Voting as Professing Christians

6/15/2022

0 Comments

 
          As we approach November, “What will the righteous do?” Will we vote for Godly principals? Will our vote parallel Gods revelation to man? Will the true Church stand for what’s right or bow once again to Baal?
          Jesus said in Matthew 19:14 “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Will you vote to “hinder” them from living life? Voting wrong regarding the sanctity of life is an abomination unto God. It is sad that many are more broken over cruelty to animals than they are of babies.
          Will you vote for socialism? Are you ENJOYING the progressive left’s provision for food, gas, medical, and clothing cost? Then I would say you should continue to vote for the destruction of our economy.
          Professing (note the term) Christian’s have a responsibility and accountability to THE CREATOR AND REDEEMER to live holy for His Glory. (1 Peter 1:16) The issues and problems we face lie at the foot of the pulpit and at the doorstep of the church.
          Our children are being led down a path of ungodliness because we as parents and grandparents for the most part are not discipling or teaching our children. And most schools offer no discipline, plus school boards are seeking to usurp the authority of parents. As followers of Jesus Christ, we must be obedient and submissive servants (doulas = slave).
          Wake up Christian, WAKE UP! America, and above all, Church wake-up and be the church regardless of the cost. I share this from a burdened and broken heart. Churches across America need to open the doors and preach the infallible and inerrant word more than once a week. Equipping is a mandate from Scripture. We can’t do it with one message a week.
          “Lord Jesus, may your Spirit fall fresh on your church, which is we the people.” May we stand for His Name’s sake. 1 Corinthians 15:58; Ephesians 6:10-20

Uvalde, Texas - The Hurt and Cause

6/15/2022

          My heart and spirit hurt every time I reflect on the senseless and evil taking of innocent lives in Uvalde, Texas. The cause is not guns, mental health, or lack of police action, as those on the liberal band wagon are saying. The problem entered the world due to rebellion (sin – Genesis 3) against God the Creator.
          Man is innately sinful, and the evidence is all about us. The hearts and minds of mankind cannot be changed by laws, gun control, or politicians. Only by coming humbly to the cross of Jesus will hearts be changed. (Romans5:8) The problem is spiritual, and the world is wicked. (Jeremiah 17:9) We live in a world that has turned its back on Almighty God. America has thumbed her nose at God and judgement awaits. (Hebrews 9:27)
          The problem lies at the foot of most pulpits and at the door of most churches. Only the Word of God, empowered by the Holy Spirit, will alter the course of a sin-sick nation and anemic church. God help us to be unashamed of the Gospel. (Romans 1:16) May we preach the whole counsel of God (Acts 20:20), for the Glory of God, the salvation of the lost (Acts 4:12), and sanctification of the saints. (John 17:17)
          “Lord Jesus, for your name’s sake, would you revive Your church once again?”
          May we come to the Lord Jesus in humility, yet with expectation of His presence as we assemble to worship and walk with Him day by day. (Ephesians 4:1)

Preach Truth

6/15/2022

​          Today I have the privilege and responsibility to preach and teach Truth. Preaching and teaching is paramount in the life of a pastor. The words preaching, preach, teach, proclaim are used some 359 times in the Bible. Today there are too many pastors passing out sugar-stick sermons and calling it preaching while most of the world is dying due to spiritual malnutrition.
          The church needs bold and uncompromising preaching to equip the saints and see conviction of the lost. I would appreciate your prayers as I enter my third Sunday as interim pastor at Philippine American Baptist church in Spring Texas. Join us on Facebook live feed at 11:00 am.
          Stand firm. 1 Corinthians 15:58
