Just a short follow up

The picture has nothing to do with my blog today, it's just funny.

So I just wanted to say don't be surprised if we seem to lose this culture war. If the Marxist godless left seems to win the fight for the soul of America. If more and more people decide the communist ideals held by the left are the way to go. If we see our civil society decline into darkness, just as the godless left has been trying to accomplish for some 60 years now. If they seem to be winning and we seem to be losing.

You may want to ask God, why would you let this happen? Why would you allow the greatest society in the history of the world, a country founded on a belief in You fall into this horror of godless communism?

Well, that's a valid question. And I don't pretend to have the answers. But I do know this. Whatever happens to us is in the hands of God. And whatever happens is part of his great plan. We are told in the bible that the world will decline until Jesus returns. And that's exactly what is happening. It may very well be that things will get much worse.

But the good news is this. Things will get much much better. Jesus will return and redeem his faithful. He will take us home to be with him while this world goes through seven years of tribulation and God's wrath being poured out on it. In the end, all those who have not been redeemed will stand before him and give an account for what they have done. They will have to explain why they murdered 60 million unborn babies he created. Why they destroyed a society that he showed his favor to. Why they persecuted and hounded his people, the Jews. Why they robbed from us to reward those who didn't contribute to our society.

But more than that, why they cursed His name and drove Him from the public square and from our society. Why they led people by the millions to turn to godless communism, rejecting God. Why they laughed and mocked His followers and persecuted us. And their only hope will be to fall to their knees and weep when they face their final judge. But it will be too late then. The time will have passed. And they will regret for all time rejecting the free offer of salvation He offered them time and time again. And it will break God's heart but God is just and he will do what he promised he would do.

Sorry if that get's a little too theological and not political which is what we normally do here. But I wanted to get that off my chest.

What I want you to do is take comfort that God is in control, even when nothing makes sense. So turn your eyes to Him and trust Him. Keep fighting, I am going to. But also know that however it turns out God is in control.

And pray for the godless left. Pray they find God and turn from their evil ways. God loves them too, even though they hate him. And it is his wish they too turn to him. Many won't but some will.

This simple passage so often heard says it all:

¹⁶ For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. ¹⁸ Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. ¹⁹ This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. ²⁰ Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. ²¹ But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.
