Everyone needs some form of humbling at one time or another, and today, First World Nations are paying a dear price, while far too long embracing everything but God; buy, buy, buy, me, me, me, with none, little, or playing games with Jesus, doesn't cut it.
From experience with great leaders who have had nothing but God, Third World Nations, if excuse was plausible in defense to justify wanting to give up, quit, or seriously question God in regards to why the Christian must often go without, if not with less than the idol worshippers, it would be them and their fellow countrymen; yet live to share Jesus daily.
I have as many Christians, as non-Christians, angry with God for not stepping in and doing something, as a million plus deaths in the USA alone, have fallen prey as a direct result of the fake-poisonous-covid-vaccine. Too many Christian leaders, big names included, who should know better, have been pushing the kill shot, only to become seriously ill themselves with one of the major and common side-effects known as Myocarditis, also known as inflammatory cardiomyopathy, or inflammation of the heart muscle.
Angry with God? Who has the right to do this? One believes in God while everything is going great, but when trials come, not knowing the living word for themselves as they are instructed and encouraged to do, so they blame God? And the atheist, choosing not to believe in anything, with the audacity to suddenly feel compelled to pass the blame on to God and not themselves? A tad hypocritical, two-faced, if you ask me on both counts.
Everyone wants answers but no one wants truth.
All of the above can fit into two categories.
1/ You know God, but only selective scriptures and not 'ALL' of His living word as you should. Otherwise Psalm 91, 1 Peter 2:24, and Matthew 8:17 alone, would (should) have you realizing you are invincible in Christ, with zero to be concerned about, UNLESS you have doubts in the inerrant and infallible living word of God within the pages of the Holy Bible - 66 not 73 books - nothing added and nothing taken away.
2/ You choose NOT TO BELIEVE in anything (atheist), or not in the living God (Divine Accomplishment), choosing an idol god (Human Accomplishment), so it's understandable if choosing to be angry with a fake god, being an idol, with only self to blame. As for the atheist who stands for nothing, they too have no right to blame anyone but themselves.
Romans 1:20 teaches "For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God."
As for TWNation leadership, they live to serve, worship, and share the Gospel truth daily - NOT SUNDAY'S ONLY - but pretty much every day of the week without fail, doing so passionately, and since connecting, have adopted three favorite words "TELL ME MORE!"
Contrarily speaking, I cannot tell you the number of times I have humbly attempted to direct FWNation Christian individuals away from improper biblical understanding to the truth, by pointing them to the living word and Jesus Christ Himself, only to receive a lecture, with backs up, defending 100% incorrect biblical doctrine - NOT INTERESTED!
In my bible, and theirs, 2 Timothy 3:16 teaches "All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right," but in their eyes, from much experience, the Canadian, American, white-Caucasian Christian in particular, are living with overwhelming and unnecessary worry, fear, and doubt - and that is not scripture, nor the intent of our merciful God.
'Everything but God' brings us to a crossroad that should not come as a surprise. When we can lean on anything but God who calls us to account, we will gradually fill all voids with the world, growing further and further with less and less of the truth we need, being the devil's objective. Existing to steal, kill, and destroy, he doesn't care if the Christian is saved - only needing to keep them from fulfilling their purpose, and to do this, keep us distracted from the truth, as we help him satisfy his desire and God's warning in Galatians 5:15.
Galatians 5:15 "But if you are always biting and devouring one another, watch out! Beware of destroying one another" *** and this is exactly the Christian faith today - a direct result of denominational pride, which is not biblical, but playing its role as the devil destroys the Christian faith from inside out.
Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall.
'Nothing but God' on the other hand, as in TWNations, who have been deliberately oppressed and impoverished by the same demonic clowns behind the PlanDemic, leaves one filling the voids of life with God or gods or some form of idolatry. But when the evidence of the living word takes hold of those wholeheartedly seeking truth, centuries of believers follow suit, having nothing but the living word of Jesus Christ Living God and mountains of testimonies in support of the love, joy, and peace that comes with challenges, but remains with unwavering faith that matches up with the living word; true faith indeed is in the God who does not lie, calls you His friend, brother, and joint heir, masterpiece and prized possession, with hope, purpose, and a plan awaiting our humble trust and acceptance.
1 Peter 5:6 So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor.
Luke 14:11 For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
Everything but God | Nothing but God - too much | not enough | proud | humble | His understanding or ours | His path or ours | His wisdom & knowledge or ours?
Jesus teaches "apart from me you can do nothing"
Paul teaches "I will boast only about my weaknesses."
John the Baptist teaches "He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less."
