As Americans prepare to celebrate our nation’s 239th birthday this week,
I cannot help but to feel a certain anxiety as to what is soon to
become a part of America’s fated destiny.
This nation was
originally formed, fashioned, and populated by multitudes of thousands
of immigrants who fled their native homelands in Europe to come to
America. And most of them that came did so seeking religious freedom.
America was seen as a “City on a Hill,” a place where men could come
and worship God freely and where men could raise their offspring in the
fear and admonition of the Lord without compromising their fundamental
Christian beliefs.
These individuals came seeking a place of
refuge without fear of a tyrannical government continually seeking to
steal from them those very rights or to intimidate and/or eradicate any
who would not yield to their dictatorial authority.
It was the very
reason that when the Founding Fathers penned the Constitution, they
made certain that the very First Amendment in the Bill of Rights would
continue to guarantee such rights for Americans in every generation; it
was why the Founders worded it like this:
“CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO
LAW RESPECTING AN ESTABLISHMENT OF RELIGION, OR PROHIBITING THE FREE
EXERCISE THEREOF; OR ABRIDGING THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH, OR OF THE PRESS;
OR THE RIGHT OF PEOPLE TO PEACEABLY TO ASSEMBLE, AND TO PETITION THE
GOVERNMENT FOR A REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES.”
How sad it is that in just
239 years, 5 black robed unelected officials have effectively took it
upon themselves to overstep the authority of the Constitution.
Individuals who have went so far as to take it upon themselves to strike
down the very legal definition of marriage, the definition that God the
Creator of mankind had originally wrote.
For in Matthew 19, when
Jesus was approached about a marital issue, these were His exact words
on defining marriage: “HAVE YE NOT READ THAT HE [GOD] WHICH MADE THEM AT
THE BEGINNING MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE, AND SAID, FOR THIS CAUSE SHALL
A MAN LEAVE FATHER AND MOTHER, AND SHALL CLEAVE TO HIS WIFE…WHAT
THEREFORE GOD HATH PUT TOGETHER, LET NO MAN PUT ASUNDER.”
Who are
these 5 black robed judges who think that they can supersede and
disregard Almighty God, His Word, and the precedence of thousands of
years of mankind’s history?
And while hundreds of thousands
celebrated in the streets of America at the Supreme Court’s
unconstitutional ruling (there is not one word mentioned in the entire
constitution where marriage is defined as a constitutional right) my
heart wept, as I was eye witness to the fulfillment of End Times
prophecy which reminded me that, “In the Last Days they shall call good
evil and evil good.”
But the thing that grieved my heart the most
is that America doesn’t even realize what she is unleashing upon herself
by her continued embracement of every type of sin imaginable (although
this week, I believe our nation has reached an unprecedented low).
In the book of Deuteronomy (Ch. 28) God warns of what will happen to any
nation who disregards His Word and His laws and chooses to embrace sin
instead.
For in this passage God promises that pestilence, plagues,
diseases, and natural disasters will overspread that land. He assures
us that our enemies will terrorize us with death, destruction, and
outright fear; and He also declares that our bountiful land will no
longer produce in abundance, thus causing lack and want everywhere.
Maybe you’re reading this, and you’re saying, “But I don’t believe in
the Bible.” But just because one doesn’t believe in something doesn’t
necessarily make it any less true! So America Be Warned…There Is
Impending Disaster Ahead! And when it comes, you just remember,
embracing sin, any sin…It Always Has Unintended Consequences!
Yes,
I love America. I thank God for America, and I thank God for all those
individuals who have sacrificed so much so that I have been able to
enjoy the privileges of freedom and liberty that this nation has
afforded me.
But now, the very liberties and freedoms that we hold
so near and so dear are threatened. And most especially because of our
beliefs in Jesus Christ, it seems that our very “Way of life” is now in
jeopardy.
But let this world take note. I am not ashamed to be
called a Christian. And you may take away my freedom of speech and
redefine Truth as hate speech. And you may well label me a bigot because
I still continue to believe in the “Book” and I do affirm that all that
it says is true.
And because I refuse to acquiesce to this
world’s brand of intolerant political correctness, they may well steal
from me all my earthly possessions, and their vitriol towards
Christianity may so inflame them even to the taking of my very life.
Nevertheless, let it be known this day, I refuse to compromise God’s
Word, not one iota of it. I refuse to accept as okay, anything that God
in His Word has already condemned. Right is still what God says is
right, wrong is still what God says is wrong. And yes, there is still a
heaven to gain and a hell to shun and each and every one of us will be
going to one or the other.
As a Believer in Jesus Christ, no
matter what may come my nation’s way, I have this calm assurance that
God is going to take care of me until my tour of duty is ended. But
America Be Warned…There Is Impending Disaster Ahead!
National sins
demand national judgment, and only sincere and national repentance will
stem the tidal wave of God’s judgment and wrath that I fear is about to
sweep across this land.
God, please forgive our sins which are
multitudinous in number, and help us to humble ourselves before You, and
to seek Your face once more…GOD, ONE MORE TIME, PLEASE SEND REVIVAL TO
AMERICA!
Just a Thought,
Pastor Ken Jones
