Glen Beck's Rant To The Sin of Sloth - Answer CommunionFire

9/2/2015

I agree Glenn Beck! (see his article below) I'm not a politico but Glenn's rant is calling for accountability from the Church. How should we respond? Glenn mentions a sin that plagued St. Ephraim, the patriarch of our small CommunionFire group. 

Here is the Prayer of St. Ephraim (who by the way, was from the same towns in Syria where we see much of what Glenn is speaking of in his challenge to the Church).

It is the sin of sloth pure and simple! The only way the world will understand the need for repentance is when we, the people of Jesus, become one with each other. It will happen when "we come empty handed in humility believing on Him to His Table". 

We must realize it is Him who wants to see our face and not so much the other way around until we are feeding upon the life He wants to share with us. 

When we look into His eyes everything that is not of Him will melt away. It is then we realize it is His goodness that brings about a Godly sorrow (for our sloth) and then fruit of repentance. 

This humility, born by realizing His goodness and mercy, sets us free to follow the Good Shepherd to His Table. It is there we become one with Him. It is there in His glory we are transformed from glory to glory. To be found in Him and Him in us is quickened by the Holy Spirit as we are “made alive” by the bread of His flesh and the wine of His blood. Ephraim (350 A.D.) says it is the bread of medicine and the fire of the wine that brings us into Communion. John 14-16
Then in John 17 Jesus prays, "Father that they may be one in us as I am in you. That they may be one in us that the world might believe you have sent me." Jesus ties the tangibility of His glorious Kingdom and its visibility to the world to the reality of our ‘real flesh’ and ‘real drink’ (John 6) communion with Him.

When ‘sloth’ is in charge, we won't come to His Table.

It is only with a heart that responds to His invitation to believe we "Do this in remembrance of Him."

3 things:

1)      Do this
The slothful will never ‘do this’ because sloth does ‘not do’.

2)      in remembrance
The slothful pays no attention to the Holy Spirit (John 14:26) who wants to bring all things to our remembrance.

3)      of Jesus!
The sin of the slothful takes no time to be with Jesus at His Table because we are preoccupied, gorging on memories, fed by our own lusts, the world’s offering to gluttons and the devil’s stew.

Do this (often) – in remembrance (to make memories with Jesus by spending time with Him at His Table) – of Me (Jesus) – for there is no other name that can give us His flesh & blood encounter, experience, love and life. He opens our eyes and we recognize. He opens our ears to hear His voice. Then the bread multiplies like seed in the garden of the new hearts He provides in the new creation. The wine flows like a river of life waking up every corpuscle in our body as His quickening courses from head to toe. Then His life in us overflows with His mercy and goodness, following us where ever we go splashing everyone around us.

The implied response of the believer to 'as often as you do this' means to respond to His invitation often. Wesley said in Sermon 101 "Constant communion means at least 4 times per week, and if possible every day." Constant Communion will keep you on your spiritual toes and set you free from sloth, slumber, sleep, distraction and every other demon whose assignment it is to keep you from having Constant Communion!

A morsel of bread and a sip of wine is enough. After we offer the elements to Jesus, in obedience to His invitation, the bread of His body will never grow stale and the wine is of a vintage from heaven. In fact each morsel reveals what Jesus wants to show you in His presence and each sip releases us to hear the message He wants to share with you. Then what He shows you multiplies so you can share your witness with others. What He tells you, you can shout from the housetops. Each morsel of blessed bread will multiply and feed you for the rest of eternity for it is a taste of the feast yet to come. The wine will never lose its power and continue to speak better things than that of Abel.

Do This: When was the last time we responded to the King's invitation to do this?

In Remembrance: When was the last time we considered what 'the remembrance' is?

Of Me: When was the last time we had an inspired, prayerful, Spirit-led discussion about Communion and His presence in Communion?

Until the church wakes up to become communion-centric worshipers we will only be worshipers in theory and in concept, no matter how slick the production and how inspiring it may be. Jesus is the center of heaven’s worship and should be of every church fellowship large or small. Jesus appears to us now in the bread and wine blessed by Him to become what Jesus calls: “My flesh and blood”. Without this He says, “You have no life in you.” Until the quiet revival of the revelation of Jesus happens in Communion, then we all have been lulled into a sloth that will leave us blind and deaf. It is Jesus who is looking to see our face at His Table and to shower us with His life and love and to share the reality of His personal, intimate, ongoing friendship.

You want the suffering and blatant slavery of evil to be done? Cast off the spirit of sloth and get to the Lord’s Table as quickly as you can. There you will find the only one who can bring it to an end. We certainly don’t know how! When we come empty handed Jesus will reveal the fullness of his grace and glory. You will be seated with Him in heavenly places and you will have a front row seat to see that it is Jesus who is building His Church, preparing for His Bride and who has already won the victory for all who will yield to His love and goodness.

Thanks Glen Beck and Pastor Steve.

May the Lord lead each one of us to the Table He has prepared for us in the wilderness in the presence of our enemies! You may have to walk into the valley of the shadow of the Cross to get there, but Jesus has the rod of authority over all evil and the staff of gentleness to nudge you in the right direction. Let Him and He will lead you to His Table of blessing where you will taste and see the Lord is good. Then the world will believe your witness and message and He will confirm it with signs following stretching forth His hand to heal.

I do not recognize my country anymore. This is what happened TODAY!

1. It is open season on our police. Houston, Chicago, Abilene in a week, plus Arby's turns down food in a drive through claiming "we don't serve your kind here. A cop"

2. The senate sides with Iran over Israel, while they chant death to America and put a plaque outside our old embassy calling for our death. The republicans and the democrats are equally at fault. Meanwhile 70% of Americans are against this deal. Representative government is dead.

3. A new planned parenthood video that talks about closing the eyes of the severed heads so those who receive them as spare parts don't freak out --- and congress and the president just added NEW funding to Planned Parenthood today.

4. The army is giving a dishonorable discharge to an 11 year green beret because he punched in the face, an Afghani police chief, who we pay and train. The police chief kidnapped and raped a fifteen year old boy, kept him chained to a bed and then beat his mother as she went to the U.S. Army to beg for help. When these to army soldiers found out and he scoffed at them they punched him. He is out and the Muslim police Chief remains.

5. Christians in Syria given 48 hours to convert, leave or die. Tomorrow they will be slaughtered by Isis and the American church Yawns.

6. A five year old boy washes up on the shores of Greece from Syrians trying to flee and move to Europe. "The caliphate will spread and destabilize Europe." My warning in 2010 which was mocked as madness and something that would never happen because it was "too doomsday." It is happening but we pay no attention and act as if it is now no big deal.

7. We are taking Syrian, Somali and Iraqi Muslims in by the thousands and yet, the state department says it "will consider accepting some Christians next year." Meanwhile children are crucified, women are sold as slaves and girls as young as six are raped 8 to ten times a day. Within 18 months there will be no Christians in Iraq and Syria.

8. Hilary's email scandal continues and she is not going to go to jail.

9. Black lives matter organizer says it is open season on white people and blacks "need to pick them off one by one." TV networks ignore the threats and praise them, democrats meet with them and talk about their bravery.

10. A Teenager in high school claims he "feels" like a girl and insists on using the girls bathroom and shower. When girls protest and walk out, school officials and "experts" chastise them for being "insensitive". Reporters call HIM - "her" repeatedly and we are called the science deniers!

I have watched and warned that much of this would come to pass. We are headed in the wrong direction at 1000mph. We have passed all the exits and the bridge up ahead is out.

I have no political advice to offer. No president can turn this around. We must stop the car and turn around.

We must change our ways. We must unite and restore common sense, common principles and values.

Please read Jeremiah 7. A warning for today. See you on the radio tomorrow with real solutions. Many may be offended by them.

But when a culture is this upside down, the truth will always be offensive. (See what the people did to Stephen when he simply told them their own history.

We cannot make a difference as I believe, we are too far gone. BUT, and this is really important, WE CAN separate ourselves from it and make sure we are on record as not endorsing it. We must be seen by our creator and remembered by our children and grandchildren as standing against evil.

"Woe to them that call good evil and evil good"

Goodnight America.

May God forgive us for our apathy, sloth, self imposed ignorance, and arrogance. I pray that somehow before it is total destruction and all of our cities are burning, our dollar has collapsed and our police are afraid to go outside that we turn our face to Him and in His mercy and grace saves the republic.

    This was a Campus Crusader who wanted Early Church authenticity - I was called into the ministry under the street preaching of this wonderful Man of God in Berkeley, CA in 1971. He was a founder of God's Love household for Street Christians, the publisher of the Jesus People's Movement called "Right On" and through an amazing series of transformations throughout his ministry He was a founder of The University of Orthodox Theology (now called St. Athanasius Academy of Orthodox Theology) and oversaw the creation of The Orthodox Study Bible before the Lord moved him to his new address in heaven. Thanks Fr. Jack N. Sparks, Ph.D The Witness of Jack and his estimed Associates from Grace Haven Farms, New Covenant Apostolic Order, The Evangelical Orthodox Churches and theis eventual assimilation into the Antiochian Orthodox Church of America is truely one of the Great Church Histories of the 20th and 21st Century.

    Luke 3:16 "He will baptize you with the Holy Ghost and fire."  Ask Jesus to baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire today.
    Another significant influence in my life is the life and ministry of Winkey Pratney. His lifelong commitment to the study and application of Revival as both an apologist and polemicist raised the bar for me and he accomplished what I only dreamed - to Produce the Revival Study Bible. He has also been an intrinsic Man of God from the days of the Jesus People Movement and a part of my experience as a visiting teacher at Christ for the Nations in Dallas in 1975 and one of the principles in Y.W.A.M. Youth With A Mission that has had a direct impact on my sister, daughters, nephews and grandchildren. Thanks Brother Winkey for the legacy you have deposited into my life and the life of so many others.
