ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS....
As we watch so much death and destruction in the wake of the COVID-19 virus. I am encouraged by the promises of the Lord God. I am also compelled to remind the Christian Nation that we are soldiers. Soldiers take orders. Execute them with precision. No doubt, no regret. Our job is to spread the beautiful Gospel of Jesus Christ and live separately from the world while we are in it. Not to be conformed into a bunch of self serving, well dressed yes-men who are fooled by the temporary comforts of this world, forsaking eternity for a trinket.
COVID 19 is our modern day Assyrian invasion..with no respect of person; economic class; race; sex or religious preference. It has one job and that is to destroy, replicate and destroy again. It has cost people life, limb and lively hood. We have seen our already frail infrastructure crumble and made suddenly very aware of our need for one another. Our government, try as they might, has given 100% effort in some areas and completely failed in others. Leaders showing they are inept for the task they have been voted into for one reason alone. PRIDE
Our country, founded on Christian principles, has fallen into: idolatry, child sacrifice, pride, lack of compassion, greed, lack of correction and promotion of evil over good. We resist even the basic of moral codes as a rule of function at all levels of our society. Instead of welcoming the stranger we shut him down, watch his family struggle and starve while we adhere to a broken, useless, ridiculous sets of false religious piety which does the very opposite of what JESUS CHRIST asked us to do. We scoff at the Pharisees and Sadducee about how they could so terribly fail at seeing the living God in flesh in front of them. Yet we ignore the cry of a human being who is destined to live. Instead we harvest her organs for some worthless purpose and ignore the degradation of our souls.
It is past time for the True Church, not the watered down crumbling idol that condones its members sins under the misunderstood umbrella of acceptance. News Flash: WE ARE ALL SINNERS SAVED BY GRACE! The form of the sin that is represented is like debating potato or potatoe (misspelled on purpose). The Holy Father doesn't accept anybodies sin. Period! We are to come to Him and lay it all out and take up our cross that accompanies us during the lifelong process of sanctification. In short we come to Christ as we are, poor, wretched and naked but we will not remain the same. Not when our desire is to be like Christ. That means we accept His Word, His Commandments, His Definitions of what we are and move forward.
We are the dam that is holding back the flood. We need to have His compassion, drive and single-minded determination to share His love with all who will accept Him as their own. It starts with praying for repentance, revival, refreshing and renewing in the church. With fresh fire to preach His Word as given. Then prayer to grow a backbone and live out our faith especially in the places were we are not "allowed" to. So what if that means you can't sit with the popular kids or be invited to the water cooler for off color remarks and gripe sessions. It does mean even if you are not liked you will be respected and you are always loved.
So move forward! In the face of opposition and new buzz words like judgmental: intolerant: discriminatory:close minded: or holier-than-thou. We are in the end time..4th quarter...the 2 minute warning has sounded. Dig in. Apply what you know. Press closer to God. Leave the outcome to Him.
He has already told you what happens in the end.
