A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land

Jer 5:30 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;
Jer 5:31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?

As God is dealing with Judah and warning Israel also; I think that there is much to learn from these verses. What is this wonderful and horrible thing committed? I see a nation that loves to have men of great rapport speaking to them instead of the Word of God in their lives. I see a nation in whom has allowed itself to become subdued by false teaching and preaching. I see a nation that is backsliding and unless that nation repents then the chastisement of a loving God shall befall it. Friend let me caution you if you are a preacher or Sunday school teacher, or a leader in the church. God has spoken here and is displeased with false worship, unbearable man made rules, the robbing of the faithful, and the false preaching that was going on. Do not think that God has not looked upon our nation and has seen what is going on today. The unfaithful, unregenerate who would preach about a Holy God have defiled His Word, they have led men astray with false hopes, and they do all this because of greedy gain. Friend let me encourage you to know the true Living God, Jehovah, who is all knowing, and ever present. It is He that we must come to know in a personal relationship through Jesus Christ, and live for Him. God does not want us to be taken down the road by some false preachers, God sent His Son Jesus to die for our sins that we may know Him and that He wants us to live life, and live it more abundantly, that is in service and worship of Him. All this foolish mess about send me money and I'll pray to God for you is not even scriptural.
Friend if you knew the God of the Bible then you would know that if you are saved you have a Father in heaven that knows your needs, and by faith asking through prayer you may see God move in your life. Don't just talk to God when your in a financial mess, instead talk to God daily and before you make any financial decision, that way you may be wise about what your doing. The above verse says that the people love having the false prophesies over them, and those that would use them deceitfully, friend let me encourage you today to get out from underneath those TV sets and books that you may be reading and get into a true Bible preaching, Sin hating, Missions loving, Independent, Baptist church. Pray that God would lead you to a church that God would have you to be in where the pastor cares for you. The last part of the verse says that because of false teaching and preaching the people have become so ignorant of the true God that they have become worse and worse in their sins, and in their lives. Friend don't be like those people, turn away before your life is so filled with confusion and iniquity that the devil uses you more than you realize. Turn unto the true God of the Bible and call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, whether they are out of ignorance, or they are committed openly, and Jesus Himself will guide you into all truth. Friend I hope this has been an encouragement today.
