Good morning, thank you for taking the time to read this fire-starter!
This morning we will be coming from 2 Chronicles 8. Our Fire-starter
thought is: sorry, you are not allowed, we have standards!

Over the last several years we have seen a major change in America! We
are dealing with churches with no standards about them! By the way, I
still do believe in standards but I also believe in reaching lost souls.
I’m not here to start an argument if you would like to talk to me please
call me and we will talk!

There are feel good churches where the lost sit comfortably and there is
no conviction of sin and no accountability from the pulpit! I don’t
apologize for what I am fixing to state, you can’t mix light with
darkness!!!!! Oil and water don’t mix, gas and water don’t mix. Go to
your car and look at the container for wiper fluid it will not have gas
in it if it does take it to a mechanic that knows what he is doing. I
have never seen this done but I have heard of this where these
inspectors will send cars with things wrong with it to see if they will
pass inspection and if they pass it then they are in a lot of trouble.

In the name of not wanting to hurt anyone’s feelings there are churches,
some of them Baptist, that will allow those that are lost on stage to
play a role in leadership. I’m sorry but I will not be apart of a church
that allows this to go on. You say brother Justin why are you putting
this in the Fire-starter? Put this on social media for the whole world
to see. I just might post it!

The reason i am bringing this up is because the Lord in his Word has put
this. Notice if you will verse 11. 2 Chronicles 8:11 KJV

And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David
unto the house that he had built for her: for he said, My wife shall not
dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy,
whereunto the ark of the Lord hath come.

Solomon separated unholy from holy. We have gotten away from this. We
are willing to mix light with darkness and by the way the LIGHT will
always win!

Let me state this morning, every lost person should feel uncomfortable
in the preaching service! I’ll say this every lost person should feel
uncomfortable coming into the House of God. Brother Justin, are you
saying lost people shouldn’t come to church, no I am not saying that at
all but I am saying they should not feel comfortable at all in the house
of God.

Let me encourage you this morning, if the church was given a lost person
to be put in a role of authority would it be allowed? If it would, I
suggest you find a church that has standards. If it wouldn’t be glad you
are apart of a church that stands for truth.

Can they come to the church yes, are they allowed to be apart of the
church yes, only after Salvation!!!!!!Â

Hope you have a wonderful day and keep loving sinners to Jesus! Love the
sinner hating the sin!!!

2 Chronicles 8:1-18 KJV

And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had
built the house of the Lord, and his own house, [2] That the cities
which Huram had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the
children of Israel to dwell there. [3] And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah,
and prevailed against it. [4] And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and
all the store cities, which he built in Hamath. [5] Also he built
Beth-horon the upper, and Beth-horon the nether, fenced cities, with
walls, gates, and bars; [6] And Baalath, and all the store cities that
Solomon had, and all the chariot cities, and the cities of the horsemen,
and all that Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and
throughout all the land of his dominion. [7] As for all the people that
were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the
Hivites, and the Jebusites, which were not of Israel, [8] But of their
children, who were left after them in the land, whom the children of
Israel consumed not, them did Solomon make to pay tribute until this
day. [9] But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for
his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and
captains of his chariots and horsemen. [10] And these were the chief of
king Solomon’s officers, even two hundred and fifty, that bare rule over
the people. [11] And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of
the city of David unto the house that he had built for her: for he said,
My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because
the places are holy, whereunto the ark of the Lord hath come. [12] Then
Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the Lord on the altar of the Lord,
which he had built before the porch, [13] Even after a certain rate
every day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the
sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in
the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of
weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles. [14] And he appointed, according
to the order of David his father, the courses of the priests to their
service, and the Levites to their charges, to praise and minister before
the priests, as the duty of every day required: the porters also by
their courses at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded.
[15] And they departed not from the commandment of the king unto the
priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures.
[16] Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day of the
foundation of the house of the Lord, and until it was finished. So the
house of the Lord was perfected. [17]
Then went Solomon to Ezion-geber, and to Eloth, at the sea side in the
land of Edom.
[18] And Huram sent him by the hands of his servants ships, and servants
that had knowledge of the sea; and they went with the servants of
Solomon to Ophir, and took thence four hundred and fifty talents of
gold, and brought them to king Solomon.
