I am seeing loved ones and many others crashing and burning around me because they are a little too tolerant of those who are interested in redefining God's definition of the union of a man and a woman - because they want things to be "fair". One could argue for many things based on that hope.
Many fall because they cannot see why a good God would allow bad things to "happen" to good people. There are many reasons people fall - but mostly it is because they are not children of light and do not see things as God sees them. Its quite simple. In the end, God will not accept excuses - and our poorly constructed attempts at doing so will wither in His presence. We will woefully bend the knee and accept His judgments as just, if we are not in a repentant mode; ready to accept all things that Father sees to subject us to in order to try us and to test us.
Folks - this is a VERY dangerous time. Make no bones about it. The last time we were in a desperate struggle for our agency (as we are now as freedoms are being stripped on a daily basis), was when satan and 1/3 of our spiritual siblings made the wrong choice. Their reward was no body and endless woe and misery.
They are here peddling their snake oil (social justice and "fairness" for all while putting the things of God to naught), and the struggle is just as desperate as it was then. I keep telling myself, just a few more years and we will be thru it. And so it will be - just a few more years. But in that time, many will fall - and many of the very elect will be deceived. The adversary is using EVERY tool at his disposal and the cry for social justice for "gay" rights and women's rights to destroy the life in the sacred crucible of life they possess is propounded from every pulpit at every church of mammon that exists. It seems almost crushing - and so the righteous will cry night and day until they are delivered from this spiritual bondage they find themselves in. Soon, there will be a physical bondage to assist that spiritual bondage in its soul crushing work - BUT, there is victory on the horizon. One where those who have taken the wrong side of the issues (just as satan did so long ago), will be cast off so that there will be nearly 1,000 years of blissful rest from it. Most, who make it thru what is coming, will just care to erase the memory of it from their minds after they hear the words, "Well done! Thou good and faithful servant!".
I have seen many around me stumbling under the weight of the crosses they are called to bear. Do NOT give up. Victory is almost ours. It will be sweet when it is finally handed to us.
It wouldn't surprise me if the current administration with the Justice Department and IRS attach hounds at it's disposal were to revoke the church's 501 c 3 status because of it's "hate speech" and intolerant attitude. Not to mention a major civil rights investigation because we will not yield on the definition of marriage - a husband and wife of two separate and distinct genders.
ReplyDeleteHow much more intolerant can we be than to presume that a male and female are the eternal standard for a married couple - whose union will allow children to be born without fear of infanticide.
