I watch Fox News yesterday and once again they had someone from both the left and the right going at it. And once again it was the left that was on the attack. This time she was attacking the right for it's lose of core value's. That is interesting. This is however always been their strategy. Attack them for their values and then attack them for their complacency of their values. This is a tool that Satan likes to use. His servants have picked up on this trait and have learned very well how to use this propaganda to get Christians to turn their backs and run. Or even worse, to join in on their foray. In Revelations 20 we are told that the cowardly as well as the liars and all doers of evil will be cast into the lake of fire. In Proverbs 1 we are told that those that do evil are continuously attempting to draw others into their evil schemes to justify their actions. But as we know it is to their own detriment. Perhaps no where else in the bible does it explain so well as in Psalms 2 of the hatred that mankind has adopted for God. And no one else explains it any better than does Charles Spurgeon. Below is a quote from his writing s from the Treasures of David. You can read for yourselves. Beyond that not much explanation is needed.
"Charles Spurgeon, Treasures of David, Psalms 2
Verse 1. We have, in these first three verses, a description of the hatred of human nature against the Christ of God. No better comment is needed upon it than the apostolic song in Acts 4:27, 28: "For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, for to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done." The Psalm begins abruptly with an angry interrogation; and well it may: it is surely but little to be wondered at, that the sight of creatures in arms against their God should amaze the psalmist's mind. We see the heathen raging, roaring like the sea, tossed to and fro with restless waves, as the ocean in a storm; and then we mark the people in their hearts imagining a vain thing against God. Where there is much rage there is generally some folly, and in this case there is an excess of it. Note, that the commotion is not caused by the people only, but their leaders foment the rebellion. "The kings of the earth set themselves." In determined malice they arrayed themselves in opposition against God. It was not temporary rage, but deep-seated hate, for they set themselves resolutely to withstand the Prince of Peace. "And the rulers take counsel together." They go about their warfare craftily, not with foolish haste, but deliberately. They use all the skill which art can give. Like Pharaoh, they cry, "Let us deal wisely with them." O that men were half as careful in God's service to serve him wisely, as his enemies are to attack his kingdom craftily. Sinners have their wits about them, and yet saints are dull. But what say they? what is the meaning of this commotion? "Let us break their bands asunder." "Let us be free to commit all manner of abominations. Let us be our own gods. Let us rid ourselves of all restraint." Gathering impudence by the traitorous proposition of rebellion, they add--"let us cast away;" as if it were an easy matter -- "let us fling off 'their cords from us.'" What! O ye kings, do ye think yourselves Samsons? and are the bands of Omnipotence but as green withs before you? Do you dream that you shall snap to pieces and destroy the mandates of God--the decrees of the Most High--as if they were but tow? and do ye say, "Let us cast away their cords from us?" Yes! There are monarchs who have spoken thus, and there are still rebels upon thrones. However mad the resolution to revolt from God, it is one in which man has persevered ever since his creation, and he continues in it to this very day. The glorious reign of Jesus in the latter day will not be consummated, until a terrible struggle has convulsed the nations. His coming will be as a refiner's fire, and like fuller's soap, and the day thereof shall burn as an oven. Earth loves not her rightful monarch, but clings to the usurper's sway: the terrible conflicts of the last days will illustrate both the world's love of sin and Jehovah's power to give the kingdom to his only Begotten. To a graceless neck the yoke of Christ is intolerable, but to the saved sinner it is easy and light. We may judge ourselves by this, do we love that yoke, or do we wish to cast it from us? "
I have watched intently over the last several years as the liberal establishment has been on the attack against Christians and their values. I have also watched many churches that have folded under the criticism for the sake of keeping their seats full. They have adopted a politically correct stance in order to keep their followers from going somewhere else. To that I say. If your members just want to have their ears tickled then there are plenty of seats still available in hell. Because the bible tells us that the flames of hell are never satisfied. Christians have been attacked for their values and now Christians are attacked for their lack of values. Did any of you think that it would be any different. Their is only one thing worse in the eyes of a non-believer. And that is someone who has turned their backs and walked away from their beliefs. As the saying goes. There is no honor among thieves. Those that have drawn Christians away from their beliefs are thrilled about being able to do so but at the same time they have a disdain for those that have walked away from their beliefs. But that disdain is directed more to God than to the persons that they have drawn away from God.
Those that walk away are nothing more than a trophy that Satan likes to wave in front of God. But in the end Satan will not enjoy those trophies. And neither will those who like to point out the failures of Christians. For it is not Christ that has failed. It is those who have chosen to hold onto their worldly desires and fear man more than they fear God. Those on the left who defy God to the end and like to do this will spend an eternity with a cruel master who at that point will no longer care about any trophies. He will be suffering the same as they will and then the realization of an eternity without God will come to light. The delusion that they can somehow bring God to His knees will come falling down and the horror of their eternity will be with them forever.
Now they reticule Christians for failing to stand for their belief. They ask where the core values of the Christian Conservative has gone too. My question is. Where are their core values. They attack a Republican pedophile while justifying the actions of those pedophiles on the left. And as should have happened, that person was booted out of office. However the pedophiles that are among their ranks are protected and voted back into office. That is what their core values are about. Anything that is ungodly. As I said in my email to Fox News. Their values are in their pants. As is evident by their justification of their sexual immorality. History bears that statement out.
Charles Spurgeon is right on in his commentary. He points out that the kings have set themselves up against God. But it is not just kings. Our elected officials are part of that scheme. They have joined forces with groups like the ACLU to rid America of Gods word. But in the end they are ridding themselves of eternal life. That gift from God that is only attained through Jesus. As I said earlier it is to their own detriment. Christian! These people will ridicule you no matter what. Don't let them destroy your faith or your walk with Jesus. Because in the end it does not save them or keep them from their destiny with their father in hell. Just don't let them take you down with them. These people want a god that will bow down to them. But in the end every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord. That is what these people hate. The fools of Hollywood, the left wing establishment and everyone else that has set themselves up against God can rail all they want. That will not change the final outcome. Only giving their life to Christ will change that.
