Jesus Christ vs the Evangelical Tithe

Jesus Christ vs the Evangelical Tithe

# 36: Paul: “All who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.” Evangelicals who choose Christ’s words over evangelicalism’s various assortment of “commandments of men” “will suffer persecution”. Guaranteed. Those who choose direct guidance of the Holy Spirit rather than direction from religionists “will suffer persecution”. Guaranteed. Those daring to follow Christ rather than christians “will suffer persecution”. Guaranteed.

Those refusing to finance evangelicalism and/or speak against the awful evangelical tithe “will suffer persecution”. Guaranteed.

Persecution isn’t something to be disdained, but rather something to be celebrated. Listen to Jesus:  “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” Paul willingly suffered much persecution. On one occasion he hurried to Jerusalem, knowing “chains and tribulations awaited” him.

When you appear before Judge Jesus (you will appear before Judge Jesus) you will be “exceedingly glad” if you suffered for righteousness sake and exceedingly sad if you didn’t. Amen?
