Slavic Christians need Jesus

Dear Slavic “Christian,” if you read your Bible, you wouldn’t be thinking, feeling, and acting according to the sin you’ve allowed into your life that you refuse to part with. When will you stop living like a slave and act like the Child of The King that you are because of His sacrifice on the Cross?

The relevance of God’s Word for His Bride, which my Slavic Christian community claims they are, is unquestionable. This eye-opening passage speaks of God’s justice when His people disobey Him. Read below and notice just how parallel this sounds to the sins that my “Christian” community is engaging in…

Ezekiel 20:4-12

…”Then confront them with the detestable practices of their ancestors and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: On the day I chose Israel, I swore with uplifted hand to the descendants of Jacob and revealed myself to them in Egypt. With an uplifted hand I said to them, “I am the Lord your God.” On that day I swore to them that I would bring them out of Egypt into a land I had searched out for them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the most beautiful of all lands. And I said to them, “Each of you, get rid of the vile images you have set your eyes on, and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.”

“‘But they rebelled against me and would not listen to me; they did not get rid of the vile images they had set their eyes on, nor did they forsake the idols of Egypt. So I said I would pour out my wrath on them and spend my anger against them in Egypt. But for the sake of my name, I brought them out of Egypt. I did it to keep my name from being profaned in the eyes of the nations among whom they lived and in whose sight I had revealed myself to the Israelites. Therefore, I led them out of Egypt and brought them into the wilderness…”

During the USSR period, our Slavic Christian forefathers lived in bondage, persecution, poverty, torture, and death.

They cried out to God, who delivered them to America, which many thought was the “Promised Land.”

We came here as religious refugees. What happened? Our secret sin and wicked characters were finally exposed.

We didn’t thrive here like Christians in freedom; we retained our slave mindsets and continued to grumble against God and worship the same idols we worshiped there: religion (legalism), workaholism, and pursuit of money, sexuality, addiction, and self.

It’s no wonder my people rape, molest, commit suicide and homicide, are drug and sex addicts, have divorce rates that are similar to that of the world, and love to control from the pulpits…

God gave us up to our depravity, and it will not be until we acknowledge our sin and need for His salvation that we will repent, and He’ll turn towards us with mercy again.
