Recently I have heard some folks barking about the coming nuclear war with Russia. Thankfully, I have been off the media bandwagon since 2020. Could it be that the media is nothing more than pure entertainment? I do keep up on current events and filter all the nonsensical drivel out. I refuse to listen to pundits ranting about how “The Sky is Falling” or a boy crying “WOLF”.
While I certainly can understand lost souls of the world being fixated on such useless things, I cannot, for the life of me, understand why “professed” believers in Jesus let the media harlot suck the life out of them.
If you have faith in almighty God, an understanding of His Word, and trust Him fully, why let such current events rattle you?
“You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. (Matthew 24:6)
As far as political landscapes, I really have nothing but contempt for it including “Our Side”
There are far too many believers who are so fixated on the current political shift that they literally have lost sight of Jesus. Now that the American Election is over, they all but seem ready to go back to sleep. Hey, I’m glad it worked out the way it did. Nevertheless, it is just a temporary stay of execution for my nation. After all it is the candidate God chooses 100% of the time.
“It is He who changes the times and the epochs; He removes kings and establishes kings; He gives wisdom to wise men And knowledge to men of understanding. (Daniel 2:21)
While I am thankful the lunatics were ousted (for now) we must be cautious not to place any hope on the incoming regime. We have merely substituted evil debauchery for pride.
Do not trust in princes, In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation. (Psalm 146:3)
The only MAGA I am interested in is:
“MAKE AMERICA GODLY AGAIN”
That means Prayer for our leaders. ALL of them. The evil ones too..
But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, (Matthew 5:44)
Prayer for the Body of Messiah:
praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— (Ephesians 6:18)
Especially now! Judgement always begins with the house of God. The last decade has proven that.
I also caution against this neo–Christianity I see popping up everywhere. It is a far-right form of Godliness that is ever concerned with conspiracy theories, and politics. Oh, and by the way, IT is hugely Anti-Semitic at its core. My heart breaks for them. Many of them once served the Kingdom with me in various ministries. My heart breaks because they and large segments of the Church will be cut off and rejected.
Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either. Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. (Romans 11:20–22)
I exhort all of you brethren to remain in the faith. Press into the Word of God. Continue to bring the Good News to the lost. The timer is running, and the LORD is coming soon.
DO NOT BURY the talents the Master has given us to invest!
Shalom,
Brian
