A FEW THOUGHTS ON TODAYS READING... 

For the past several years, as a whole our nation has been running in the swamp of godlessness. People fear pointing out just how godless many of the factions in our nation are for fear of being called out, labeled, etc by other humans. But we are seeing a complete lack of fear of God. We are fools to think that God somehow doesn't see what our nation is doing. We are fools to think that our nation will not receive the same ending that every other godless nation experienced.

We read of Jeremiah's calling in Jeremiah 1:5, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations." For the first 45 chapters, Jeremiah has prophesied almost exclusively to the nation of Judah. But now he switches gears and prophesies about the surrounding Gentile nations. This marks a significant shift in God's history as we move from the times of the Jewish nation into a long period which we are still in, known as the times of the Gentiles. Though this period begins with the 70-year Babylonian captivity, when the captives return, the nation of Israel never regained its strength or prominence, eventually being destroyed by the Romans. Concerning these times Jesus said in Luke 21:24, "And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled." But during this time, Gentile nations will rise and fall. The nations in pride exalt themselves until God, who they have ignored, acts in justice. People think they can maneuver, scheme, manipulate, etc, but we read what happens to Philistia in 47:2, "Thus says the Lord: "Behold, waters rise out of the north, And shall be an overflowing flood; They shall overflow the land and all that is in it, The city and those who dwell within; Then the men shall cry, And all the inhabitants of the land shall wail." People might falsely think that holds true for Egypt, or Moab, etc. but not the United States, since we have so many Christians living here. But unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of Christians choose to remain quietly on the sidelines for fear of what other humans might think, rather than what God might think. We read in 48:10, "Cursed is he who does the work of the Lord deceitfully, And is cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood." In many ways, America's Christians are like those in the church in Laodicea, to which Jesus wrote in Revelation 3:16, "So then, because you are luke-warm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth."

We may not want to admit or recognize this, but we find ourselves living in a godless nation. Every new political season only brings this reality to the forefront. It's amazing that both sides think they are playing a chess game, each trying to outmaneuver their opponent. The sole focus is on humanity. Everyone seeks to win the hearts of humans, and fears their rejection. But missed in this entire chess game, is God. See, while both sides continue playing, all God has to do is pick up the board and remove all the pieces, as He has done time and time again throughout history. Our hope must not rest in a candidate, a theory, a political party, etc. Our hope lies in God and God alone. Revival is our only hope. It is time for Christians to wake from our slumber or suffer the earthly consequences alongside the rest of godless humanity. It is time to stop pointing to everyone else and start pointing to ourselves and pointing others to God.

THIS WEEKS MEMORY VERSE

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. ~Hebrews 4:12

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

My brethren, let me say, be like Christ at all times. Imitate Him in “public”. Most of us live in some sort of public capacity — many of us are called to work before our fellow-men every day. We are watched; our words are caught; our lives are examined — taken to pieces. The eagle-eyed, argus-eyed world observes everything we do, and sharp critics are upon us. Let us live the life of Christ in public. Let us take care that we exhibit our Master, and not ourselves — so that we can say, “It is no longer I that live, but Christ that lives in me.”

— C. H. Spurgeon (1834 – 1892)
