If you are a serious student of God's word, do you at times feel like Lot ?
. . .for that righteous man by what he saw and heard while dwelling among them from day to day was tormenting his righteous soul by reason of their lawless deeds".(2 Peter 2:8)
Can the alarming crime rate and gross immorality among people who profess to be christian be a direct result of the spiritual ignorance of Christendom ?
A cleric of Manhattan' Madison Av Church said: "the world is faced with a religious vacuum on a scale never seen before".
God tells us why this could be the case: " My people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and have hewed out for themselves, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. (Jer 2:13)
According to Jeremiah then, it's because Christendom's religions have strayed from God's Word. They have hewed out for themselves man made cisterns, cisterns that can hold no real spiritual refreshment.
This was admitted by a preacher in Pittsburgh (Earl L.Douglas). He asks "Why have we so often failed in our efforts as ministers?
His answer:"They come seeking for the bread of life, and we frequently offer them philosohy, sociology, psychology, politics and a review of current events.
Are these the broken cistern God was referring to in Jeremiah 2 ?
