We are
living in troubled time not only here in America, but all over the world. Extremists are
killing anyone who doesn’t agree with their beliefs. Islam is torturing and killing Americans and
Christians. Our own people are killing those who serve and protect. Mothers are killing the unborn. Those
who serve and protect us are being gunned down.
There is self-centeredness and hatred
everywhere.
Some of
our churches are watering down the gospel.
They rarely condemn sins like pre-marital sex, abortions, greed,
idolatry, and the big one homosexuality.
The Bible is clear on all these subjects. But we choose to ignore it. We say times have changed; we need to be
tolerant; we think we know best. We tell
ourselves that we are good people and we don’t murder and besides we are not as
bad as that other guy. Many say that all
roads lead to God, but Jesus said, “I am the way and
the truth and the life. No one comes to the
Father except through me.” – John
14:6. And - “Love your neighbor as yourself.” – Mark
12:31. We have become more and more
tolerant of sin. Our churches are filled
with unconverted people who say they are Christians, but have not fully
surrendered to God.
The
Bible tells us we are to stand and support Israel and He will bless us. “I will bless those
who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse” – Gen. 12:3. Our own President is no friend to
Israel. Just his lack of commitment
toward Israel shows he is not with Israel.
Maybe that is why there is so much unrest in America. Is God cursing us?
Why is
all this happening? I think it’s because
Satan knows his time is running out and he is working extra hard to bring all
the darkness he can. He wants to destroy
us and turn us away from God. The Bible
warns us about Satan. Jesus called him
“the prince of this world” and “the father of lies”. He continually tries to deceive us. He puts desires and bitterness in our hearts
and in many ways it seems he is succeeding.
The
unsaved are serving Satan. Just look at
our TV shows and movies. They are full
of adultery, lust, violence, filthy language, murder, and sex. Pornography is everywhere. The video games our children are playing are
full of violence. Then we wonder why
there are shootings in our schools and killing of our police officers.
Yes,
Satan is real. Satan has tried to
destroy God’s relationship with people since the Garden of Eden. “The god of this age has blinded the minds of
unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of
Christ, who is the image of God.” – 2
Cor. 4:4.
What
can we do about it? We need to pray,
pray, pray. We all need Jesus. Two thousand years ago, Jesus ended the
debate on which lives matter. He died
for all. He died for all races - blacks, brown, yellow, and whites. He died for Christians
and Muslims. We need to be a united
America. We just need to accept Jesus
and repent before it’s too late. Please
pray for the world and for America.
