All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: BUT the sheep did not hear them. John 10:8
Possibly you have heard many sermons illustrations from real shepherd’s about how sheep only follow their own shepherd’s voice and none other. These are good illustrations, and I agree. BUT, why is it that in today’s modern church age we have professing Christians following heretics within the ecumenical movement? To figure this phenomenon out lets look at another sermon illustration from a modern shepherd in Arabia.
A sheep herder in Arabia is reported as saying, “The only time sheep will follow a stranger is when they are SICK.” With the churches and those within the churches going after every strange and sick doctrine coming down the pike, one has to conclude they are VERY SICK. But why are the SICK?
Since the early 1900’s those professing to know Jesus Christ have began to eat spoiled food coming from the ASV, NASV, Living Bible, The “book”, NIV, and the New King Jimmy bible. The modern church has been under and malnourished for the past 400 years. The church has lost her strength due to lack of spiritual food. With the lack of food came a lack of spiritual power. Modern churches that have rejected the AV1611 Holy Bible appear to be alive, but spiritually dead inside.
I have no idea what a “foo” means but I am honored by your complement. Thanks for informing me about your relationship with your brother, though I’m not sure why that was pertinent to the present conversation. As for my ancestry, I can only say your guess is off. My father’s name is Burton T. Peabottom. But nice attempt.
Cordially,
your “foo”
Ok, here is your post that you are so proud of. You are showing yourself to be a foo. And no I am not calling my brother a FOOL and am in no danger of Hell fire. Because, you are not my brother. You my friend are a child of the devil. Amen? Amen.
One time I had a nasty cold, the sort that had me sneezing more globs of snot than my tissues could handle. I was on my way to the doctor when my car broke down by the side of the road. I realised I’d have to hike back to my house. As I trudged along, coughing and generally feeling miserable, I realised I was being followed.
“baaaaaaaaaaa” said my pursuer
At first I thought it might be a rare low-lying cloud formation but then I realised it had legs. It was a sheep. I tried to get it to go back to its pasture but to no avail. It was following me because I was SICK. So I started to run, wheezing and coughing as I went. More sheep started to pursue me. It was like a nightmare. Alfred Hitchweiner’s movie about deranged birds had nothing on this.
At last I made it back to my house and locked the door. The sheep were ramming into the door trying to break it down. Some were leaping against the side of the house, trying to reach a window and break through. I thought I might be safe, but suddenly one came down the chimney, covered in soot… the black sheep of the family!
The only weapon close to hand was my KJV Bible. I bludgeoned the sheep in the head until it was lifeless. When that happened, the rest of the flock retreated.
Long story short, don’t walk near pastures when you are SICK.
Thanks. Amen. Had to edit a little for clarity. Gotcha.
This post is spot on.
Thank you. I needed that encouragement at this time.
Great post. One of the reasons I no longer attend these Babel buildings. Every Babel building, I mean church building in my area is a corporation and the pastor, I mean hireling is a paid agent of the state.
Before someone labels me some heretic and uses Hebrews 10:6 against me… I’m not a Jew in the time of Jacobs trouble.
Thank you Bro Ray for telling the truth. It’s obvious you’re not being well spoken of. So many unbelievers professing to be Christians hating you and your work for the Lord. Keep up the good work and earnestly contend for the faith once delivered unto the saints.
Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. (Luke 6:26)
