When the Hypocrisy of the Church Ends… So Shall This Pandemic— It Will Be No Sooner. Period! {Warning… Many Christians A'int Gonna Like This 'S'}

 

What you are about to read may sound somewhat controversial… So… #1) Make sure you read it all… and #2) You understand it all… before #3) You go out and Tell it all.

I could follow up the question in the subject/title here and load it up with a lot of biblical passages. I am not. Mainly because it’s a question that most Christians have enough scripture to understand and derive the clarity of this post.  I offer one passage for those who chose to read the message of Jeremiah when directed to make a visit to the potter’s house.  

(Oh… you should have already figured out the ‘S’ in the subject is Sermon.” )

So, I preach now.

One of the most alarming moments early in the pandemic was the closing of many doors of the houses of worship. People were being guided/forced/directed to stop indoor gatherings of 20+ persons.  And yes, that’s what millions of people were doing on Sunday’s and Wednesday’s (primarily).

It must be thoroughly understood that ‘out of the building and out of the Body ‘are two different things. And God is more concerned about the ‘Body (of Christ) than He is the buildings. 

In the buildings:  What were they doing? Reading scriptures, praying, and listening to music and ministers. Many saying and singing amen throughout the entire service. Where they serious or faking?  Did they ‘fully’ mean what they were saying/praying? I say no. I really am saying ‘hell no.” And if we are real, we know it true.

‘Zoom’ in on these moments, everybody (mostly) is righteous and going to heaven to be with Jesus.

All this talk about love, God, living right and treating people justly, well you know it’s believable and it’s real. 

But what happens when the service ends?  What happens after the benediction?  What happens when we leave the building? What happens in the Body?  We all know!  Sunday morning and Monday morning are two different worlds.

What About the Body?  It is sick. The Pandemic is proof! 

It’s back to business as usual.  When we see each other outside the building…

The same people who hug one another, who see each person as ‘equal’ in the sight of God, the same people who say… “God is no respecter of person… the strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak…”  will do things like:

Ø  1. Discriminate

·        Who’s calling on the neighbor to see if they are in need? 

·        What ministries are truly committed to giving to the poor?  I mean like going into their accounts or creating accounts to deal with the inequities, the underserved, those who are in despair

Ø  2.. Show no empathy for you as a brother or sister

Ø  3.  Vote on Party lines and not for biblical values

Ø  4.   Etc.

Now to the theme:  God is saying its too much hypocrisy in the Christian assembly. Faith in man and worshipping the creature more than the creator is at an all time high in the current world status.  

So, what do we do?  Let’s answer this question and focus on this truth. 

Why Does God Allow This Pandemic to Kill So Many People?

 When the Hypocrisy of the Church Ends… So Shall This Pandemic— 
It Will Be No Sooner Than This. Period!

The Hope Clause

Let’s US(A) take full use of the wisdom of God.  Get tested, wear the masks, study, and make wise choice of vaccines, get the anti-viral products that safeguard your sanitized health on your body and in your living spaces.  Most important, let’s clean up our spiritual lives and stop the hypocrisy. These are true parts that will lead the way for the virus to end.  THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.  WHO’S WILLING TO GO WITH THIS? ALL IN… SAY SO… NOW!
