"WHAT IF?"
Aug. 8, 2009
26What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone
has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an
interpretation. All of these must be done for the strengthening of the
church. 27If anyone speaks in a tongue, two—or at the most three—
should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret I Cor. 14
20Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the
philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the
world? 21For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom
did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was
preached to save those who believe. I Cor. 1
"Who are the ones that you run to in this hour? Is my Father your
refuge or have you made it a person? Some people have made some
people into a god. Have you made a pastor into this type of a
person? Is there someone that you know that you reverence like this?
Do you not know that every person is fallible on this earth? I AM
the one that you can come to for answers. Where is the debater of
this age? Where is the wise man? Who has created the heavens and the
earth? Who is it that forgives your sins?
I tell you that your leaders are not without merit. For those who
labor among you are worthy of their rewards, but many of my people
have honored them too highly. The time is coming when I will strip
away the pulpits. The time is coming when those who would want to
hear from the Lord must come to me when I was sitting upon the hill.
For they listened to the sermon on the mount. They had ears that were
longing to hear. They spread out their blankets and broke bread
together. But now you have your great assemblies. You flock to hear
this man or this one speak. You must learn to seek me only. What
would happen if you no longer had anyone to speak? What would happen
if each one of you shared what was on their hearts? I tell you that
the entire church system would be turned upside down. What if I were
your teacher? What if?"
