For over thirty years now, abortion has been the law of the land. For some thirty plus years now it has been a legal and protected practice for a mother to take the little baby in her womb and have it killed. Not because of anything the baby did, no, simply because that little baby boy of girl might be a problem, a stumbling block in the mothers pursuit of happiness.
During the last 31 years or so, over 100,000,000 babies have been murdered in the USA alone. Over one hundred million, close to one third of our current population. And now that number is going to go even higher for now, we, as a society, do not seem content to just kill the baby in the womb, no now we want a legally protected right to kill any and all who are infirm and in the way. we want to change the default from life, to death.
Now, I want to start by saying some very blunt truths.
In the years around 1776, during the American Revolution, over 17% of Christian men voluntary left home and hearth to fight, die and kill and ended up dying, so that theirs and generations to come could live free lives.
In the years of the Civil War, 1860-1865, over two hundred thousand men of the north left home, family and friends and laid down their lives so that black men and women could be free and the practice of one man owning another would end in the USA.
In the years of 1940-1945 over 200,000 Christian men of the United States, voluntarily laid down their lives so that the Jews would not be wiped from the face of the earth.
In 1973 the Supreme Court of the United States decided, based upon what is now known to be lies and deception, that it was a woman's Constitutional right to have the baby sleeping in her womb, slaughtered. And Christian men and women said: "that's terrible, someone ought to do something."
In 2005, a two bit judge in Florida ruled that it is alright for the court to use hearsay evidence to starve a woman to death, because she is in the way. And her father and the Christian men of the nation said: "that's terrible, someone ought to do something."
Her father and the Christian men of this nation, may not have shouted out ""that's terrible, someone ought to do something. But, not us, let her die, for the courts know best." But, they might have well have, for the feeding tube is gone and the only hope this woman now has is that the President of the United States and a few members of the US Congress, have done the right thing and intervened. See today's issue of Christian-news-in-maine.com details.
What has happened to us? Are we steadily headed back to being an uncivilized culture of death? Or have we already become an uncivilized culture of death? I believe we have already reached the point where we are on the very verge of having God say "ENOUGH!"
I'm not going to concentrate on all of the ten commandments today, I'm going to list them all, but only comment on some of them.
Exodus Chapter Twenty
1 And God spake all these words, saying,
2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before Me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me; 6 and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love Me, and keep My commandments.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. Terri Schiavo's parents have said that they would like to keep her alive.
13 Thou shalt not kill. Terry Schiavo has not been found guilty of having broken any law.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery. Terri Schiavo's husband Michael has been cohabitating with another woman for ten years, he has fathered two children by her through this adulterous relationship.
15 Thou shalt not steal. The theft of a persons life is the second greatest theft. The first being the theft of one's chance of salvation by preaching lies.
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. The decision to kill Terri by starvation was reached by Judge Greer through unsubstantiated hearsay evidence.
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's. The woman who, through her adulterous relationship with Terri Schiavo's husband Michael, has had two children by him, has very influential relations with the Pinelas County Sheriff and Judge Greer. (Exodus 20:1-17 ACP/KJV)
Thanks to a few men and women in the US Congress, of which Congressman Michael Michaud is one, Terri Schiavo has gotten another reprieve. Yesterday, Sunday March 20th, 2005, the US Congress held a very rare special Sunday meeting, in that meeting, a motion to suspend the rules and give Terri one more chance required a 2/3's vote, it passed 204 to 58 with 174 members who did not vote.
But, the question still remains, why didn't Terri Schiavo's father and the men of the USA do something to help her? Well, do you remember the first question? Have we become a society of death?
God tells us that at some point in time, He will have had enough of our ungodly ways and then He will intervene.
Look at what God says to His people through the mouth of Moses, now bear in mind, today, the Christian world is God's people, so what He said to the Jews then is very relevant to the Christian world today.
How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up? The word Rock is Christ or God, so here we see God talking about our enemies when we were a Christian Nation, 1770's, our men fought and won against the overwhelming odds of Great Britian.
For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges. For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter: Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps. For there god is not our Christ, even our enemies know the difference between their weak gods and our all powerful Christ, they are followers of sin and murder and the god of such.
Is not this laid up in store with Me, and sealed up among My treasures? Does not God know all things and is He not able to use all things? (Read Hebrews chapter eleven)
To Me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste. For the LORD shall judge His people, and repent Himself for His servants, when He seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left. To God belongs ultimate vengeance and repaying. And He will judge and bring this vengeance down not only on those who are the enemies of His people, but upon His people when they get to far out of hand.
And He shall say, "Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted, which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection." There comes a time when God will say to His own people, the very ones He has loved and shown great mercy too, I have had enough of you, turn to the phoney gods you worship and ask their help against Me and My vengeance. (Deuteronomy 32:30-38 ACP/KJV)
There are two signs that are very prevalent here in the USA that God has either run out of patience with us or is on the very verge of running out of patience and saying "ENOUGH!"
He has made our men in the USA to be cowards. Oh yes there is a hero here and there, but for the most part, we have so many cowardly men in the nation that the police forces and military of the nation are more and more having to rely upon girls to protect society.
And He has more and more shut up the wombs of the women of the USA. Do you think abortion is not being allowed by God? Look at the child ratio. Right now, thanks to abortion, divorce, birth control, and lesbianism this nation is not producing enough children to replace adult deaths, without having to go to immigration, legal and illegal.
You mark my words. IF Christian men do not get off their butts and on their knees, the great experiment of the Republic of the Untied States will end within this generation. If it has not already. Christian men need to focus on what God did to Egypt for that is what He did to England which at one time was called Great Britain. And then what He did to Israel when they turned against Him for too long and He said; "ENOUGH!"
Just as God gave Israel victory over the Egyptians when they cried out to Him (read Acts chapter seven) , so did God give is victory over Great Britain when we called out to Him. And just as God literally destroyed Israel when they turned their collective backs on Him, so will He to us.
Have we reached the point of no return? The point where God has already said "ENOUGH!"? I don't know, nor does anyone else, but God. But this I can tell you, if we have not reached that point, we are certainly very close. And if we have not reached that point, it is only Christian men who can turn it around and save us from God's wrath and His vengeance. For we can not continue to kill little boys and girls whose only crime is that they are sleeping and growing in their mothers wombs. We can not continue to follow a path that allows a husband to cover up the beating that he gave his wife by having a court use hearsay evidence to order her starved to death.
IF God were not involved, satan would have first disarmed and killed all Christian men before he started slaughtering millions of babies and set his sights on people in wheel chairs. But, God has given us a chance, He has protected us from satan, now let us not continue to ignore Him, let us rally and stand up to the evil around us, let us stand up as Christians did to England in the 1770's, slavery in the 1860's. The attempted destruction of world wide Jewry in the 1940's. For if we don't, if God has not already said "ENOUGH!" He will shortly.
Our Constitution and our prayers, enable us to do this short of the barrel of a gun, but, it will not happen if all we do is sit around on our butts and say: "Isn't that terrible, why doesn't someone do something? Ah honey get me another beer will you?"
Now, I will speak as a man, not as a preacher, but as a man. I could not live with myself if I were Terri Schiavo's father. If I were Terri Schiavo's father, either I would be dead or Judge Greer, Michael Schiavo, and any and all standing between me and my baby would be. And to those in the pro-life, anti-life and body politic communities who are using this for profit, I will say this. Enjoy yourselves while you can, for one day, one day soon, you will find out that the writer of Hebrews, the man who took the dictation for God and wrote Hebrews 9:27 wrote it exactly the way God dictated it.
Lord Jesus, I beseech Thee, go to the Father on our behalf and ask Him to give us a bit more time. For Lord, God the Father would never say no to You. Anything You ask of Him He will grant, give us more time Lord, just a bit, but more. Thank You Jesus. Amen.
Is your pastor really pro-Life? IS your church really pro-life? Are you really pro-life? There is a bill in congress that ends abortion and cloning in the US Congress, it is HR-552, has your pastor mentioned it? Has your church mentioned it? Have you mentioned it?
The Lord bless you all and may He heal Mel's eyes and Myra's ears. May He be with Colby as he has now arrived at Paris Island and strted boot camp, A Christian babe amongst many a wolf. Amen.
May the Lord understand the importance of Mac, Cecily, Steve, and Rev. Jim Marstaller to this ministry. Lord I need them both healthy and able to continue to hold up their ends. Lord this cancer of Mac's is starting to get in the way, this ministry needs him whole, just a thought Lord, is all it will take, just a thought on Your part.
There is a young man, a veteran who suffers from some kind of chemical weapon exposure, in a Veterans hospital in Colorado, he is young, and he is Saved, yet his wife just abandoned him. Please pray for him, Lord, help him and deal with her and those who hurt him, we ask this of the Father in Your name Lord Jesus, amen.
The Lord our God, Christ Jesus, be with and bless you all, amen.
The difference between a true preacher and a false preacher comes down to this. The true preacher uses God's word to convict of sin, the false preacher twist God's word to justify sin. The Lord our God, Christ Jesus be with you always, amen.
The Lord our God, Christ Jesus, be with you all and please keep your pastor and me in your prayers. Amen. My prayer daily is "Lord please bless those tenfold who bless me."
Pray for the President, pray for Attorney General John Ashcroft, pray for me, pray for all those who open their mouths or take pen in hand in an effort to sway public opinion.
The Lord God of the Universe, Messiah Y'shua be with you all, amen.
It is better to be a horse fly in the stables of the Lord Jesus than the CEO of hell.
All Scripture quoted, in both sermons and daily thoughts, except when done by a guest, is from the ACP/authorized 1611 King James Version. The words in red are those quotes of God the Son, the Lord Jesus and the words in purple are those qoutes spoken directly by God the Father and the words in this sickly greenish color are of satan. But all of the Bible is spoken by God and should be viewed as God's handbook for us to run our lives by 2 Timothy 3:16.
