Living in fear - rather than Faith

As we continue on in this series of a World that lacks God.......a few things are becoming more and more clear.....that is the people who say they follow God – actually don't follow his teachings – and if they're not following his teachings, then just who's teachings are they following.

Jesus taught throughout His entire ministry: Fear not!

Now – how many here reading this are afraid of things that can happen to them?

We live in a World that says - “save for a rainy day” - when Jesus taught : Matthew 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

So – why do we worry about having money for a rainy day, when Jesus said not to worry about that?

The problem is this: we live in a selfish generation. A generation that teaches to get what you want, wherever and however you can get it. If you have money for it, get it. If you don't have money for it, go and get a loan and than you'll have money for it. “You're richer than you think.”

Where does all this thought come from? Well, go and watch TV – and then read the wording in the picture above.

Now – who controls what gets aired on the TV? Well in Canada, we're lucky to have the CRTC – communication regulations for telecommunications – which is run/controlled by the Government. So the Government controls/regulates what gets aired on TV. The same government that we know lies and everything else – but then again, we'd rather follow a government than follow Jesus. A government that teaches the opposite of what Jesus taught.

Take into account that because the government teaches us all these things to be fearful of, obviously we need protection for this, and obviously we need all this STUFF to protect us. Yet aren't we supposed to be free? Don't we live in a democracy where we are to be free?

In reality – only the Son of man will set you free.

If you want to follow a government that you know lies to you – then continue supporting them. I just find it funny that people will complain about all the rules and laws that exist for us people – yet the laws of God were 10. We don't want to follow God's commandments because they're too hard, yet nobody wants the thousands of laws that are in place for us here in the USA or Canada.

Think about it people – what would be easier? To obey the 10 commandments or to obey the laws of the USA or Canada?

Matthew 6 :30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

The problem is we as people don't want the God of the Bible in our lives – but we want people to be our “gods” and these people have been elected for the people and by the people. If people would only elect God instead of themselves, the world would be different.
