Pandemic Preaching - The Truth Is The Truth Even if We Don't Believe It

Pandemic Preaching - The Truth Is The Truth Even if We Don't Believe It

- October 14, 2020

"Jesus looked straight at them and said, “There are some things that people cannot do, but God can do anything.” Matthew 19:26

There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who believe in God. And those who do not.

Okay there's a third group, those who believe that it is impossible to find out if there is or if there isn't one and so they convinced themselves they don't care to believe or not.

50-50

Statistically, the chances would either be that A, there is or B, there isn't.

Regardless, if it is A, even if we don't believe it, He is and will still be God.

And as God, of course He can do anything. Nothing is impossible for Him.

Aa for Man, we already know that there are things we cannot do. And we cannot understand, including this pandemic.

Pandemic

But you know what, if God is God, then even a pandemic will work out for good. And if we still have not learned anything the last few months, then we haven't been paying attention.

This is like someone pressed the reset button for everyone and everything to reboot their systems.

This time has been an opportunity for everyone to honestly look at how they have been living their lives, see what is important and to change for the better.

The truth has been staring us in the face all this time, we just needed a chance to look at it long enough.

The Shepherd and His Flock

“I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep. The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” Jesus used this figure of speech, but they did not understand what he was telling them.

Therefore Jesus said again, “I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

John 10 (NIV 84)

Disclaimer

If you have issues with Hillsong or Bethel or Elevation or any of the so-called heretical churches or preachers, we are not condoning any false teachings. There is always something we can find wrong in all churches, including the one we call ours. But there is one faith, there is one baptism, there is One God, there is One Spirit and One Savior, Jesus Christ. If we agree on all these then let's all work together for good. The Lord is coming back. Let us stop wasting time with nitpicking, criticizing other believers because they wear strange clothes or sing weird songs, or read a version of the bible we don't, or speak in tongues or do or believe something which we don't, instead let us do what God has really called us to do. God has called each one of us to do something. Let's do that.
