Tuesday, June 04, 2013
All too many religious congregations believe that they can compromise Gods Standards for how things are to be done; thinking God will look the other way because after all, they are trying to use their compromised methods to reach people for Jesus. This is something that appalls the CURRENT Spiritual Remnant of God because they know God is Holy and does not sanction such compromise.

The touching of the Ark of the Covenant was really the secondary sin that resulted in Uzzahs death [2 Samuel 6]. Had Gods original commands been followed, the Ark would have never tilted and Uzzah would have never reached out to touch the Ark.

The Ark was to be transported by man carrying its weight.
This is what is referred to as the greater and lesser degrees of sin. Many times, we are both effected and affected by what might be referred to as a secondary sin in our lives, when really the greater sin is that we did not follow Gods first command. ...
