Why Is Everyone Turning Their Back On God?
Why Is Everyone Turning Their Back On God: Is it easy for everyone to point out things that God has not done for them?
As children of God, we have to know that no matter what is going on, God has our back. His intention for us is of good and not evil to give us a beautiful future.
Life can be challenging most things, but that is not enough evidence to hate on God. Blaming and bashing the Lord is so easy for so many people currently.
The fear of God does not exist anymore in this generation, and no one is talking about it. People are asking why God does not heal cancer patients in the hospital if he’s a loving God.
He told us in the Bible that he will have mercy on those he wants to, but that doesn’t mean he hates the rest. Most things that we get in life have to come through our faith or fear, so let us focus on faith.
Our heavenly father uses faith to bring things into our lives, and the fear uses fear. Let our focus be on God, the author and finisher of our faith.
Anytime that we doubt God, that opens the door for the enemy to come inside and destroy us. If everyone is turning their back on God, let us not be one of them.
He has never failed us in the past, and he won’t start today. There are so many people in the Bible who trusted us even when it seemed impossible.
Let us feel comfortable being called foolish because of our faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Serving the Lord is not about what he’s going to do for us; it’s about loving him truly.
Truth and the Spirit (Are You Willing To Die For Christ)
Jesus Christ told us that in life there will be trials and tribulations, but cheer on. No one told us that life is going to be easy and serving the Lord is like parties.
People who served God in the past encountered a lot of troubles, but their faith was strong. Disciples of Jesus Christ: most of them were killed because they believed in Jesus.
The word of God tells us that there will come a time when true worshipers will do it in truth and in spirit. Going to church does not mean that you are close to God because he has to live in our hearts.
We must be willing to die for the Lord if it comes to that because he did the same for us.
