    Amen.

    These last 4 years has exposed some true hearts in the churches. It's becoming more obvious as time goes on that the church's contentious mood isn't about economic woes, but who is in charge of the economics. National problems are always with us, but never has there been a time where the church raises up an ugly voice and demands carnal justification. It is scary when the angry voices are coming from within the church.

    I believe the Lord is exposing the underbelly of a lukewarm church.

    Eccl. 12:14 - "For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil."
