And The Answer Is...........

We are but dust the Bible says, and because of our short sightedness we are always looking for an answer we can see.  Look at the children of Israel for example.  When Moses went up to speak to God on Mount Sinai because he was there so long the children of Israel thought he was dead, and therefore turned from their faith in the Lord, and fashioned for themself a god to go before them (a golden calf).

We know how that part of history ends, more than 3000 were destroyed.  Salomon says it so well “There is nothing new under the sun” Ecclesiastes 1:9.

We as Americans are acting like the children of Israel, instead of fashioning for ourselves a golden calf to worship; we worship the “GOVERNMENT”.   Is government really our provider and the answer to all our ills? We must think so, that’s why we voted for an ever larger government, with more and more power.

What we don’t realize is it is to our destruction of our own freedom, and the enslavement of our future, but I guess to us the answer we are looking for is our security.

Lord I pray for my fellow American’s that they see what they are doing to themselves; they are running head long to destruction and enslavement to an ever powerful government.  Let us see that the answer is You.  You are our security and freedom in Jesus name Amen

Election Reflection

Since the election I had time to think, and have come to this conclusion: Do we as Christians realize what the people of America voted for. Have we really said with our vote “We choose no moral direction we want a secular American where the government is responsible to take care of all of my needs.” Has the mainstream media brainwashed us to believe that our rights and freedoms come from government and not from God.

Do we really want a secular American where sin is no longer sin, and wrong is no longer wrong? Where there is no honor virtue or righteousness, hard work and achievement is frowned upon and a husband a wife committed to each other is a thing of the past.

We want others to pay for our immorality by supplying us with free contraception, and abortion on demand.  And we choose gay marriage, and we support the gay life style as legitimate and honorable, and without the judgment of God.

God’s people and His Word are holding back this great new world of anything goes.  If the Christians can only be silenced, and marginalized then this brave new America can finally be set free from all this moral bondage and the secularist can free at last.

Lord what have we chosen for ourselves?  May we turn to you and run back as fast as we can into your arms of love and forgiveness. Only you can heal our land.  Help we pray in Jesus name Amen.

Thanksgiving

When I read the Scripture in Matthew 24:12; “Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold” (NAS).

I see lawlessness every day, in every aspect of life. No longer do people take responsible for their behavior, poor choices, or bad decisions.  It’s always somebody else’s fault. Someone else will pay for my failure. 

I am thankful for all the usual things, my family, the Lord’s grace and mercy. But I am most thankful for “TIME”.

Time….. God has given us to keep praying for our children and our loved ones who are not yet saved.

Time…..For God to WOOO my children and grandchildren, and bring them close to Him so they will fall passionately in love with the Kingdom of God and His Word.

Time…..For my children to turn their backs on this world, and turn to the world everlasting where righteousness dwells.

Time…..For my children to hone their skills and talent to make their dreams come true. Not wasting valuable time paying for poor choices and bad decisions.

Time…..To have the Lord work out His perfect will in my life, and my family’s life.

It is stated so clearly in 2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slow about  His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient towards you not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.” (NAS)

Nothing we build on this earth will matter if our names our not written in the Lambs Book of Life.  So I say to you dear friends and family, “TIME” IS A GREAT GIFT TO BE THANKFUL FOR, but remember our ”TIME” will soon be up.

Lord you are gracious and slow to anger, but soon you will call us to account.  May we be found in you.  In Jesus name Amen.
