Yes Chip, but I don't think it's a small thing at all...i.e. Prosperity Preachers or Health/Wealth Preachers, etc.  They've generally have become "motivational speakers" rather than preachers of God's Word.  

They point people to themselves, rather than to God.  My thing is people don't have a problem thinking about themselves or selfish thinking, they have a problem with being selfless.  

This is the Scripture that always comes to mind when I think about these wolves in sheeps clothing.

2 Timothy 3:

1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

The biggest problem with these false teachers are the people who sit in those churches.  They want to hear these feel good messages.  They don't want to hear about the cost of following Jesus, they don't want to hear about obedience, they don't want to hear about repentence/forgiveness, they just want their "best life now".  They have no thoughts of eternity...if they did, they would stop being fearful, depressed, unhappy, etc., instead of looking for guidance in all the wrong places, psychologist, prescription pills, government, anything other than Jesus Christ.  Yahweh, Live like you believe Him.  Most don't, they think they do... These are those who like 2 Tim. 4:3 say - For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

This life is fading fast, the Bible describes it as a vapor...

Thank you for praying yall.... My son let me know yesterday that in a few months he may be moving further away. Several states away.  I am so hurt and upset about this. He had said before that in a few months he would be moving closer to me again. My son is a grown man but he isn't saved.... doesn't believe in God... and where he is going is around his friends who feel as he does.  I am pouting and worried. I was counting the months and days so excited that my son would be here near me. I think his reasons to move is spontaneous. I think that's the right word. Please pray he doesn't go.  I really thought he was going to come here and start taking me to church. He didn't say he would but I have mentioned it a time or two before and he acted like he would take me... but I am unsure he would have stayed. I think by him knowing how backwards I am with the outside world he might  go in and wait until I was settled in a seat. This sounds like a whiney selfish mom but really I had some hope ... and now it seems zapped. I am sorry yall I needed to get that off my chest. Thank you again for your past prayers.

I haven't stopped Confused, it wasn't a one day affair for me.  I am very confident in my Lord and Savior.  :)

Thank you Elaine for your prayers for me too.  I am not surprised for I see how you are such a prayer warrior. Im going to be a little selfish and ask you if when you pray fpr me , you will also pray for my kids and grand kids. I am not a prayer warrior like you and others here but I do sometimes try to keep up with the prayer room and agree with them.

"It would be awesome to hear a human voice tell me about who Jesus is. But, I don't know if there are any churchs around where I live that still does that."

Confused, 

I've been praying and thinking about you all day and night last night.  I am praying that your desire will be fulfilled.  I don't know why I'm posting this, usually I won't, I like it to remain between the Lord and I, but I wanted you to know this.

I was just thinking to myself... I can't say anything, it doesn't matter what i think, at all, I should have left it alone.  I am now, this is between you and the Lord, Confused, this will always be about you and the Lord.

I believe you love Him.  I also believe that you already know who Jesus is, you've displayed Him several times since I've been here.
