"MOTHER" GOD - ALL THINGS TO ALL MEN... MUM'S THE WORD: THE PLANTING OF A "GENETICALLY MODIFIED" SPIRITUAL SEED!

"Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our FATHER, for ever and ever."

(1 Chronicles 29:10 - FATHER capitalized for emphasis)

"But now, O LORD, thou art our FATHER; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand."

(Isaiah 64:8 - FATHER capitalized for emphasis)

"After this manner therefore pray ye: Our FATHER which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name."

(Matthew 6:9 - FATHER capitalized for emphasis)

The photographs reproduced here show the two sides of a card which was handed to a brother In the Lord whilst on a day out on the Gower Peninsular:

Here we have a glimpse of "The Emergent Church" in action. Seeker-sensitive and culturally relevant, inclusive and... well... apostate! Must avoid that 3-letter S-word at all costs, mustn't we! Let's define SIN (oops, the word just slipped out!) simply as "bad things we've done." And then, if we just say "Sorry, God!" the beautiful butterfly will burst out of its bed of pretty pink petals!

The acknowledgement of being a SINNER - and to be a truly REPENTANT SINNER - is so much more than this! SIN is the inherent GODLESSNESS of man, the SELF to the fore in an endless cycle of rebellion against God and the things of God. It is the decadent and defiant fallen flesh in diametric opposition to the Spirit. It is the love of the world. It is darkness waging incessant war against the Light. It is the iron will of man in complete juxtaposition to the will of God. It is lawlessness. It is anarchy. It is the absolute antithesis of the perfect ways of a holy Creator.

Mouthing a token "Sorry, God!" is simply insufficient. Genuine REPENTANCE is the death to self, a living sacrifice, a wholesale submission, an honest admission of complete unworthiness, the unconditional surrender of one's entire being and the willingness to pick up and bear our own personal cross. And the whole of our lives thereafter is to be a continual process of sanctification. As the Apostle Paul succinctly urged: "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling" (Philippians 2:12), echoing the words of the Psalmist: "Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling." (Psalm 2:11). For we are dead and utterly without hope under the edicts of the Law, and live and breathe and have hope by His grace alone.

This card is so subtle. It has an appearance of righteousness. It is designed to attract. And it is deadly in its deception. For the underlying spirit behind it is the spirit of error, not the Spirit of Truth. It invites us to make God out to be anything we want Him to be. It proclaims Him to be "the best friend, dad and mum you could ever have." So He can be your bosom buddy, your Pa, or even your Ma if that's what you want Him to be! In fact, there's a very active campaign underway right now to have God addressed not as 'Him' but as 'Her!' These newspaper headlines from 31/5/15 say it all:

Calls to refer to God as a woman as female bishops take up posts

All this, of course, has everything to do with militant Feminism and nothing whatsoever to do with Biblical Christianity. But in the loudly and proudly liberal, "anything goes," lukewarm Laodicean waters of the Anglican communion, such travesties are an everyday reality.

Libby Lane, the C of E's first woman bishop.

The plain fact of the matter is that the Bible unambiguously calls the First Person of the Trinity the FATHER, the Second Person the SON, and the Third Person is referenced as HE or HIM only! To assign female nomenclature to God is to re-write His Book, adding something that is very definitely not in it! It is contradicting the Creator Himself, challenging the very basis of how He is to be addressed. Jesus Himself taught that we are to pray to the FATHER. Dare we declare that He didn't know what He was talking about? That His teaching was wrong? Such a thing is the spirit of antichrist at work in our lives!

THE "GOD'S YOUR BEST MUM" CARD FEATURED HERE IS SIMPLY SYMPTOMATIC OF A FLESH-LED CHURCH THAT HAS LONG SINCE LOST ITS WAY, A WAYWARD CHURCH THAT HAS WELCOMED IN AN ALIEN SPIRIT WITH OPEN ARMS AND REJECTED RIGHTEOUSNESS IN FAVOUR OF ABJECT FOLLY, A HEADSTRONG CHURCH DETERMINEDLY CAREERING DOWN THE BROAD ROAD. BUT JUDGMENT IS COMING...

"The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness."

(Proverbs 15:2)

"The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness."
(Proverbs 15:9)
