How many Christian folks are
wondering if we are in The Last Days? How many look at our social
standards and wonder how long before God judges The U.S.? The Church?
How many look at the pure chaos that is The Visible Church in America
and wonder?
You are not alone. The World is
wondering too. Biblical values, biblical standards are rapidly
declining, all around the world. The West has been Christianity's
Stronghold and that can no longer be said. Europe has been 'gone' for
decades, America is now follow Europe's lead.
We [Christians] divorce at will;
justify fornication and even adultery, in some cases ["I'm
getting a divorce!"]; kill our unborn at the same rate as do
those who know not God; use gutter language, even taking the Lord's
name in vain; look, with an understanding eye, upon homosexuality and
burn our bodies in death [to save money].
We are a Pagan Society, giving
lipservice to God. The question is not: Will God judge us? He already
is! How? By allowing us to pursue all these detestable and disgusting
things [Read Romans 1]
Individuals and societies that
love The Lord do not do these things....unless God allows. The Bible
teaches us that God allows what we insist on having! We have insisted
on having an open mind regarding sinful behaviors.
Now, the world is paying
attention: Military and Political Leaders around the world are
wondering what America is doing. We are abandoning our Western
Partners in favor of our Eastern Enemies.
A U.S. Admiral says the U.S. is
losing dominence to China. Iran's top Nuclear Negotiator says they
can re-start uranium enrichment in 24 hrs, if they choose. Iran's top
leaders are claiming Victory in the Nuclear Talks. A British Senior
Defense Advisor says President Obama is 'chronically incapable of
military strategy.' 'He has no clear sense of what he wants to do, in
the world.' A top Defense Minister in Israel says Sec. of State,
Kerry, is 'inexplicably obsessive' and 'messianic' in his efforts to
achieve a Palestinian State. He is 'out of touch.'
This week Congress passed a
1500-page Spending Bill. Representatives and Senators, alike, are
admitting no one read the bill. This is Immoral! The last large Bill
they didn't read was the Affordable Care Act. How's that working out?
Yes, dear Christian, we are in
The Last Days! God has 'turned us over' to our own desires. The
visible expression of Christianity is corrupt. The popular expression
of The Gospel, isn't the biblical Gospel at all. Leadership in the
church goes to the most dynamic, dramatic and photogenic. Preaching
has largely ceased. In its place is 'A Teaching.' We are now being
educated in a series of "How-To's" when what we need is the
Prophet's Warning!
What value is it, if we raise
our children well and they lose their souls? What value is a good
marriage or a balanced budget, if we have not Peace? What good is a
healing or a prophetic word, if our hearts are not atuned to God? God
has ordained Preaching! Preaching is the declaration of propositional
truth! A statement, from God, that proposes a response, from God's
people. A Teaching is simply instructive. Do you see the difference?
God Does!
