Lazaroo – Friday, January 27, 2012
1 comment, Jan 27, 2012
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with renewed resolve:
“What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”
(Mark 1:24)
What a shame, Jesus.
Demons know who You are
but billions of people on this planet don’t.
Whose fault is that?
Well…Satan’s.
His battle for the souls of human beings rages
even as we speak.
Also the false teachers, religious charlatans, hypocrites.
They’re to blame, too.
They set such a twisted, bizarre, freakish, bad example
that many people reject You because of them.
Frankly, the people themselves are to blame!
Many of them have heard the good news about You
but are unwilling to lay down their old lives
in total surrender to You.
Let’s see…who does that leave?
Is there anyone else to blame?
Oh, yeah.
One more.
Me.
Every time I fail to speak up for You.

right … I approve of that message Pastor Steve .. just a bit of political humor that we have been steeped in lately .. but it is tragic that we have done such a sad job of glorifying our Savior instead of representing Him in a positive way to show Him to others. .. He has done so much for us. We fit him between work, face book, the latest tv show and the latest piece of gossip we have listened to. No we are not worthy .. but He loves us and has accepted us as His. And in current terminology we all need to get our act together …
