"SAVED" BUT............

As we all set out hearts and minds to working out our own salvation, in fear and in trembling, we are guaranteed to falter along the way, miss it by a long shot on some days, and faill miserably on others. We glorify God in the highest, for mercifully adding a "safety clause" in His plan of redemption, because He knew the frailties of this flesh, and our predisposition to fulfill the lusts and desires thereof, so He gave us a way of escape by establishing " If we would but CONFESS our faults, He is faithful and just, to not only forgive us, but to cleanse us from all unrightousness"! Predictably, many have used this as a license to sin willfully, or to resist the transforming power, and exercise of the Holy Ghost, and have snubbed God's offer for a "divine makeover or overhaul", and continue in the same iniquity, carnality, works of the flesh, and the very things that are "enmity" with God! This is the beginning of their destruction, and it adds many new spots and blemishes to the "Bride", because of stubborn rebellion, and an unyieldedness to not be transformed, by the renewing of their minds, and the washing of the water of the Word!. These "saved" ones are usually found just inside the church vestibule, passsing out fans, and offering envelopes, or "directing traffic" within the sanctuary, with some of the nastiest and most offensive dispositions, and attitudes one would ever want to see, and their excuse, and the excuses given for them are "That's just the way I am, or they are!" Well, I smell a "lying wonder" somewhere in the vicinity, because the Bible declares "If ANY MAN BE IN CHRIST, HE/SHE/THEY IS/ARE A "NEW"CREATURE, AND OLD THINGS HAVE BEEN PASSED AWAY!' So we find these servers/greeters in the house of the Lord, who are "SAVED", BUT as mean as a "gorilla with a tooth ache"! We find some of our leaders who still are well known at the corner "tavern" on the other side of town, and where they are obviously frequent customers because that "shot of Black Label" with a coke chaser ,is set at "their" table as soon as their hips hit the seat, and on Sunday morning,they give the ushers a workout, because they are so "moved by "the Spirit", they can't contain themselves, and so they are "SAVED" BUT still "getting their drink on"! They are not hardly alone, because we also have those who "stalk" a "Friday" because they can't wait to take the largest portion of their paycheck, without deducting "tithes" , down to the "boat" or the casino, to play the slot machines, "black jack", or hit the "bingo hall", and so now, they are "SAVED" BUT, "they know when to FOLD them," but NOT when to walk away, gamblers! Parked next door to the local gambling house, if you hang around and wait long enough, you will probably see the Head Deacon, or Sunday School teacher, exiting the "HIDEAWAY AND BRING A HO-TEL" with some female (or male) who sure enough isn't "Sister Sunday School Teacher", and so they are "SAVED" BUT still fornicating, committing adultery,and indulging their lust and illicit carnal desires! It gets even deeper, because during tax season, most people hustle to reclaim as much of the past years deductions as possible, and so they "buy" other people's dependents, or "manufacture" a few, and hope they don't get caught, and therefore,they are "SAVED" BUT "lying to beat the band", and violating the laws of integrity! On the week-end, if you are in the "right" part of town, it's likely that you'll catch a glimpse of the "minister of music" "in a close embrace" with another "fellow", and maybe even "in drag", and on Sunday morning they are leading you on the "glory train", and yet, they are "SAVED" BUT participating in perversion! But, wait, we can't overlook the Associate Minister, or, maybe the "set man" himself, whom you ran into on your way out of the market, as he was running out of that little shop on the outskirts of town, where they package everything, all their "movies" books, and "paraphanalia in discrete "brown wrappers", and so they are "SAVED" BUT ensnared with pornography! One of the more appallling situations is the "Pastor" whose wife routinely wears "shades" sunshine or no, because the good Pastor routinely gives her "added mascara" (black eyes), or she has to hide the "brises and bumps" she's always rocking, and now we have one who is "SAVED BUT, a violent, ruthless wife-beater! What about those "sisters" who take pleasure in pecking around in other folk's business like chickens in a popcorn factory, always in the middle of the nearest drama or mess, and wreaking havoc in many relationships, friendships, and marriages? Well, I guess that they too, are "SAVED" BUT telling tales, evil speaking,and corrupting good manners! Have you ever wondered about God's position on our "SAVED BUTS"? The answer is that ,without repentance, their "SAVED" BUTS will have no portion in the kingdom of heaven!
