Victory Can Be Yours!
Article #72 –
“Terrorism 1”
Many
times in our Bible, the message is to “stand firm”. This phrase occurs eight times in the New
American Standard Bible and it means to stand firm in the Lord, His truth, and
in your faith. “Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to
resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.” (Eph.
6:13) We are exhorted to stand firm for
God and His principles in all that we do and say. This will make our Biblical worldview
unshakable.
I
recently read a sermon from, Grace To You (GTY). I believe that it was
delivered by John MacArthur. I do not
believe in his position on the Gospel but on this sermon topic, it was
great. The title was, “We Will Not Bow”. Its focus was on some particular issues
facing our country today. In this
article, I will be using some of the same thoughts as was contained in this
sermon and want to give credit to GTY.
This
country of ours, the greatest country the world has ever known, is the greatest
because God has blessed her in so many ways.
Most people will not accept it but this country was founded on Christian
principles by mostly Christian people and based on the Bible. I am sure that all of the founding fathers
were not born again believers although many were, the founding documents were
all based on the Bible. The text book in
the early education in this country was the Bible. Now, you cannot even have the Bible on School
property for fear of offending someone.
We still claim to be a Christian nation but when we find in surveys that
only 9% of the people are born again believers and only 19% of those have a
Biblical worldview, it is obvious that this country has turned her back on
God. This country no longer honors God
for the greatness with which He blessed her.
In
many ways, it would appear that this country is coming apart at the seams. Our national debt is out of sight and looks
that there is no way to rein it in. We
have great divisions appearing between races, economics, problems with
unemployment, immigration, and a constant fear of terrorism. There have been many terrorist attacks since
the bombing of the Twin Towers on 9/11.
However, there have been two of the greatest attacks, on this country,
perpetrated by the United States Supreme Court.
The first attack by the U.S. Supreme Court was when they legalized
abortion. Since the ruling made by the
Supreme Court in 1973, there have been more than 58 million babies aborted. God is the creator of all life, including
those 58 million babies. “For You formed my inward parts; You wove
me in my mother’s womb. I will give
thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your
works, and my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and
skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth; Your eyes have seen my unformed
substance; and in Your book were all written the days that were ordained for
me, when as yet there was not one of them.” (Psa. 139:13-16) Can you imagine what God thinks of this
ruling by the Supreme Court? God is the
only one who can define morality. Even
the U.S. Supreme Court cannot legalize or redefine it.
You,
too, can have victory in Jesus! More to
follow on terrorism perpetrated by the U.S. Supreme Court.
