Don’t let others represent you…
The reason I say this is that there are many
believers and pastors,preachers,bishops and so on out there that the public get
to see and yet they do not represent Christ as they should. There are so called
Christian organizations and churches that the masses are exposed to and use
them to judge Christians as a whole.
I have noticed that along with the influx of reality
shows with Christians on them and the scandals that have been in the public
eye, has tarnished the way many people look at Christianity today. There have
been believers that backslide because they see other believers partaking in
things that aren’t Godly or even saying things that they shouldn’t and open
doors for error.
“The Preachers of LA” are a prime example of how
believers can be led in error, due to an interview they did on a talk show and
asked about a popular hip hop artist whom was very openly demonic and unstable,
yet the preachers, except for one, praised the artist and said that the artist
is entitled to be “creative” and that they are a musical genius. Not one of
them said that the music is not something that believers should listen to or
that there is something wrong with the messages the artist puts out and that no
one should be listening because it’s demonic and can open doors for demonic
activity.
Of course if one of them had said that, they
probably would’ve have been heckled, however they would’ve opened up so many
minds of the those watching and want to check in the bible if it backs it up,
which leads them to actually pick up a bible.
This is not to say that these preachers aren’t any
good, or to say that they aren’t saved. I say all this so you know that you
have to check things out for yourselves and not let people represent what you
are trying to represent if they aren’t sticking to the word of God.
