The goal of democrats, liberals and people who hate God (the God of the Bible) is to humiliate and slander true Christians and any who choose a moral high-road and use the Bible as their standard of living. We see and hear this ridicule daily on public and cable TV, newspapers and radio. I would like to see more outrage from Christians who want to defend what is right from God's standard. I'm not advocating we become forcefully aggressive or make meaningless silly statements through public sit-ins or protests. As Christians, we are certainly not commanded to be of a violent nature (because we have a new nature in Christ) or are we to act in hostility toward people as some religions teach and practice. What I do mean however, is to work to get good solid material in defense of the Gospel and in defense of the biblical account of Creation (as recorded throughout scripture) into the hands of anyone and everyone they know and do not know. We can get materials such as seen in Dr. Kent Hovind's debates and in other meaty ministries into the hands of those who don't believe it or haven't heard it.
When Christians stand up together and united for the message of the Gospel in a concise, non- watered down manner I can't help but think about what an example we will be. A separation of the wheat and tares will take place. A separation of the true and false should take place. True Christians know if they are true Christians and will not want to pervert the Gospel but rather act in defense of the truth, not leaving anything out. Their desire will be for the truth of Christ to be known to all man-kind without promoting self and the emphasis to be placed on self but rather on what the Lord has done on the cross. The world en masse will clearly hate the messengers and the part of the message of sin, repentance, hell and God's holiness but at least the lost couldn't honestly say they didn't hear it or ever have the chance to see their sin, and learn why they desperately need a Savior and Christ is the only way to Heaven.
Evolutionists and so-called atheist's love to ridicule Christians and the belief that God created human beings whenever they get the opportunity. However, one rarely sees these prominent figures publicly debate a Christian who is knowledgeable in the Scriptures. I find this intriguing because you would think they would want to "expose" such a silly belief (as what the Bible teaches) publically on radio and TV, etc. Or is it perhaps not the teachings of the Bible which are silly but rather the attempt to defend a belief that removes God a fact the god of this world (Satan) does not want truly exposed! If Christ was preached more often, people just might have to trust God and get saved from the wrath to come. Satan surely does not want that.
This reminds me of a great TV channel I would love to create. It would feature many Christians who are not out for money or making a name for themselves but simply sharing Jesus---the name that is above every name. These teachers would truly want to share the truth of Christ, teach discernment and solid doctrine to help Christians grow and skeptics believe (through the Holy Spirit's work). Discernment and true biblical teaching seems to be lacking on much of TV these days including certain "Christian" programs.
I pray for motivation to do the work that matters most; to do the work of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Verse(s) for today's post: Philippians 2:9-11
Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
