Stand Strong

Psalms 11:3 “If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do?”  The
Message paraphrase says in verses 1 - 3 “Iʼve already run for dear life straight to the
arms of God. So why would I run away now when you say, “Run to the mountains; the
evil bows are bent, the wicked arrows Aimed to shoot under cover of darkness at every
heart open to God. The bottomʼs dropped out of the country;  good people donʼt have a
chance”?

Those words of King David seem to ring true today in America as I see it.  Malachi 2:17
(Message paraphrase) “You make God tired with all your talk.“How do we tire him out?”
you ask. By saying, “God loves sinners and sin alike. God loves all.” And also by saying,
“Judgment? Godʼs too nice to judge.” 

As I look at the Word of God, I do not see what we in America define as “political
correctness”.  God does love the people of this world - enough so that He gave His Son
as ransom.  The price for sin has been paid by the Blood of Jesus Christ for all who
believe on Him.  God however, hates sin.  When men, even those calling themselves
“christian” refuse to take a stand against sin and suggest that whatever you do is okay
with God, we are being lied to.  When men say we are not to judge anything, and imply
that even God is not judging that which is contrary to His Word, we are being lied to. 
When men say that everything is wonderful and America will always be the land of the
free and the home of the brave, we are being lied to.

When leaders in our land say that America was not founded on Christ and the Word of
God and that we must suppress our Christian views lest we offend someone, we are
being lied to.  When we bowed to the pressures of this world and removed prayer and
public references to God our Creator, we were being lied to.   When we are told that all
of Islam is a peace-loving religion, we are being lied to.  When we are told that our
grade school age children need to have comprehensive sex education, we are being
lied to.  

I could go on, but Iʼm sure you get the point - our foundations are destroyed and being
destroyed, the bottoms dropped out, and those with righteous, virtuous morals hardly
stand a chance.  Christians and Patriotic individuals are being categorized as potential
terror threats to our Nation.  It is time - perhaps past time, to stand up and be counted
as a citizen of Heaven and a citizen of America.  As citizens of Heaven, we have a King
whose Word is law, and must be followed.  America is a Nation of laws, and as citizens,
we are supposed to be a government “of the people, by the people and for the people”.  
We, the people must insist that this Nation return to itʼs own ancient path of
righteousness by running to God as individuals, and then as a Nation.   We cannot
continue to think we can “blend” with other Godʼs and be safe.  We cannot bow to
demands contrary to the Word of God.

Good people do have a chance, IF, we run towards God, seek His face and turn away
from the multitude of evil ways allowed to flourish in this season, asking for His Mercy to
heal our land.  Only yesterday (May 2, 2013) thousands gathered together on the 62nd
annual National Day of Prayer to repent and ask God to reveal Himself once again in
our Nation.  Most were rank and file citizens.  Far to many officials were absent and did
not (in some cases would not) participate.  If we donʼt have leaders who faithfully honor
our God, then, it is time to judge ourselves as poor citizens concerning who we elect,
change our ways and then stand up and demand righteous leadership so the Light of
God can shine out once again across our Land and cause America  to prosper as it
once did. 

May God bless every Christian pursuing Him in Spirit and Truth, and bring a Holy Spirit
conviction to those defying Him by revealing their need for a Savior.  We desire all men
to be saved.  May you be blessed as you increasingly learn of Him so that grace and
peace can be multiplied in your life.  Stand strong in Him.
