PROVERBS 11 - 28
He who trusts in his riches will fall,
But the righteous will flourish like foliage.
What do George Bush, Hillary Clinton and Tony Blair have in common? They are professing christians.
The sixth commandment in the KJV bible. THOU SHALT NOT KILL.
Hopefully they don't consider themselves God's hand globally where their actions are concerned because the God of the bible doesn't need any 'little helpers' He could and no doubt will dispense with the evil that has permeated every strata of society.
But what makes this christian witness even more appalling are the lies and the selective treatment dished out to those considered lesser mortals, often those who expose their dark doings. The camera doesn't lie and ethical journalists are quick to highlight their hypocrisy.
We all sin, we all make mistakes, no one is perfect but the Father and our actions prayerfully do not condemn millions of innocents to death. Hardly surprising that many question the very existence of God when they witness the killing fields and the numerous wars fought in His Holy Name with a very unholy agenda.
Being a true born again christian in this world means following the commandments and the even stronger codicil by Christ. If you even look at a woman lustfully you have committed adultery.
The majority wipe their record clean under the auspices of a merciful God. Obviously they don't read scripture or know their Lord.
Take the case of John, the Lord's favourite disciple. Serious blasphemous insinuations are made by the gay lobby and they use every argument, "oh that was for the Jews" or Jesus didn't say that, whereas if they read Matthew 5 - 17-19 it is very clear "till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. We all prefer and move towards like minded individuals, maybe we admire their sense of humour, their personality or agree with their view point. Whatever, that does not make us homosexual or a lesbian. Men have sacrificed their own lives for their friends, truly following the example of Jesus who laid down His life for all mankind.
Genuine pilgrims realise the journey to the City of Gold is far from comfortable.* You strive to live apart from this dark world. Those who faithfully follow Christ suffer violent opposition and death. But they have faith, without faith there is no hope.
John, the favourite disciple according to Tertullian in the "Prescription of Heretics" was plunged into boiling oil by the Romans and suffered nothing from it. It is said that the audience in the Colosseum
witnessing that dreadful act were all converted to christianity. John was then banished to the Greek island of Patmos. This is considered credible where John was concerned as both magic, astrology and prophecy were viewed by them as punishable whether you were Pagan, Jewish or Christian.
In the last book of the bible - Revelation - 21 - 8 the fate of liars as well as the sexually immoral is quite clear. This is not taught in most churches and has been removed from current additions of the bible. Many who profess to be christians follow their own agenda.
"The world does not read the bible nor come to church to hear the minister. All it learns about Christ and the Christian life it must learn from those who bear Christ's name and represent him. If all church members lived truly consecrated lives, holy, beautiful, separate from the world, loyal to Christ in business, in pleasure, in all things - it is impossible to estimate what the saving power of the Church (the body of christians around the globe) would be in example alone." *
Biblical prophecy is unfolding before this generation of watchers. Time is short. If you need a biblical explanation of the countries involved in this scenario (as they had different names in that period of history) the bible expositor "Jacob Prasch" is freely available on You Tube and the staff at Moriel could point you to their extensive library of books and videos.
For those who do understand what is happening behind the scenes. Videos by the late David Wilkerson, Dave Hunt, A.W. Tozer are available on You Tube. Books by J.R. Miller and John Bunyan are available from Eden encouragement for the road ahead. These men are immortal by their literature alone. They fought the good fight and one by one God has called them home. They walk with their Lord.
