Scripture for Today, 9-21-21: Who's Side Are You On?

How Does Anyone Really Know Whose Side You're On?
Stand up and be counted!
Jesus said: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: If I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house. He that is not with Me is against Me and he that gathereth not with Me scattereth.”

Matthew 12:25, 27-30; Luke 9:50; Joshua 24:15

9-20-21, * -- I just finished watching a two-and-a-half hour debate on Creationism versus Evolution. And, as usual, the ungodly side successfully lured the Christian into spending the entire time arguing about the age and origin of our Earth and Universe. Both parties stood on stage in front of a camera with an audience of curious people guessing about the origins of space and the planets. While unbelievers have us arguing with them about the number of genomes in the ape and the accuracy of carbon dating … the absolute strongest attack against evolution is within our bodies. (Psalm 139:14) Example: the eyeball that's a perfectly assembled camera [it alone proves mankind was created and assembled by an intelligent Being and no primordial soup explosion! I could shoot a handful of iron ore into outer space and in fifteen kajillian years, it would NOT return to me as a ticking Rolex]:

• The eye has its own light-receiving plate in the back.
• Has a lens that is perfectly held in place by a dilating and constricting aperture.
• It’s kept perfectly preserved and lubricated by a tear duct outside of either eye.
• On the inside, it’s the aqueous humor that completely fills and secures the interior.
• We have two in case one is incapacitated – God could have given us only one. He says, “The FOOL hath said in his heart, ‘There is no God’” (Psalm 14:1) [..]

About the USA and state of the union: At least seventy-five million of us voted for President Donald Trump’s re-election in 2020. Can we believe what’s been happening to our great nation? How close do we have to get to our total destruction to understand the subtlety of  the Devil that wants to destroy our Constitution and the USA?

Today in America it seems that most Christians are comfortably occupying their recliners and remote controls in front of their warm tvs as faithful members of the “silent majority.” I on the other hand - before Facebook - wrote for another major US conservative paper that began trimming back the ease and scope of reach for particularly conservative Christians.  I was one of the venue’s more popular writers; but one day my editor warned me that their mostly youthful editorial group – despite my popularity - was looking to cut my presence entirely. The lead editor had tagged me an “extremist Christian.”  I did not use Jesus’ name as a swear word - but always in the living and present tense and they felt I was severely slowing down the sharp, modern and increasingly ‘cooler’ appearance of their quite large rag.[..]
 
Currently, I‘m writing for Canada Free Press [CFP] and I am most proud to be here! I mean, I am in a living relationship with Jesus Christ and my CFP editor allows me to mention Him all I want.

TO ALL YOU CHRISTIANS OUT THERE:  these days the body of Christ, at least in the Western world, is generally sound asleep. I don’t write for Christian publications because I want people who don’t know the Lord Jesus, to find Him and to get eternally saved!

I certainly am not a perfect man. Nor am I immune to the devil’s temptations; but Jesus died for me while I was yet His enemy (Romans 5:8-10). So I can try to show my living gratitude which should be bottomless (James 4:7). We true Christians go out and call on people because Jesus lovingly sent us to do that.
 
I‘m discovering that so many professing Christians are actually swallowing the diabolical garbage of a big money entertainment/news media empire that lies to perhaps occupy even more floor space in an already thoroughly infiltrated White House. 

The Lord Jesus warned us that in the last days, prior to His return (Deuteronomy 18:22, Matthew 24:1-35 etc.), there would be false prophets. [1 John 4:1; 2 Peter 1:2]
​ And if you are calling yourself a ‘Christian’ because you or your parents keep a big Bible on the coffee table or never raped or robbed anybody - you need to be informed – by God’s definition none of that makes you a Christian.

If you believe in God, then you must believe that He is righteous having the power and perfect morality to keep His message perfectly intact. Otherwise He has no right to judge anybody. Likewise, if we call ourselves Christian American citizens, we must not vote for people who are making it increasingly easier to break the law and kill babies [and promote homosexuality even to young children-Ed.].
 
Faithful obedient, Jesus believing [John 14:15] Christians must look within realizing the state of the union and that we’re in an all out spiritual war — just as Jesus said we would be prior to His return. [Matthew 23:1-35]

In conclusion: I have three questions for all ‘conservative Christians:’

1. Who’s side are you on anyway?
2. What side do you want to be on?
3. If you are not doing or saying anything regarding this effort, how will anyone know whose side you are on? INDEED! Stand up and be counted!
