Tempting God by Greg Gordon
August 10, 2009
“NOW, Christian is the hour for you and me to prove God. But what in reality are we doing? Tempting Him! To see how far we can go how much we can get away with, while souls drop into hell all around us, and the cry of the Psalmist is heard in the land, I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me; refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.” -David Otis Fuller
We need desperateness for the times we live in. The world needs revival or its over! There is such a falling away of any moral standard or rules, people are doing what they wish, or as what seems right to them. God is being taken out of the governments, nothing but a nation-wide awakening of souls will stop this landslide of immortality and filth. Start today, stop tempting God, and make it your supreme desire to have Christ reign in His rightful place in your life. Be honest with yourself, wake up out of your complacency and see your nakedness. And dare I say to you Christians, “Repent!” for the time is short and we will stand before the one that we much give account for every word spoken and every deed done.
Listen to George Fox’s words: “But they could not endure to hear of purity, and of victory over sin and the devil. They said they could not believe any could be free from sin on this side of the grave. I bade them give over babbling about the Scriptures, which were holy men’s words, whilst they pleaded for unholiness. Then I bade them forbear talking of the Scriptures, which were the holy men’s words; “for,” said I, “the holy men that wrote the Scriptures pleaded for holiness in heart, life, and conversation here; but since you plead for impurity and sin, which is of the devil, what have you to do with the holy men’s words?” Surely you will have the words of Jesus ringing in your ears ‘blessed is he who hears the words of God and OBEYS them.’ God is a holy God and we need to be a holy people. A different people set apart to God, strange to the world yet precious in the sight of Christ. ‘He, who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’ God is calling for a different race of men! will you hear this call?
