2nd Chronicles 7:14
–Pastor Ward Clinton
In our day, when the Holy Bible is quite readily available, in multiple translations, just in the English, it is disturbing to observe that the overall trend regarding reading any books is on the decline. Even though the Holy Bible still has the status of being the “best seller of all time” it also likely holds a distinction of being the most neglected book. Therefore people in general only know what they pick up in bits and pieces through bits of sermons which they might not really be paying attention to or quotations, especially the popular misquotes. Therefore we really should not be surprised that there are so many ineffectual Christians as well as people who imagine themselves to be a Christian but have only had enough exposure so as to be inoculated against catching the real thing.
Those two groups occasionally find themselves annoyed by the spirit-filled, effectual, group of Christians; the second more so than the first but both tend to seek out the failures of the sanctified ones, or effectual Christians, in order to exploit them to make themselves feel better about their less=than-optimal level of spiritual living. But every one of us needs to be striving toward being more Christlike, as revealed in the Holy Bible, in order to be more properly equipped for residence in Heaven.
Ladies and gentlemen of the world; if you don’t like being in Church for a couple hours on a weekly basis, what makes you think you are going to like Heaven?
Only holy beings can handle residing in the habitation of the One True God who is the God of Father Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob who is a holy God and He expects His people to be holy like Him. He cannot lie to Himself and call that which is unholy to be what it isn’t without making it be. Now, if someone is content to live in the “I sin daily in thought word and deed” rut, they ain’t holy by any stretch of the imagination. But they still need to be.
Our situation is not yet hopeless, but it is quickly approaching that point.
Oh? I’m supposed to be preaching “Positive Mental Attitude”?
Funny…That is NOT what God told me to preach. I was instructed, as was every other preacher who was actually commissioned by God, to preach His Scriptural truths, not what man wants to hear. (Unless that man actually desires to hear from God.)
If you do not like it, then you may call “1-800- TELL GOD” and see what that gets you.
(Be forewarned: you might not like His response, but He is God; you ain’t.)
J.C. Ryle listed seven characteristics of the messengers during the Great Awakening of the eighteenth century:
These awakeners continually cried, “No fruit, no grace.”
We must learn that God is holy. If we are to experience the manifest presence of God’s glory; we must repent. When Isaiah saw the glory of God in the Temple, he was driven to brokenness, confession, and repentance. Too many in the West desire to know the manifest love of God without the manifest holiness of God. We have lost the message of true repentance. Now the church in the West is the sleeping Giant. Alarms have been sounded but there seems to be no great or even general awakening; if it doesn’t begin soon the giant may die in its sleep.
Let us pray

2nd Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN???
TERRORISM IS STILL ALIVE AND WELL IN AMERICA!!!
I remember the plethora of emotions when I heard and saw the planes fly into the Twin Towers on September 11th, 2001. I remember churches were filled with people begging GOD for help and for Him to bless and heal our land. It looked like there was going to be a great turning to God in America.
I remember PEOPLE crying and proclaiming, “HIS TRUTH IS MARCHING ON…” WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT? WHAT HAPPENED TO TRUTH MARCHING ON? I can tell you that ABORTION is marching on. PROSTITUTION is marching on. PORNOGRAPHY is marching on. GAY MARRIAGE is marching on! WHY AREN’T GODS PEOPLE MARCHING ON??? Isn’t it time we said, “Enough is enough?”
Oh yes, IT CERTAINLY IS TIME WE SAID ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. THIS IS GOD’S LAND AND, I hope, WE WILL NOT SURRENDER IT TO THE ENEMY!!!

It is not just the Democrats but “Republicans” like McCain, Graham, and Snowe because they know their corrupt gravy train is about to get derailed.

It was a year ago, but it is still right on target.
–Pastor Ward Clinton
The God of Father Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob who is the one true God is not bringing people against Israel, either. It is the sad state of this fallen world that it would listen to the god of this world instead of the God who sees and loves and saves.
