Imagine if the Church relalized that if they simply did what they have been told to do in their own Bible, that they would not have to worry about “cancel culture” myths, about the “liberals” trying to get rid of Christmas, or about putting an end to our beliefs. If they simply did what they have been told to prioritize, first… they might actually solve more than 90% of the problems of in our society that they are so worried about and everyone would love them.
The reason why the church is in decline in our society is NOT someone else’s fault… it’s not the “wickedness” of our times, nor the illegal immigrants within our shores… it’s because we have failed to do what we were told to do. [Simple, concise, and clear! See Isaiah 58:1-11].
“Cry aloud, and spare not; Lift up your voice like a trumpet; Tell My people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. 2 Yet they [seem to] seek Me daily,[as if] they delight to know My ways, [as if] they were a nation that did righteousness, and [as if] they did not forsake the ordinances of their God. They ask of Me the ordinances of justice; They [seem to] take delight in approaching God. 3 [Yet they continually ask Me] ‘Why have we fasted, and You have not listened? Why have we afflicted our souls, and You take no notice?’ [So I will answer them back and say] ‘In fact, in the day of your fast you [take more time to] find pleasure [for your own desires], and [you] exploit all your laborers [to pay for it]. 4 Indeed you fast for strife and debate, and to strike with the fist of wickedness. You will not fast as you do [like that and expect] to make your voice heard on high. 5 Is [that] the type of fast that I have chosen [or desired]? [Merely] A day for a man to [pretend to] afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head like a bulrush [tp try to show false humility], or to spread out sackcloth and ashes [as a pretense of righteousness]? Would you call this a fast, [or someh=thingI would consider] an acceptable day to the Lord? [No! Not by any means!] 6 [Instead]‘Is THIS not the [type of] fast that I have chosen? To loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke? 7 Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and that you bring into your house the poor who are cast out; [And]When you see the naked, that you cover him, and to not hide yourself from your own flesh?’8 [If you do these things] Then your light shall break forth like the morning, your healing shall spring forth speedily, and your righteousness shall go before you; [And then] The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. 9 Then when you will call out, [I], the Lord, will answer; You shall cry, and [I] will say, ‘Here I am.’ If you take away the yoke from your midst, The pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness, 10 If you extend your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul, Then… your light shall dawn in the darkness, and your darkness shall be as the noonday. 11 [And, then] The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones… You shall be like a watered garden, Like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.”
