Joh
5:43 - 44 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if
another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. How can ye
believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour
that cometh from God only?
People
fall all over themselves making excuses for the evil done by the
police/military forces. Coming up with ignorant idioms like “if
they weren't doing anything wrong they wouldn't have to worry about
illegal search and or seizures.” Or “we have to fight them over
there so as not to have to fight them here”. We are taught
obedience to the government at an early age, and it is drummed into
our heads as we grow up. The consequences of not obeying are shown to
us forcefully, repetitively, and many cheer as “justice” is
dispensed by the powers that be.
But,
what about obedience to God? What about obeying the Lord's
Commandments (John 14:15, 21, 15:10)? Rather than teaching that at
your local “church” you're taught doublespeak, explaining away
the true meaning of the Word of God. We get traditions taught, making
the Word of God of no effect (Mat 15:6).
Everything
is turned upside down in this world, people act as if they have no
fear of God, but much fear of the government. It's understandable,
but completely against the Word of God. Nobody wants to get beat up
by the police, or have their children taken away, or go to prison,
but all these things pale in comparison to the return of the Lord:
Joe
2:31 The sun shall be turned into
darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible
day of the LORD come.
Luk
21:25 - 28 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and
in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with
perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them
for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the
earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they
see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And
when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up
your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
Of
course we can't change the whole world, but we can get our families
turned around, and serving the Lord. Do not make compromises with
this wicked world just to “get along.” Trust the Lord, do that
which is right and just stand on the promises, fear no man
Mat
10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to
kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul
and body in hell.
Daniel
Mark
