Get Off the Fence!


As an avid thinker, this week has truly been a time of deep contemplation. As I meditate on the truth filled words of the Scriptures, those things that contradict God’s mandates stick out obtrusively. It’s almost shocking, the things that people currently accept as “okay”, or shrug off as not a “big deal”. With that, I’m here to set the record straight! It’s time that everyone understands that it’s officially time to “Get Off the Fence”! Teams are being defined for the final battle, and folks need to make a choice to be on the winning side while there is still time.

In the past couple of days my posts on Facebook have been fueled by some of the articles and media commentary I have come across concerning the Church. Collectively, I am deeply saddened by the current state of Christ’s beloved bride. Compromise has hit the Church with a heightened vengeance, and many have bought the deception. I witness the blatant diluting of God’s truth, as it’s substituted with the “other gospels” that Paul spoke of in Gal. 1:6-9. I also recognize the gradual decline of the “just” that the Bible foreshadows as one of the occurrences that marks the final days. It’s absolutely horrible and hurts me to my core.

People have become so consumed with achieving fame, and arousing lustful whims for the sake of individualism. Oversized egos are the “acceptable” idols of this era. But, this lie concealed in fantasy, forgets to mention that there is nothing independently freeing in being held captive by dark rulers who thrive in carnality. Captivity contradicts the very purpose of why Christ died! He specifically came to set the captives free (see Isaiah 61:1). But, how do you bring liberty to prisoners who are oblivious of the chains that shackle and choke the very life from them? Answer: you keep preaching the Gospel.

God is using me this day to profess that NOW is the time to repent and “get off the fence” of IN & OUT. There are no gray areas in the Kingdom of God. There is no room for those who are partially-Christian, or semi-holy. It doesn’t work like that people. Choose ye today whom you will serve. And for the record if the world is not remotely upset or rebellious against your  lifestyle, it’s probably because you look strikingly similar to them. Check yourself. The folks who are popular in this world ARE NOT popular in heaven. It’s simple; “no man cannot serve two masters” (Matt. 6:24).

Time for a reality check folks, and I’m here to hand you a heavy dose of it. God is not pleased with the state of the Church; He’s coming back for one without blemish or wrinkle. Be not deceived into thinking that your half-hearted attempts at “living for Christ” are not being recorded as falsified shenanigans. God looks at the heart, so He ALWAYS knows the real, internal you. Get it right TODAY Church. Repent and Get Off the Fence! For Christ is soon to come.

Real Talk!
