When Almighty God
sends repeated warnings to His people, we should ask ourselves when would we
heed them? Will we ever heed them? God's judgment is coming to America, but
first it must come to those of us who claim to be Christians. In fact, His judgment
has already begun. Why? Christians in America have had ample opportunity to
change our wicked ways. However, we choose to go on indulging in behaviors God
has revealed that He hates (Proverbs 6:16-19). But what makes matters worse,
Christians have chosen to go along with our surrounding culture rather than
confront it. We have sat down, shut up, and blended in - no longer salt and
light. I am guilty, too and I pray that God still has grace left to forgive me
and strengthen me for the fight ahead.
Let's take the issue
of abortion, for example. It seems it has become taboo to even bring it up.
Regardless of whether five men wearing black robes declared it okay, it is
still wrong in the eyes of God. All too often I hear abortion is the law of the
land and a woman's right, what can be done? We should start and end with the
truth. 1. Just because it is the, "Law," does not make it right. 2.
Rights come from God - not the government. 3. Rights - like the right to life -
are universal. They apply to all people regardless of race, heritage,
background, station, or gender. Once a benefit applies to a particular class of
people - women - it is a privilege, not a right. 4. God grants life and He
expects His people to protect it. Since God hates hands that shed innocent blood
(Proverbs 6:17); I suspect He would still call an abortion, "Murder"
(Exodus 20:13 NASB).
Unfortunately, 98%
of all abortions in America are performed for the convenience of the mother.
The life of the baby is brutally butchered. That innocent little child has no
way to defend itself. What makes this worse, women who claim to be Christians have
69% of these abortions.
Judgment begins with
the House of God. It is long overdue for Christians - men and women - to repent
of letting this sin live in the camp. But they won't. And for 57 million souls
murdered in their mother's womb, it is too late.
Recently here in
Colorado, a woman who was seven months pregnant and wanted her child had her
baby hacked out of her womb by another woman who ambushed the defenseless
mother-to-be. The evil killer stabbed the pregnant woman and murdered the
unborn baby girl. Now, the self-righteous officers of the court are trying to
figure out if the assailant should be charged with murder of the baby. Common
sense says she should be but unfortunately the culture murdered common sense
decades ago. (
Woman's Baby Brutally Taken)
I know no one will
heed the warnings. Lawlessness breeds more lawlessness. God has given
Christians in America over to their own devices. Calamity is coming. It is
already here and it will get worse. But if God's people will humble themselves
and pray, seek God's face, and turn from their wicked ways - even if the
government says the behavior is okay - then there is a slim chance that God may
hear our cry of repentance, He may yet forgive us of our grievous sins, and
might heal our land. I fear it is too late. I pray I'm wrong.
Mary and I
watched, “Do
You Believe?” produced by Pure Flex, 10 West Studios and Believe
Entertainment. Others told us it was
real good. It was better than, “Real good.” It is one of the best Jesus centered movies
we have seen. If you liked, “God’s
Not Dead,” I have high confidence you will appreciate, “Do You Believe?” From a writer’s perspective, I enjoyed the
complex subplots that came together in a dramatic, intense, and calamitous
climax. The cast of seasoned actors
brought believability to the story characters and their respective
struggles. Those introduced to film did
a credible job, too. I wish I had seen
this excellent work when it first appeared two weeks ago. I guess better late than never. I highly recommend this movie to anyone and
everyone.
