Mega Churches- Mega Lies

It is a fearful (formidable, dreadful and terrible) thing to incur the divine penalties and be cast into the hands of the living God! Hebrew 10:31 (Amplified Bible)

Again we have another "Minister of God" in the limelight because of his misconduct, Ted Haggard accused of sexual misconduct with not just 1 but possibly as many as ten men, including underage boys! Then on Ophrah he lies again about his conduct saying he is not gay.

Oh what is gay? We are told that just one lie makes us a liar, But how many gay affairs does it take to make you gay?

From Ted Haggard sexual misconduct, Thomas Weeks III buckweahish presentations and perverted teaching concerning holy sanctuary of marriage, to Carlton Pearson complete defiling of the gospel and utter refusal to fully esteem the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ. We see a complete turning away of the men of God, and a rampant apostacy that appears to have it origin in the mega-churches were they are so easily hidden by mega lies.

Praise the Lord and hide your sons and daughters, we are as much to blame for these atrocities as those that committed these crimes. We set them (these high profile preachers) on high as if they were God. Causing the mind of man to began to believe that he is great. Haughty in spirit, and prideful in conscience, these ministers perceive within themselves that they are above the law of both man and God.

But we who are ambassadors of God must carry ourselves in a way which honors God’s Name. Because for many people the only God they will ever know is the expression of God that we demonstrate in our behavior. The world looks at us (the professed Christians) when making their decision for God. The manifest qualities that we express must prove God’s Good Name.

However it may appear, it is always God that uncovers these men, God will not allow His Good Name to be besmirched by those that have fallen (or jumped) into sin. Neither will God allow to go unpunished those that have willingly transgressed the Will of God by their lust, desire for filthy lucre, their covetousness of this world, or strange fire (Heterodoxical teaching). That which is done in secret God will reward openly in public for His Holy Name's sake. Not that men may say that these are how the people of God behave, but so the world may know they God has not condoned their deception

Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith YHWH Elohiym; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine Holy Name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went. Ezekiel 36:22 (KJV)

But to them, the pastors that know Christ, the reward is even greater than the embarrassment they will endure by the hands of men, God is very clear that those that live a lie in His Name will be rewarded with a much more austere hand than the lay sinner.

How much worse (sterner and heavier) punishment do you suppose he (who professes Christ) will be judged to deserve who has spurned and [thus] trampled underfoot the Son of God, and who has considered the covenant blood by which he was consecrated common and unhallowed, thus profaning it and insulting and outraging the [Holy] Spirit [Who imparts] grace (the unmerited favor and blessing of God)? For we know Him Who said, Vengeance is Mine [retribution and the meting out of full justice rest with Me]; I will repay [I will exact the compensation], says the Lord. And again, The Lord will judge and determine and solve and settle the cause and the cases of His people. It is a fearful (formidable and terrible) thing to incur the divine penalties and be cast into the hands of the living God Hebrews 10:29-31 (Amplified Bible)

Oh Heavenly Father;
In Jesus Name i pray, that you will help me to stay humble in my heart, not puffed up thinking that i am greater than i am. Take from my heart my iniquities, my desires and give me strength to fight the lust, and temptations of this world. When i am weak and lost and tested by my vile flesh, comfort me in Your Word, send Your Holy Spirit, to deliver me from the hands of the evil one. Let not my will, but Your Will be done in my life, on earth as in Heaven. Amen
