Get Mad if You Wish – I am Simply
Warning You Before it’s too Late!
“This is exactly one very important reason I left the last church I attended faithfully for almost one year. I was on the verge of being homeless and the church knew about this. Not one single soul offered a place in many of their homes for my little girl and I. Much less helped us financially. Of course they were more than willing to pray, but that was it. Now one sister who I was very close to was very close to the pastor’s wife. She had money saved up in the thousands and was getting ready to purchase a cow for the pastor’s wife’s residence as they lived in big houses with lots of acreage like farms. She often came over bragging about how much money she had saved up and what to do with it. She never once offered to help me and my daughter. By the grace of God He answered my prayers for housing and we were not homeless, BUT it was not from any Christian/s or this church that our prayers were answered. It was through a secular, unsaved couple that I did not even know!!! Needless to say I lost all hope and was so hurt by the people of that church and so left. To this day it still hurts and stings. But I can forgive. I just don’t have a desire to be part of that church. I have seen God use the UNsaved to help christians and i believe this is because that is a true sign to the life of those professing God their hearts are hard and stingy that even an unbeliever’s heart is softer sometimes? What do you think? I have seen more help in my life from UNbelievers than believers. It really is a sad thing when UNbelievers are the ones opening up their hearts and pocket books to the saints and christians today. It really is a wake up call isn’t it?” T.S.
Response:
Hello and thank you for sharing this although I must say that this makes me livid. God is going to eternally punish those who aren’t generous with what He has allowed for them to steward and for which they shall be judged. Riches unused for God’s glory will be accounted for by He who sees all. In fact, the LORD told us that those riches are going to testify in court – in the Supreme Court of the Universe before the Ultimate Judge – against those who do not use them for God’s glory (James 5:1-7).
In His Word, the Almighty directly ties together the destiny of our eternal souls with our stewardship. Hell awaits those who aren’t givers – which simply reveals that their hearts and lives are not given over to Christ in a saving relationship. Hell awaits. That is crystal clear in His Word (Luke 16:19-31; Matthew 25:40-46). Remember the man who fared sumptuously (deliciously in comfort and luxury-like 99% of Americans) while Lazarus lacked and yet the man refused to lift a finger to help Lazarus? Where did Jesus say that man went and is today awaiting his appearance at the Great While Throne Judgment where he will be terminated into the very “lake of fire”? (Revelation 20:10-15)
People who can help and refuse are literally going to spend eternity in hell for their evil withholding. They will literally for all eternity wish they had done things differently. This is unbelievable – how little people sell their souls for, thinking they have security in their temporal goods and bank balance. Jesus told one man he had to give it all up – all his wealth (whether much or little) – to follow Christ. Why? – Because the LORD saw that that man’s trust and security was in his money.
In Jesus’ name, I refuse to be quiet about this because it’s all over God’s Word, and, I must preach this part of the whole counsel of God Word so that there is no blood on my hands for not warning (Ezekiel 33). The LORD told us to “Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 1Ti 6:18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.” (1 Timothy 6:17-19)
Regrettably, most who hear this Bible message and warning preached straight from God’s Word, will sadly crassly pass it up as if it didn’t personally apply to them and will stand before God undone. The LORD told us plainly in Luke 16:19-31 that all men “have Moses and the prophets” which simply refers to the written Word of God. The LORD said that’s all we need and that all men are fully accountable to know and obey it or perish. WHAT is the reason for that man going to hell? Go read Luke 16:19-31 and see the exact reason he went to hell and will never again feel comfort for all eternity. The written Word is the final authority of God (Psalms 119; John 10:35; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:12-21). Many will say in their darkened hearts “Well, I really don’t have a lot of money. I’m not as rich as some people and so, I am excused.” Nonsense. These same exact people waste dozens or even hundreds of dollars monthly on any number frivolous things while claiming to have nothing to help others with. God sees right through this evil refusal and when they die and cry out to Him, it will be too late. Read Proverbs 1:18-29.
These same people who claim that they have nothing to give find it very easy to impulse buy and to commit to 40.00 month for the gym membership, 50.00 month for cable or satellite TV, perfumes, accessories, clothes they don’t need, entertainment budget, and little or nothing to help Christians in need or the work of Christ. God sees all of this and will repay (Proverbs 11:24-26).
“If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?” Proverbs 24:12
Now, read this. Could it be any clearer?
“Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17 But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.” 1 John 3:16-19
“What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” James 2:14-17
Those who are not generous with what they do have, do not possess saving faith.
Inasmuch as we turn a deaf ear to the needs of God’s children, we are turning away from Christ Himself and plunging headlong into eternal damnation – “Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.” (Matthew 25:45-46)
Those who truly belong to Jesus – who came and gave all – are without exception, generous, liberal givers.
“There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. 25 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. 26 He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.” Proverbs 11:24-26
Empty Your Barn or Go to Hell – The Choice is Yours
“And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. 16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: 17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. 20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? 21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.” Luke 12:15-21
Mad at me? Go for it. You won’t be the first or last. My desire is to please and obey God and to keep you out of hell. If you will choose to repent, worship Him in spirit and in truth, and obey Him, you will reap blessings untold both now and forever. Otherwise, you will pay for your own sins forever in the lake of fire for rejecting the only sacrifice for your sins. Rejecting Christ means you didn’t abide in faith with Him which always – without fail – yields obedient serving.
People who get nervous about the preaching of stewardship reveal that they are serving money and not God. Their money is what they trust while they feign to be trusting Christ. But Jesus said: “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! 24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” (Matthew 6:21-24)
Is the LORD you claim to love and be saved by worth giving Him the first portion of your income? You have contracted to pay and scheduled in your mortgage or rent payment and other things, so ask yourself if God is less or more important than those things. Consider putting God first place in your stewardship and watch what He will do.
“Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: 10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.” Proverbs 3:9-10
FEEDBACK: WOW More Emails About This! This is Staggering!
“Unfortunately, this is too common and is an indictment upon many who claim to be believers.” Edmund A.
“WOW … How sad! I think that people who do not have as much overflow are more willing to give away what they have because they live by faith! So heart breaking when we can share a portion, God would meet that portion and multiply both portions when done with a right spirit.” Cheryl
“The ‘Lake Of Fire’ is Going to Be None to Pleasant for those that had, and refused to Give…Friends.” Nancy L.
“I can RELATE because I was in this lady’s shoes. I belonged to a BIG CHURCH here in Portland OR! I was homeless, living in my car with my 5 year old son at the time…now is 18. They told me that I could sleep in my car in the ‘churches’ back parking lot but I was to leave before the sunrise in the morning. No church would offer any help! Then there was another time I went to the church asking for help…no the pastor told me when I did these 3 things he would help me. 1. get a place to live, 2 get a job 3. come back to church! Well since then I have done all that. I have been on disability since 2008 — I returned to that church to let him see that I have done all of those things. HE wouldn’t even recognize that I was there in the front pew. Woe be unto those pastors that led us astray. Oh Lord have mercy upon them. Since then the Lord has made provision for me. No church has been able to help me or my family. My 18 year old son told me last night that the churches that I raised him in were ‘FAKE’! I didn’t raise him to feel this way BUT I have many, many stories that I can tell about how churches have treated me and my son. I am Caucasian and my children are malato. Tell me what’s wrong in this story?” Deborah S.

The First Commandment with Promise [podcast]
“Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.” Exodus 20:12
Any person who mistreats their father or mother has brought a curse on themselves. Unbelievable.
“Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.” Proverbs 20:20
“Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 2 Honour thy father and m
other; (which is the first commandment with promise;) 3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. 4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.” Ephesians 6:1-4
To honor simply means to highly esteem.
Does the Bible say “Honor your parents but only if they’re perfect and only if you agree with them”? No! And thank God because none of us are perfect parents, right?
God has a plan and it’s the only perfect plan! If you follow it, your life will be blessed.
Does it seem like it’s easier for some children to honor their parents? Does their relationship with their parents seem more fluent? At least in some cases, could it be due to the graciousness that the parents fostered in their children? Genuine love governing and fostering a sincere relationship.
David Taylor writes writes this exhortation on honoring our parents:
“Hope you are enjoying mom today brother with blessings. Please do so. Mine is gone. I took her for granted during her life. Not honoring her, not loving her as I should have. What’s that old saying ‘You never know what you have till it’s gone.”
The greatest heritage we give our children is God’s Word.
“Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.” Psalms 119:111
Sharing how God is working in her life concerning her relationship with her beloved mother, Karen Cochran writes:
“I had to die to being right. Pride! How could I love her (my mother) with the love of Jesus? How would she see Jesus in me? She would not see Him in me in all my pride and arrogance! By being full of pride, all I did was stir up strife. Proverbs 10:12 ‘Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.’ Because she would retaliate and would be angry. I had to learn to keep my mouth shut. And it has completely changed our relationship. But first the Lord had to change me and cleanse me from my ‘know it all’ attitude and my pride. I went to the Lord and said ‘why is she (my mother) so mean to me?’ The Lord straightened me out quick. It was me not her! I couldn’t control her! All I could do was allow God to root out what was sin in me.”
“Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.” Proverbs 13:10
PRAYER: Father, bless this life to be crucified with Christ, to be truly humbled before You – that You might raise me up to glorify You. Thank You for my beloved parents that You chose to bring me into this life through. Help me walk in Your wisdom which is Your Word. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Jesus’ Counsel to the Lukewarm [podcast]
Laodicea: How Jesus Instructs the Backslidden to be Restored
Jesus’ Letter to the Church at Laodicea
“And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
The cross, the crucified life is the cure to the curse of sin—sin dominating our lives.
Romans 6
Inflation is part of the judgment of God upon a wicked people, nation. We see such in Sodom and in Laodicea (Ezekiel 16:49-59; Romans 1; Revelaton 3:14-22).
“It appears that in this scarcity each might be able to obtain a bare subsistence by his daily labor; but a man could not, in such cases, provide for a family.” Adam Clarke
Your money doesn’t go far….. inflation
“Revelation 6 describes the opening of the first six seals, which represent God’s judgment, often called the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The third seal, broken by a “black horse,” is interpreted to show hyper-inflation and famine, where a day’s wage (a denarius) buys only a quart of wheat. The judgment includes a command to preserve the oil and wine, which some interpret as luxury goods, while essential food becomes scarce and expensive.”
“6:5, 6 In obedience to the third living creature, a rider holding a set of scales came forth on a black horse. This represents famine, which often follows war. A voice in the middle of the four living creatures announced that wheat and barley were being sold at prohibitive prices. The scales were used to weigh the rationed grain and were thus a symbol of famine. The expression do not harm the oil and the wine is difficult. Some say that these were the food of the poor. If they were staple items, then they must be protected in order to preserve life. It seems more likely, however, that the luxury items of the rich are contemplated here: historically, even in famine the rich can get some luxuries.” Believer’s Bible Commentary
The only thing needed to go to hell is to not be on fire for Jesus—to be “lukewarm” (Revelation 3:15-16).
Jesus instructed the Laodicean church… to obtain, to “buy of me….
“3:18 The people were counseled to buy from the Lord gold refined in the fire. This may mean divine righteousness, which is bought without money or price (Isa_55:1) but received as a gift through faith in the Lord Jesus. Or it may mean genuine faith, which when tested in the fire, results in praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ (1Pe_1:7).
Also the people were counseled to buy white garments, that is, practical righteousness in everyday life. And they should anoint their eyes with eye salve, that is, gain true spiritual vision through the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit. This counsel was especially appropriate, since Laodicea was known as a center for banking, textiles, and medicines—especially eye salve.” Believer’s Bible Commentary
“Revelation 3:18
I counsel thee – O fallen and deceived soul, hear Jesus! Thy case is not hopeless. Buy of me.
Gold tried in the fire – Come and receive from me, without money and without price, faith that shall stand in every trial: so gold tried in the fire is here understood. But it may mean pure and undefiled religion, or that grace or Divine influence which produces it, which is more valuable to the soul than the purest gold to the body. They had before imaginary riches; this alone can make them truly rich.
White raiment – Holiness of heart and life.
Anoint thine eyes – Pray for, that ye may receive, the enlightening influences of my Spirit, that ye may be convinced of your true state, and see where your help lies.” Adam Clarke
Warning
“Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.” Revelation 16:15
Coming forth as Purified Gold
“But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.” Job 23:10
To “come forth as gold” refers to the finished product, where gold has been purified of all its impurities.
“That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:” 1 Peter 1:7
“The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.” Proverbs 17:3
Idolatry is Sin
Putting, having anything or anyone before Christ in our lives is the soul damning sin of idolatry. Such a person has rejected Christ for something, anything else.
One such idol, one such cause today is patriotism for one’s earthly country. See Hebrews 11:14-16.
SO, you are fighting to save America (impossible) and not see souls saved for and by Jesus? Yet you claim to be following Christ who said “I MUST be about my Father’s business”? See Luke 2:49. You are deceived and in need of repentance before it’s too late. You left your “first love” and are in sin, in darkness (Revelation 2:4-5).
“And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. 33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. 34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. 35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.” Daniel 11:32-35
“Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.” Daniel 12:10
PRAYER: Father in Jesus’ name, please grant to my heart Your gift of repentance and the deep desire to have Your righteousness, to not be deceived by sin, Satan, or counterfeits and false teachers. Please forgive all my sins afresh, here and now by Your precious blood LORD Jesus. Unite my heart to fear Your name. Fill me with Your Holy Ghost and use me LORD. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Tozer: The Cross
The Old Rugged Vs. the New Nerf Cross
A.W. Tozer: “The old cross is a symbol of death. God salvages the individual by liquidating him and then raising him again in newness of life. God offers life, but not an improved old life. The life He offers is life out of death. It always stands at the far side of the cross.”
A.W. Tozer: “Why do we build our churches upon human flesh? For we teach men not to die with Christ but to live in the strength of their dying manhood… If I see aright, the cross of popular evangelicalism is not the cross of the New Testament. It is, rather, a new bright ornament upon the bosom of a self-assured and carnal Christianity. The old cross slew men; the new cross entertains them. The old cross condemned; the new cross amuses. The old cross destroyed confidence in the flesh; the new cross encourages it.”
A.W. Tozer: “There must be a work of God in destruction before we are free. We must invite the cross to do its deadly work within us. We must bring our self-sins to the cross of judgment.”
A.W. Tozer: “All unannounced, and almost undetected, there has come in modern times a new cross into popular evangelical circles… The old cross would have no truck with the world. For Adam’s proud flesh it meant the end of the journey. The new cross, if understood aright, is the source of oceans of good clean fun and innocent enjoyment. It lets Adam live without interference. His life motivation is unchanged; he still lives for his own pleasure.
“That this world is a playground rather than a battleground has now been accepted in practice by the vast majority of fundamentalist Christians. They are facing both ways, enjoying Christ and the world too.”
A.W. Tozer: “The new cross does not slay the sinner, it redirects him. It gears him into a cleaner and jollier way of living and saves his self-respect… Christ calls men to carry a cross; we call them to have fun in His name… We want to be saved but we insist Christ do all the dying. No cross for us, no dethronement, no dying. We remain king within the little kingdom of Mansoul and wear our tinsel crown with all the pride of a Caesar; but we doom ourselves to shadows and weakness and spiritual sterility.”
A.W. Tozer: “The man who is crucified is facing only one direction… He [cannot] look back. The crucified man on the cross is looking only one direction and that is the direction of God, and Christ and the Holy Ghost… The man on the cross… has no further plans of his own… Somebody else made his plans for him, and when they nailed him up there all his plans disappeared… When you go out to die on the cross you bid good-bye–you are not going back!
“If we would preach more of this and stop trying to make the Christian life so easy it’s contemptible–we would have more converts that would last. Get a man converted who knows that if he joins Jesus Christ he’s finished, and that while he’s going to come up and live anew, as far as this world is concerned he is not going back–then you have a real Christian indeed.”
A.W. Tozer: “Our uncrucified flesh will rob us of purity of heart, Christ-likeness of character, spiritual insight, fruitfulness; and more than all, it will hide from us the vision of God’s face, that vision which has been the light of the earth and will be the completeness of heaven.”
A.W. Tozer: “The man who takes his cross and follows Christ will soon find that his direction is away from the sepulcher. Death is behind him and joyous and increasing life before.”
A.W. Tozer: “The old cross is a symbol of death. God salvages the individual by liquidating him and then raising him again in newness of life. God offers life, but not an improved old life. The life He offers is life out of death. It always stands at the far side of the cross.”
