They were there for the festival.

They were there to have church.

But just because you're present doesn't mean you're not going to hell.

They were in the right city at the right time at the right feast with the right language and they still needed to be saved.

you can be at the festival and still miss the father.

And he says, a crooked generation, a crooked generation is dangerous because it does not really understand how to manage its behavior.

It bends the ruler you use to measure behavior.

And after a while, when the ruler is crooked, everything crooked starts to look straight.

If I walk around like this all day long, eventually,

this is gonna look straight and this is gonna look wrong.

You can be saved from the world and still be disciplined by its measurements.

In an American church, it has produced comment section prophets and keyboard apostles and thread theologians.

I'm gonna just read this so I don't say nothing crazy.

People with a public pulpit, but no private altar.

It lets people critique the church publicly while avoiding repentance privately.

It rewards heat more than holiness and speed more than wisdom and reactions more than revelation.

It is somehow Bible fingers have turned into TikTok fingers and the very same hands that used to highlight scriptures now throw stones in comment sections.

See, a platform with altered altar will eventually make you opinions seem like they're prophecies.

Y'all get that when you get home.

A church does not need louder opinions from unsubmitted hearts.
