Daily Devotional
Did you know the singer Prince and tennis starts Venus and Serena Williams
are members of the Jehovah's Witness cult? Did you know that actor Kevin
Bacon and cyclist Lance Armstrong are atheists? Did you know that Dr. Oz and
supermodel Imam are part of the false religion of Islam? Did you know that
singer Madonna is part of the Kaballah cult? Did you know that singer Gladys
Knight and child actor Ricky Shroder were part of the Mormon cult? Did you
know that actress Kirstie Alley and Congresswoman Mary Bono, widow of singer
Sonny Bono, are part of the Scientology cult?
If you believe the Bible, than unless these famous people renounce their
current beliefs and make the conscious choice to give their heart and life
to Jesus Christ by faith, they will die and their soul will spend eternity
in hell. You see, when you take your last breath, God isn't going to be
impressed by what your earthly occupation was. You won't have your agent,
attorney, financial manager, and entourage with you. It will simply be you
and God your Creator, and the only thing that will matter is if you know
Jesus by faith. Period! Nothing else!
Knowing that there is the better percentage of two full generations living
today that don't go to church, were not raised in a Christian home, and have
no spiritual foundation to their lives, I am motivated daily to bring these
lost souls the Truth of God's Word and the hope and love of Christ before
they fall into the hands of the many cults and false religions that exist
today. Let me help you understand something. When man sinned and his
relationship with God was broken, there became a void in man that only God
can fill. Deep down, sinful man knows something is missing in his life,
something that the things of this world can't fill, and he begins a search
to fill that void.
Everyone who lives has to deal with the trials, the pain, the challenges of
living in this sinful and fallen world., even the rich and famous. Those who
have no spiritual foundation to their life will spend their teen and young
adult years trying to fill that spiritual void with the things this world
promotes such as alcohol, drugs, relationships, sex, money, career, material
possessions, and all the other temporal things of this life. It is usually
when a person hits their 30s that they realize that the things this world
offers simply do not fill that void they have in their life. That is why
during their 30s and 40s so many people begin to explore the spiritual side
of their life.
Those of us who know Jesus Christ as our Savior, who know the Truth of God's
Word, have the ONLY answer these people are looking for. That void in their
life is there due to their broken relationship with God their Creator and
can only be filled by being reconnected to God their Creator thru faith in
His Son Jesus Christ. What upsets me more than anything else is to watch the
cults and false religions of the world boldly and aggressively market
themselves to the lost and hurting in this world as the answer they are
looking for. They don't do this by creating their own subculture and hoping
people will come to them, they actively go out and pursue people, using the
resources of this world to reach them with their lies and false hope.
Let me be blunt. While we have become content with building beautiful
buildings with all the modern conveniences and technologies of the world for
our people to enjoy, while we have set up our own TV, radio, music, and
publishing empires to preach to ourselves, the cults of the world like the
Mormons, the Jehovah's Witnesses, Kaballah, Scientology, Moon's Unification
Church, the false religions of the world like Islam, Buddhism, B'hai, Hindu,
and the many New Age philosophies, are reaching out to the lost and hurting
in this world through secular TV, radio, music, advertising, and publishing
vehicles that reach the world's masses each day.
We have forgotten that Jesus told us to, "Go out into the highways and
hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled." (Luke
14:23 KJV) At some point it became too much work to go out and reach people
and much more financially profitable to simply preach to the choir. So we
abandoned the world, retreated to the subculture we created for ourselves to
enjoy, and in the process have left the souls of men to the scavengers of
satan who are having a field day leading the lost into eternal damnation
while we sit in our $20 million buildings singing about going to Heaven.
SHAME ON US AND GOD WILL JUDGE US!
One of the fastest growing cults today is Scientology. As I have shared with
you in the past, cults and false religions are nothing new to the time we
are living in. Man has been trying to find ways to fill that void created by
his broken relationship with God since the very beginning. You don't go too
many chapters into the Book of Genesis until you come to the story of the
Tower of Babel. That story is literally about men who decided to create
their own religion. The cults and false religions of this world are all
traced back to the hearts and minds of men who lived in rebellion to God.
The Mormon cult came from the imagination
of that pedophile murderer Joe Smith, another pedophile murderer Mohammed
dreamed up what we know of today as Islam, Mary Baker Eddy created the
Christian Science cult out of her blackened heart, and Charles Taze Russell
created the Jehovah's Witness cult. Every cult and false religion can be
traced back to a man who lived his life in rebellion to God and created the
cult or false religion out of his imagination. The Truth, the Christian
faith actually started in the Garden of Eden and comes directly from God
Himself, the very God who created the heavens and earth and made man in His
own image.
I am always amused at people who reject the story of Christ and God's simple
plan to redeem fallen man, yet buy into the wild theology of cults like
Scientology. Christianity requires that you use your God-given intelligence
to make the choice to accept Christ as your Savior based on reality. Cults
like Scientology requires that you abandoned all intelligence and blindly
believe wild stories based on no facts. I have to be honest with you, I will
never have enough faith to believe the fantasies of Scientology, but many
who are hurting and lost and looking to fill that spiritual void in their
life will.
I love you and care about you so much. This Devotional today is to warn
people that the only way to be saved and assure your place in Heaven when
you die is to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior by faith,
and to challenge the church that we are in a war for the eternal souls of
men and women. These cults and false religions are tools of satan that is
leading its followers into everlasting darkness and eternal separation from
God.
I pray that you will not neglect the commandment we have from our Lord to
share the hope and love of Christ and the Truth of His Word with those you
meet along your journey. The Lord didn't sit in a church and wait for people
to come to Him, HE WENT TO THEM! Christ is our example and we need to not
only follow His example but His words to, "Go out into the highways and
hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled." (Luke
14:23 KJV)
This is not complicated. We have the better percentage of two full
generations of people out there who have never been to church, they are
living their lives void of Christ and His Truth. We know they have a
spiritual void that at some point they will try to fill. That is why now
more than ever we need to be bold and aggressive in letting people know that
there is only ONE TRUTH in this world, there is only ONE ANSWER for their
problems, and there is only ONE WAY to fill that void in their life...FAITH
IN JESUS CHRIST!
God's desire is that none be lost, that all come to repentance. May that
become our desire as well. Those who follow cults and false religions are on
a conveyor belt to hell. Let us bring them the Truth of God's Word and the
hope and love of Christ so that they can get off before it is too late and
get on the conveyor belt to HEAVEN!!!
In His love and service, Your friend and brother in Christ,
