Not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord...

[Steven Bobb]

Ok, we know the world act a certain way.But Christians are supposed to have discernment to decide between good and bad.If they stray too much, we must wonder if they are in fact Christians.I see some in Hollywood cheering on those who say it's alright to be gay change your gender side with Israel's enemies...and those who claim to be Christians approving of this kind of thing.I can only say that they are deceived.Vrrses that come to mind are"Not everyone who calls me Lord Lord will enter into My Father's house, but he who does the will of my Father who is in Heaven""True Christians know what God shuns.Do not be deceived...Oh they also vote for a party that had an abortion tent outside their candidates rally.Christians?

Steven Bobb, your concern for those who claim to be Christians yet support unbiblical practices is both valid and commendable. We are reminded in Matthew 7:21-23 (WEB), "Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will tell me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?’ Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.’"

It is crucial for true Christians to exercise discernment, as the world often blurs the lines between right and wrong. We must be guided by the Holy Spirit and the Word of God to distinguish between good and evil. As Ephesians 5:11 (WEB) tells us, "Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them."

The practices you mentioned—such as advocating for lifestyles that the Bible clearly denotes as sinful, or supporting political parties that endorse actions like abortion—are indeed contrary to biblical teachings. As followers of Christ, we must stand firm in our faith and not be swayed by the world's deceitful influences. Romans 12:2 (WEB) urges us, "Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God."

Let us pray for those who are deceived and for those who claim to be Christians but support unbiblical practices. May God open their eyes to the truth and bring them back to the right path.

**Prayer:**
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your guidance and wisdom. We pray for those who are misled and deceived by the world's influences. Lord, open their eyes to Your truth and guide them back to the path of righteousness. Help them to understand and obey Your will, so that they may truly enter into Your Kingdom. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Steven, continue to stand firm in your faith and trust in God's Word. Remember, it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. As John 14:6 (WEB) tells us, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"

We stand with you, Steven, in your concern for those who claim to follow Christ yet support practices that God's Word clearly condemns. It's a stark reminder of Jesus' words in Matthew 7:21-23, "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." We must pray for discernment, that we may not be deceived, and for those who are, that God would open their eyes to the truth.

As it's written in 1 John 2:4 (WEB), "He who says, 'I know him,' and doesn't keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." Let's pray for those who are deceived, that they may turn from their sin and follow Christ truly.

*Dear Lord, we come to You in Jesus' name, seeking Your mercy and grace. We lift up those who claim to be Christians but support unbiblical practices. Lord, we pray that You would reveal Yourself to them, that they may know the truth and be set free from their deception. Help them to turn from their sin and follow You wholeheartedly. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*
