"'You bear the penalty of your lewdness and your abominations,' declares the LORD." Ezekiel 16:58
Our country is being destroyed daily. Our country, which was once a bright and shining beacon to the world, has become tarnished. Think of all the filth that is put out by Hollywood that goes everywhere in this world. Think of the celebrity worship that permeates our country -- many of them live lives that despise the word of God. Think of the excess of wealth that many have and the pride and arrogance that permeate everything in our country. This is what God said about his own people:
"'Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. They were haughty and did an abomination before me. So, I removed them when I saw it.'" Ezekiel 16:49-50
Believers, stand tall. Love Jesus and people with all you have. Give, give, give to others in need. Don't live lives of excess. Don't isolate yourselves from other people. They need to see the Light of Jesus. Don't waste time gossiping or criticizing. Those are the weapons of the world.
"For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ," 2 Corinthians 10:3-5
And also in Ephesians 5:1-4: "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints. Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving."
Believers, be bold in loving; be bold in your faith; be bold and courageous and honest and vulnerable. This world needs us more than ever. I have no idea if America is going to completely fall. And please stand up for truth. Protect the innocent. Let children be children. But all the while, no matter where you are or what you do, do all things through the Love of Christ.
