This world is being flooded with tons of garbage:
Media Depictions of our Precious Lord Jesus
which would have us believe Him to be an
unstable person who has sexual dreams about
Mary Magdalene;
Worldly philosophies that are gaining
prominence as “right”, while theBiblical
beliefs are demeaned and Christians
harassed;
Christians “entertaining” the worldly idea that sin
needs to be ignored and we cannot be too hard on
sin.
The Bible says in Isaiah 59: 19 “When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will raise a standard against him”. The standard spoken of here is a banner, an ensign, whereby a
pole had an insignia on it which was taken into battle as a statement to the enemies that the truth of God is the only victory.
It is not up to us to defend the truth; it is up to us to display the truth; to raise it up high and show the world the truth of God’s holy Word. The truth of God is depicted in Ephesians 6: 14 as the belt that holds the entire armor together. Take away truth in any measure (even one area) and there is nothing to hold the armor together.
The truth of God is on trial in this world today and as Christians we need to proudly give our testimony that we still claim God’s Word as the ultimate authority for us. Alcoholism is an issue of sin and if this sin is continued in this life it will affect the body, soul and spirit. In Jesus Christ we are free from the bondage of sin and free from the label.
In St. Paul, Minnesota there was found a house to have within its walls five years of garbage and refuse. A family lived in this house and presumably lived with the garbage because they did not want to pay the price of garbage removal.
How long will we allow the garbage of this world to permeate our land, our home, our churches, our ministries? Let us pay the price to remove this stench. Stand up for the truth at all costs !!! “Buy the truth and sell it not.” Proverbs 23: 23.
