What price do you place on your conscience? Or do you feel you have a price tag? We might say no, but I think the answer is yes.

Just a question of the type of denomination you like the most. Sometimes it can even be in the form of spiritual pride.

In these days of super ministries it is easy to see how numbers become so important to some. They become a god.

Not that we will necessarily admit to such obsession or idols, but it does affect us just the same. And always will if we are honest.

That can be difficult at times. We don't enjoy admitting any sins, but that doesn't mean much in terms of behavior.

Now I have to confess that I am amazed at how often people really are quite content being in such situations. They don't mind them at all.

However, none of which is necessarily sane or remotely logical. But they do feel so good following the process in any event.

I do wish though that they would spare me the need to justify their behavior with some excuse. Or decide to come up with some untrue interpretation of scriptures to feel good about their approach.

None of which truly works in God's view. Oh if we get enough people to agree with our point of view it has to be the truth.

Sounds so wonderful. And I wish it was true, but it isn't reality. Just another trip down denial's path.

Which doesn't bring one closer to God in any way. No matter how much we feel better in the process.

However, we know this is a practice that will always be popular and attract more fans that the truth. It doesn't even matter if everyone is wrong if you have enough numbers.

It is all a sad spiritual farce. No one in heaven is laughing though. Nor would they have reason to when God is not honored in the process.

How sad it is when faith gets bent sideways and nobody notices. They all think everything is the same.

Only it never is. Just in the mind, which is too busy lying to itself to even care what the truth is.
