Why the silence? Has the Holy Spirit bid all dutiful Christians to hold their tongues? This world is teetering. You know I know it and yet the Church powerful remain silent. The Lord our God states clearly that homosexuality is an abomination, a contortion. The Bible makes it plain what the Lord thinks of people and nations who wickedly sacrifice their children upon the altars of false gods or convenience. A government that was dedicated to God at its inception cannot turn away from His counsel, evoking practices and policies in conflict with His law without, expecting lasting consequence. Our leaders are lawyers, historians and doctors they should know what has happened historically to EVERY nation that has traveled this path. Why then is the Christian population roughly silent as our foundations are stripped away. It is obvious we are afraid of losing our worldly possessions. Power, influence, the seat at a table of the ungodly, these are the treasures to which we find ourselves in service.
Has God stripped away the prophets in these last days? Has the Holy Spirit muffled all those who know the truth and would speak plainly the Word of God? Has the Lord Jesus Christ’s work become nil so that we may follow the path of wickedness and sin? Are we only a remnant too weak in our faith, too empty of Spirit, powerless against the coming storm, that we huddle inside our churches keeping the truth to breast as a winning hand of cards? What has become of God’s Glory lived out through the walk of His children? Have we sold our inheritance for a fancy truck, a vacation at the shore and a comfortable nest egg? Are we so afraid of the enemy’s authority here that we shudder at the thought of losing our tax status for speaking truth? There are too many of these questions to which the answer is a declarative Yes. That my friends is the nature of my fetid stomach. I too am afraid, too afraid to stand with God in His righteousness, befriending the lost for ill gain. Oh, what a pitiless man I have become.
God restore us to our honor, courage and pure living so that we may serve Your Will and not our own. Give us that measure of faith as a mustard seed and let it blossom demonstrating Your Authority to this World You Have Created. Let each of us stand up, step forward and declare the Words, Spirit Provides, that we will not stand with the forsaken. To allow this nation or even one man, woman or child to go down our present path without attempting to stop them is complicity. Would you allow anyone to step over a crevasse, step into oncoming traffic or stand up in a barrage of bullets? That is exactly what we are currently doing by not calling them back from their path toward eternity separated from God. This path leads directly to hell, the place designed for satan and his angels. Man was not meant to join him in his damnation, we do it by choice. We, as Christians are the Living Word of Christ. It is our responsibility to inform them and then let God mold and shape their hearts. If we will not speak that is flagrant disobedience. For this we should be humbled and seek God’s forgiveness. But then we must repent of this sin and stand up for God’s Word, His Glory and His Coming. He deserves no less. In His name I pray. Jesus is God.
