So now that we understand each other better ... lets go back to the subject of this thread ...
Has the Famine Begun? Lets look again at the scripture Amo 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water,
but of hearing the words of the LORD: It does not say the famine is for fellowship or for worship? No....
Its a famine for hearing the words of Lord .... This is the exact point we have been making that most churches do not teach the word of the Lord/the Bible that is the scriptures precept upon precept line upon line chapter and verse... They teach the message of the good news, they teach repentance and salvation, they worship, pray, sing, provide fellowship, even do good works, all noble things ...
But they do not teach Gods Word .... And that's what the famine is for ... By the time they are through with the milk and their men's traditions (Easter,Christmas ect) and then their doctrinal beliefs what ever they maybe ..There is no time nothing given to the
Word of God .... Thats why the answer is
yes the famine is not only begun its well under way as people barely understand the differance of worship and fellowship and learning Gods Word .... They even often put church worship and tradition above Gods Word... Point in fact how many of the church's are going to stop celebrating Easter ..simply because its not in Gods Word? Which is more important to them ...Gods Word or their traditions ? does this mean we are to stop attending church stop worshiping ...
Heaven forbid NO!!... But we are to be aware of the short comings of our churchs and take it on ourselves to learn his Word When we are called up for judgement we will be all alone our church wont be there when God ask why you didnt know his Word ...replying "my church only worshiped" is not going to cut it ..He will say I wrote you a letter/book did you read it learn it ?...
