CHURCH AND GOVERNMENT

Parallels between church control and government control.

The underlying premise for both—We know what’s good for you, better than you do.

Promises, promises, promises.

Promises made (many).

Promises kept (few).

Government promises the people free stuff, in exchange for reduced freedom—and greater government control.

Church promises the people eternal spiritual security, in exchange for increased theological and financial submission—and greater church control.

THANK GOD

God lets things happen, and still watches over us.

WHEN GOD SAYS “NO”

When God says NO, when does He say YES again?

God always has a remnant, praying—praying for revival, praying for repentance, praying for a return of God’s favor.

But WHEN?

So it becomes a matter of God’s perspective of time, versus our perspective of time.

After God’s people in the Bible turned away from following Him for too long, He said NO to them, and sent them into captivity.

For sure, there would have been the remnant praying faithfully, before and during the horrible trek to Babylon, to see God’s blessing and mercy again.

But it would be seventy long years before God’s NO would change to His YES, and His chosen people returned to their promised land.

In America today, God said NO on November 3, 2020.

Many Christians, myself included, prayed faithfully and fervently for a reversal from God, because we knew the Babylon tyranny that was sure to follow, here.

Now a year later it is clear that God is not ready to change His NO to America, to a YES.

Persecution and martyrdom is common experience for Christians living under evil tyranny, without divine deliverance.

The Bible says the martyrs cry from under God’s throne, “How long?”

In light of America’s long-term trust in God, and God’s responding blessing beyond measure on America—the current wholescale turn away from God nationwide, and open hostility toward Christianity by the leadership—we can expect severe and prolonged judgment.

The judgment will continue until everyone can see it is from God.

ABORTION – – – WHO MATTERS ?

Who was in your mommy’s tummy before you were born?

Can you imagine a mother—any mother, anytime, anywhere—giving birth and saying, “I had no idea it was a baby in there for these nine months.”?

Everyone matters.

It’s not ‘what,’ it’s ‘who.’
