Are we as Christ filler that much different than the people of Dan?

 

 

Judges 18: 27-31

 

But the people of Dan took what Micah had made, and the priest who belonged to him, and they came to Laish, to a people quiet and unsuspecting, and struck them with the edge of the sword and burned the city with fire.   And there was no deliverer because it was far from Sidon, and they had no dealings with anyone. It was in the valley that belongs to Beth-rehob. Then they rebuilt the city and lived in it.  And they named the city Dan, after the name of Dan their ancestor, who was born to Israel; but the name of the city was Laish at the first.   And the people of Dan set up the carved image for themselves, and Jonathan the son of Gershom, son of Moses, and his sons were priests to the tribe of the Danites until the day of the captivity of the land.   So, they set up Micah's carved image that he made, as long as the house of God was at Shiloh.

 

Do you ask questions of God as you read the holy Scriptures, I do often, like why would the people of Dan take a carved image to worship?  And no more than that question came into my mind, it seemed as if the Spirit of God put this thought in my mind.  Why does the church of today bow down to the latest program thought up by a man?  Why does the Church put trust in man, in government, in science, 401K’s, and not in God?

 

Why does the church bow down to the evil that is happening and not preach and teach that it is an abomination to their God?  Why do they expect the term to be placed on them and others, such as white privilege or black privilege, when we have God's privilege, we are God’s children, His family, He is our Father.  Why would anyone that has Christ living in them want or desire anything else?

 

Yes, questions are good, and God is not going to get upset at your questions, but you must be willing to listen and test the answer against the word of God.
