We don't want to turn from our sin. We are happy to continue in our sin and go to church to hear about (lawless) grace.

When Israel was in the same condition, God sent prophets to them telling them to repent and return to the Lord.

In Chapters 2 and 3 of Revelation, the command for the Church to  Repent is stated 7 times.

Rev 2:21 -- And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.

The Church has become Idolatrous and Immoral just like Israel was. God was displeased then, and He is displeased now.

Rom 11:21 -- For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either.

We should fear God and humbly bow before Him and confess all this wickedness we have committed. Please don't harden your hearts, but repent instead.

Only faithful Israel will be saved, and likewise the Church. Those who die and did not repent, are in Hell: Israel as well as "Christians". Not one shred of scripture says, ONCE SAVED; ALWAYS SAVED.  Instead the scripture says that we have eternal life IN Jesus Christ our Lord. He must be Lord of our lives so that we can overcome sin in our lives. If He is not Lord of our lives, we cannot overcome sin. The wages of sin is death for the so-called Christian as well as the world. The grace of God is freely given,  but His grace is to save us and to sanctify us.

In another place in God's word, it says we are barely saved. 1 Pet 4:18
¹⁸ And if the righteous scarcely be saved... 

Thus it is  proper for us to fear the Lord. To the humble He grants grace to overcome  drugs, pornography, immorality and all such wickedness. And then His grace continues to work on our personality.

Now just using myself as an example of the Lord's mercy, SIN  had a hold of me even as a Christian. I could not overcome. I tried many, many times and cried out to the Lord. Failure, failure, failure until one day the Spirit suggested I yield my life totally to Jesus. He gave me grace to submit, and I still am submitting daily. Submitting to the Lord is safe. He does not subjugate you. There is in fact more freedom in the Spirit.
