WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES

WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES
I have lived in communities that had problem traffic areas, such as an especially dangerous railroad crossing or intersection, a blind curve, a dangerous bridge, as well as areas where bridges and roads have been washed away, traffic lights are not working, and where school children either catch the bus or cross a street. Because these areas are high risk locations, the highway department installs road signs to warn the travelers and law enforcement deploys personnel to protect the public. When the proper precautions are not taken, people die and the citizens become irate.

Think how much outrage there would be from the public if there were people destroying the warning signs and creating more dangerous situations.

And it is is almost unthinkable to imagine that the authorities would not hunt down and prosecute the people who are deliberately sabotaging the safety of a community.

The Holy Bible has warned us and advised us about a variety of dangers.

However, the very people who should be making those advisories and warnings available (pastors) to society have become complicit with the chaos creators, and the church people who have Bibles in their own homes have chosen to deny and denounce the God given revelations, and academia and governmental agencies are going around removing the signs and intimidating the voices proclaiming the life saving and, family saving, and community saving message from God.

Christians cannot stand by and allow fellow travelers to drive onto a bridge that is washed out, and therefore be lost in the raging waters. It does not matter that someone will think you are crazy, or fanatical, or dangerous. God does not call us to win popularity contests, He sends us to win souls.

Isaiah 58:1
(1) Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.

SEED THOUGHTS
I like the idea of WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES. This can include traffic, weather, terrorism, product, health dangers. Warnings and Advisories is a major part of what Christians and the Church ought to be doing. Emergency preparedness is another area. Of course, training in righteousness is a focal point. I could go on with this, but I think you see how much work there is for us to do as followers of Jesus.
2 Timothy 3:15-17
(15) And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
(16) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
(17) That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

PASTOR
Here is part of my mission description.
Colossians 1:25-29
(25) Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
(26) Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
(27) To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
(28) Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
(29) Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
