Words falling on deaf ears.

 All too often the Word of God seems to fall on deaf ears, & that's because people are deceived about God. People have been lied to or have lied to themselves about what God says, & what is & is not acceptable to Him. Because of God's great love for us people deny that He will judge us & they seem to think that they have time. Speaking of time, Luke chapter 12 & 16 speaks of a certain rich man, who had good things all his life. This rich man was proud of his achievements, & he bragged to himself about all that he had. The rich man made the mistake of trusting in himself and in material things.  Thinking he had time, he thought to himself that he would build more and add to his possessions, but God called him a fool and commanded that it was his time to die. What happened to the rich man? Read for yourself what God's word says: [ Jesus speaking in Luke 12: 15- And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

Luke 16: 19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. ]

So you see the rich man didn't trust God, didn't believe in God or see any need for him because of all his riches. He only trusted in himself and failed to see that spiritually he was dead & bankrupt before God. The end result of his unbelief was death and hell, eternally separated from the God he felt he had no need for. Also, obviously, Godliness, or as we say blessedness is not having money & things because if it were, the rich man would have been allowed into heaven.

People don't like to read the Bible, they don't want to hear what the Bible says, and get upset when somebody like me tells them what thus says the Lord. They say I am judging them, but they only say I am judging them because they know they are guilty before God. People are partly right, yes they are being judged, but not by me, but by God! God wonders why people who disobey & refuse to be judged by him will claim to be a Christian & go to church. He even calls them wicked. See for yourself:

[ Psalm 50: 16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and casteth my words behind thee.
18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.
19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son. ]

Unbelieving people who doubt and question everything God says & commands & who are deceived into believing that they are not supposed to suffer anything and get away with doing whatever they want are in danger. They are in danger of hell fire, eternal darkness & loneliness where they will remember & regret every time somebody told them about Jesus, or the Bible for all eternity. Doubters & unbelievers don't understand why God allows those who truly believe in him to suffer, not recognizing that evil touches everyone because we live in a fallen sinful world. It's a persons reaction to evil & injustice that determines their character. Do they cave and give in to lying, stealing, immorality & crime to get by or feel loved? Or do they do the right thing no matter the price or sacrifice because they know in the end that God will reward them for well doing? Do they accept God's perfect & true love above that of another human beings imperfect affections?

[ Revelation 21: 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. ]

So because I fear God & I know the terror of the Lord & because I don't want to see anyone I know calling out from hell for me to help them, ( I am not going to be able to help them ) I write these things and pester people about their need to be willing to repent of their sins & be willing to stop doing the things that God is judging them for & will ultimately separate them from God forever.

If you are looking for love in all the wrong places and ways then I am here to tell you that the power of accepting Gods love sacrifice Jesus Christ is the cure for all your heartache and pain. The answers to life are in the Bible, not in the world, or money, or power, or acceptance from humankind, or things, or sex, or family or in success. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life and there is none other way besides Him, or anyone who loves you more.
