Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ...
Many ministers in today's churches glorify themselves by sharing what they think. These are ministers of Satan as they seem to be "angels of light," deceiving churches.
Paul says: II Cor. 11:13-15 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
Two or three years ago, I heard the Catholic pope say on TV news that he didn't see anything wrong with homosexuals.
I screamed out: "What about the Bible."
Romans 1:26-27 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
The scriptures glorify God, showing God's view of the situations.
The Catholic pope glorifies himself giving his views.
A divorced woman wanted to remarry. She went to a pastor to see if she, being divorced, could remarry. The pastor said, "My sister divorced and remarried. I don't see anything wrong with this."
So this woman remarried after divorce. Later she was born again and began reading the Bible and saw by the various scriptures that the divorced woman who remarries commits adultery.
The pope and the pastor lead people into damnation, failing to present the Word of God on the issue. And they glorify their own selves by their own opinions.
Ministers of God glorify God by presenting the views spoken by God.
Gal. 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
10-12 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Damnation to every minister who speaks his own opinions and fails to share the words of God on the matter at hand.
The Words of God are salvation to us who believe, and those Words glorify God when we speak them.
