If We Are So Faithful In Trusting God.....Why Haven't We Trusted His Warnings

                Folks.....How many times have I posted here that we do not know the extent of the collapse of this world's systems....or words to that effect? We do not know....we do not realize the nearness of the Lord.....because we have not thirsted to know...."As a deer pants for flowing streams...." In fact we are not very thirsty for this type of knowledge at all....for as God told us through Amos...."Behold the days are coming, "declares the Lord GOD. 'when I will send a famine on the land-not a famine of bread or a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD'." That is where we are at now....but there is a remnant that does indeed thirst....may God grow that remnant...the more when we can see the ribs in our spiritual frame....and the sunken cheekbones in the mirror....and as our tongues swell in the dry mouth that makes it harder to call out to Him.
                It is more than understandable for Christians to be terribly concerned about what will happen as the time of Christ's return approaches....but it is less understandable to see how some just want to go on living what to them is the good life....but either way....the both horror and suffering in the world right now....or the forecast of a dystopian world that is surely ahead.....should give the Christian no alternative than to look up and say....Maranatha....Lord Jesus come! I have heard on more than one occasion....that we just have to trust God. I couldn't agree more....but my response is always this question....'so being so great on trust as you are....why haven't you trusted in God's very clear warnings for so many years on where we are going....and what we are not to depend upon?'
                I have heard expository preaching in one medium or another for forty years now.....pastors proud as can be on how they....explain....the meaning of a passage....which is something that every Christian of any time whatsoever should be able to do for themselves over candlelight at home....when the only thing demonstrated in this preaching was that they can read a commentary. I've seen one pastor preach on Genesis for almost an entire year....starving his congregation....withholding from them that which they most need in these perilous times. I have seen Reformed churches preach....with every T crossed....and every I dotted....but with absolutely no warnings on our part in America's demise....because apparently we in Reformed churches are not in need of that. 
                For twenty years or more I observed what goes on in general assemblies.....of the truer denominations....and I quit shaking my head years ago....for they gather everyone together to solve some problem that isn't worth beans compared to the problems facing every single Christian trying to have discernment in an age literally tearing them away from discernment of any kind. What with traveling and visiting churches for one reason or another....I have witnessed an almost entire evangelicalism of men who cannot preach....but they sure can speak for twenty-five minutes....giving no more needed wisdom than a Wikipedia article might give. We cannot even begin to defend the Gospel of Jesus Christ anymore.....but should someone be critical of a pastor....which in effect is being critical of us....and we become an army of great defenders.
