Psalms 2, 110:1-5
Hebrews 11:32-12:2
John 15:1-16
We live in the 'Bible Belt' or it may otherwise be known as the 'prosperity gospel belt'. "Be nice, be good in front of people, be friendly" is the message purported given by many of the Houston mega churches. To be fair some of them also have a healthy dose of hell and damnation accompanied by intolerance of other forms of worship. You will need more than the fingers on your hands and the toes on your feet to count the Mercs and Beemers with the Lexuses (or is it Lexi) in the parking lot on a Sunday Morning or a Wednesday evening.
Hebrews 11:32-12:2
All these guys are in the old testament. They followed what they thought was their God-given message yet Bad Things happened to them. Well maybe. Perhaps it depends on your definition of bad. Maybe following God is the only true good in life.
