John 3:20 "For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved." People need to understand that God is not pleased with sinfulness whether by His own or those that are not His. God continually warned the Israelite not to sin, not to serve this world and it’s evil and the Israelites continually ignored God and His words of warning. God has boldly warned us that we cannot serve to masters (God and mammon) Matt. 6:24 "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon." And the reason is that one opposes the other. This world system is controlled by Satan and therefore it opposes God in every way. If a believer in Christ gets much involved with the world or the things of it they will oppose God and His Holiness. Evil hates light and if one walks in the darkness of this world they also will oppose God and His Holiness whether they believe they do or not. The greatest examples are the religious institutions call churches, they (as sad as it is to say) oppose God. They serve themselves instead of God and this is the reason they do not properly worship God and His Holiness. This is the reason they accept any wind of doctrine instead of truth. Most of them will even admit that they do not teach or serve doctrine, well the definition of doctrine is instruction in scripture, therefore they openly admit that they do not teach or believe instruction from Gods word. How can a believer understand God and His will if they are not taught instruction in the scriptures. Even Jesus Christ admitted in John 7:16 "Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me." that He taught doctrine and it was Gods doctrine. Now we can clearly see why these worldly religious institutions called “churches” are full of scripturally clueless people. This is why Paul said in Ephesians 4:14 “That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;” that people will believe anything taught by man as truth even though God had declared that they would change the truth into a lie. Romans 1:25 "Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen." This horrible change of truth into a lie caused man to serve the creature instead of God which is exactly what you get in these “churches” (so to speak). One cannot hide behind their membership in one of these religious institutions because it is sinful and God said "...ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out." Numbers 32:23 God in our text scripture told us "For every one that doeth evil hateth the light…” or they hate the truth and even despise it because they have changed Gods truth into a lie and love the lie more than the truth. God also said in our text scripture “…neither cometh to the light…” they will become satisfied believing the lie of Satan and will not return to the truth and the reason is they have come to hate the truth. God finished our text scripture with these words “…lest his deeds should be reproved." The word “reproved” means – to discover a lie – and this is the reason; they have been lead into lies and untruths therefore repentance is unlikely. They will hate those who attempt to warn them and despise them for trying to tell them. This is why they sit in these religious places of untruth, as deniers of Gods truths as though it is truth, all the time singing their Contemporary music, waving their hands, believing any wind of “truth” as long as it is not the truth of God, shouting “we will not believe nor teach doctrine.” Believing that some how they are pleasing God. If you are a believer of Christ and are in one of these places of religious worship; come on back to where the truth is taught and a Sovereign God is truly worshiped. before it is to late.

I would like to welcome you to my blog. It is my purpose to bring glory to the glorious name of my Saviour Jesus Christ. It is my hope and prayer that you are saved from eternal damnation if not please read the following scriptures.
Acts 8:35-38 "Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. (36.) And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? (37.) And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. (38.) And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him."
Acts 16:30-31 "And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? (31.) And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."
