Men, woman, religions and governments, along with law courts, magistrates police and church leaders have all in one way or more deliberately or mistakenly or because of people pressure .. have disregarded the balance.

Here is the balance .. loving kindness, judgement and righteousness.

LET HIM WHO GLORIES, GLORY IN THIS .. THAT HE UNDERSTANDS AND KNOWS ME THAT I AM THE LORD EXERCISING LOVING KINDNESS, JUDGEMENT AND RIGHTEOUSNESS IN THE EARTH FOR IN THESE I DELIGHT . . . . SAYS THE LORD. Jeremiah 9:24.

It is Gods delight, the prophet Jeremiah says.. God loves to judge, He loves righteousness and kindness... the three of them are the balance.

However, when men, women, religions, denominations and money making church leaders start their humanistic balances all goes to the dogs.

Men and women would not have a clue on a true balance .. this is why we have the written and unchangeable word, the unadulterated living word to guide us into balance .. perfect balance. To have perfect balance.. is to walk in the word.. judgement, righteousness and love of God, not man.

It makes me laugh when I here church leaders talk about balance, I ask myself often .. I wonder if these mega rich ministers are saved from the wrath to come or from hell fire eternal??? Matthew 23:31-36.

Most church leaders rendition of .. balance .. is based purely upon that which makes people comfy, happy, financially richer, non offensive preaching teaching and prophecy, peppered with don't judge, don't upset the community gods and goddesses and what ever you do use the word God instead of Jesus.

Hence the .. balance .. of most so called church leaders in Australia today amounts to humanism with church songs, candles, collection plates and trips to Israel nailed to it. Family outings are a specialty in most churches, all because the mega ministers have twigged to the fact that people would probably never darken the door of the local church if there was no social club, kids club, barby girls choirs, men’s breakfasts for the already obese and not to forget the memory lane members, the has-been’s and the would-be’s if they could be's.

As far as I can see the .. balance .. as they call it is basically the denominations standard or the furtherest point you may go without becoming unpopular, hated, excluded, reviled, whispered about or marked for crucifixion whether that be inside or outside the church structures.. amen.

Lets have a look at part two shall we?.. and I shall dig a little deeper into the subject of the .. balance.
