Once again believers in Jesus Christ are confronted in
America with a leadership culture that is lost.
Absolutely lost. There may be
some leaders in Washington who believe in Jesus, but they are woefully
silent. Where are they, you might
ask? Good question. Oh, some go to prayer meetings once a
week. Well, that is good. But are they just cowering in the corner or
forgetful of who they are the rest of the time,
like so many who go to an hour church service on Sunday and then put on
the clothes and behavior of the world the rest of the week?
Recently the so-called National Cathedral hosted a muslim
worship service. Atrocious if you consider
that place to be the national cathedral. I surely don’t. It surely is not for any believer in
Jesus. That cathedral has hosted
speakers from other false religions before.
Just as Congress itself has. But
this perhaps was even worse, for it was a time of a group meeting for muslim
prayers to a false god.
There is only one God, and the only way for anyone to him is
through Jesus Christ. Jesus said “I am
the way, the truth, and the life. No one
comes to my father except through me.”
Well, not surprising the Episcopal National Cathedral would
do something like that. Yes, the
National Cathedral is part of the Episcopal church. The Episcopal church has been lost itself for
some time. For example, it allows
homosexual priests and performs same sex marriage. And you probably already know that. It is one of those organizations that calls
itself a church, but one wonders what God calls it.
In the wonderful end-times chapters in Luke 21, Matthew 24,
and Mark 13, Jesus warns us to watch that we are not deceived. He also warns us of false prophets. And Paul in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 speaks of a
falling away from God in the end times.
Well?
It long ago was time for true believers in Jesus to wake
up. It’s way past time now.
You are living in the last of the last of the last
days. Your government is lost. Your leaders are lost. Your culture is in the ditch.
Time for you to start paying attention to what is happening
and where you are. And to ask God to
forgive your country. Pray for others. Ask God what your role is in this time. I think you already know, at least
partially. For sure, one thing is to
stand up for Jesus as you are led everywhere you are.
Keep Your Eyes on Jesus!
