Church leaders realize that their members really just want to come and go home with no responsibilities. Jesus confronts us and rebukes us with love. Our leaders should also.

God has always been an easy out for us instead of pointing to ourselves we always point at others and God esp. since he seldom talks back. I think our stubborness is from our infancy which some of us are still living. God I think is patient, but at the same time I think his patience wears thin too. Sometimes I know he gets tired of our whinning and just puts his foot down.

I had a pastor who treated me badly and I couldn't understand it. I was indeed angry and down right ugly. I couldn't understand why she couldn't have come to me and asked me to sit out of the choir for awhile rather she didn't tell me she caused some else to humilate me by raising his voice with me. Looking back now I can see maybe she didn't like to be upfront with leaders within the church. She was quite articulate the next day. It was a strange situation since if I have a problem with someone I go to the person and sit down and talk to them. I think this is why people leave the church today. I chose not to let it carry me away, but boy was it tempting. I felt God wanted to test me to see if I would stand up for him or was I going to run.

We all have allot to learn about growing up in this life. Some are sooner learners and some are later learners. It's in the journey and I feel God is the leader. I think Moses and Aaron are angry as all of us-a liitle insecure or not ever been called to stand up and be all they can be after all we aren't the most well-thought of people-the top of the race or the smartest or the richest we are the downtrodden, the one's who are on the top of our game. Yes I believe it was fear or unbelief both/or accurate since he comes to the weakened and considered the bottom class of people. We are neither but we are thought of in this manner. I remember when I was very sick I would tell my family if someone would show me how I would make it in this world and I meant it. I never believed it would happen to me but I knew if my chance would ever come which it did and I did with the Master's help. At first when he did I still had the mindset of not being able to withstand today's problems, but I broke it down into minutes, then hours, then days called living in the now so I can accomplish anything for a second. To make a commitment to another-takes allot of encouragement and support and if you are given this and still whine and carry on it makes the other angry thus God's anger on a bigger scale.

I have had perorids when I was in fear of my life when God gets angry with me. I was young in mind at that time. Today after years of hearing him call me to do things I have learned to say, "Here I am Lord send me." This has been awile in coming.

Because the were refusing to love him. we know not when he will return. Excuses show not serious or that we lie.

Judgement is given to those who don't come in grace is given to the ones who come in. Evangelize is for each one to tell of Christ to ones who do not hear. The banquet is the day we are called up to Heaven when Christ returns.

The Kingdom is small and narrow where few will obey and enter in, but it grows greatly when we spread God's word and love. The banquet is large and diverse with the few who truly worship him for narow is the way for the selective few who enter in.
