Timothy 3:1-7 “But realize this,
that in the last days difficult times will come. For men and women
will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers,
disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving,
irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of
good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure
rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although
they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these. For among
them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed
down with sins, led on by various impulses, always learning and never
able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
Michael continues, stating that the
politics of secular humanistic "socialism" in the guise of
"equality" is becoming politically correct. This is of the
devil. When the Communist/Socialists took over Russia, they first killed all
the wealthy and influential and free-thinking people. The Communists'
greatest opponents were those who stood for the values of virtue. The Communist
leaders killed them all in order to take over the government in the name of
"equality for the people." They killed off the noble and most
influential... the most virtuous people in the communities. In our politically
correct climate, conservative God-fearing men and women are the enemy of the
doctrine of socialism/ secularism. The politically correct actively
marginalize, shut down, and ridicule the values and virtues of men and women of
God, people of faith committed to the Word of God.
Psalm
5:10 “Hold them guilty, O
God; By their own devices let them fall! In the multitude of their
transgressions thrust them out, For they are rebellious against You.”
Jesus
came to make new men and women of faith out of old men and women of the
flesh. He came not to condemn the
world, but that the world through him might be saved. God is always
in control. It's not about quantity, it’s about quality: those in
whom the Spirit of The Lord dwells. He came not to polish our flesh; our cracked
earthen vessel. For we have this
treasure (the spirit) in an earthen
vessel (our carnal body) that the
excellency of the power may be of God and not of us. It's not about the
size of the dog in the fight, rather it's about the size of the fight in the
dog. Our power is of the Spirit of God. For it is God that worketh in us to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Psalm 66:7 “He rules by His might forever; His eyes keep watch on the nations;
Let not the rebellious exalt themselves.”
It's
easy to become swept up and swept away by the “political correctness” of this
world: To become "victims" and to passively embrace the victim
mentality prevalent in the culture today. However, God called us to actively
resist the devil. Therefore, stand
putting on the whole armor of God that we may be able to withstand in the evil
day and having done all to stand. We need not be discouraged about the
affairs of this world and the secularism of our culture. We need not
be disappointed about the results of mankind's elections. Rather we
rejoice that we are the results of God's election. Men and women of God
are the elect of God. Choose ye this day
whom ye will serve. As for me and my house we will serve The Lord.
President
Abraham Lincoln said; “My prayer is not that God is on my side, rather my
prayer is that I am on God's side.” Not
my will, but thine be done. America’s upcoming Independence Day holiday is
really a declaration of dependence on God day.
May
God richly bless you!
Your
brother in Christ, Michael
