Will SBC Set Their Sail Into The Mist Of A Siren's Song

Or Hold The Ship Steadily On Course ... In God's Will

There was a Greek mythology which claimed there were certain seas where, lurking in the darkening mist, lay islands of steep, massive clefts of stone, rising above rocky shores where lie broken, sea washed ships full of dead sailors bones... drawn there by the lusty voice of lovely sirens singing of love and pleasure. These, imagined, lovely women sirens, beckoning with their songs of desire mesmerized the sailors on passing ships and enticed they to come to their shore for eternal happiness and gratification. So sailors set their sails to carry them aside from their commissioned destination and sailed through the mist into the rocky, treacherous destruction of their fantasy. Leonardo da Vinci wrote of the Siren, "The siren sings so sweetly that she lulls the mariners to sleep; then she climbs upon the ships and kills the sleeping mariners." The Myth is not Holy Scripture ... but alludes to a Scriptural truth... deviation from truth is deviation into error and destruction.

It was only a Greek myth but contained a large application of fleshly, human inclination and truth application .... Which lusts for self-will rather than God's will. Perverting the commitment of Jesus' words, "Not my will but thine be done" to "Not thy will but mine be done". Lucifer brought the perversion with him when he was cast out of heaven, where he also set his sail against God's will for him and yielded to the siren song of delusion that drove him to destruction.  Adam and Eve were then deceived by his evil siren song and ruined the whole human race on the rocky shores of disobedience.
And that same siren song of "My will", "My feelings", "My opinion" ... rather than "Thus saith the Lord" draws us out of God's will and even pseudo "Ministers of God". So, they lead thousands of their followers out of God's word and God's calling, into that darkening mist of a siren's song and into eternal loss and shame.

Here is what is happening ... or trying to happen...
