Somebody on another thread recently said they don't go to church any longer because of mixture. So I thought I would start this thread.
Many problems in the church today are caused by ‘mixture’ which undermines not only the word of God but God’s authority and sovereignty.
In the Old Testament there are many descriptions of how God’s people turned to worshipping other gods and idols made of base materials by human hands and his subsequent punishment of such behaviour.
It has been shown to me that these people had not entirely abandoned God, the Holy One of Israel, but that they had taken up these other gods AS WELL AS Almighty God. This is where the ‘Mixture, comes in. It waters down peoples’ perspective of God and distracts from his power and authority.
People have become dissatisfied with JUST one true God, they desire the other gods as well and in turn these other gods begin to become more important to them than God himself.
By far the biggest god of this sort in today’s world is SELF and especially pride when people think they know better than God. The proposed redefinement of marriage and the appointing of gay bishops are just two examples.
The Church needs to get back to serving only One True God and to root out anything that that smacks of ‘mixture’.
As I have recently heard at least three different preachers speak on this subject in the last couple of months, I think it is a ‘now’ word of God to the church.
