I have been crucified
with Christ;
it is no longer I who live,
but Christ lives in me,
and the life which
I now live in the flesh,
I live by faith
in the Son of God,
who loved me and
gave Himself for me.
Galatians 2:20
Many of those claiming to be Christian, even "feeling" Christian are only desiring what God will give to them. They want the promised eternal life, they want God to give to them things in this life, they want God to give to them health, happiness, in this life, they want, want, and want. As has been said, hold out both your empty hands, wish in one and want in the other and see which one gets full the quickest! So many attend Church to get the "feeling" a "feeling" that they are serving God, and worshiping God, and they "feel" inside that they are doing just that, a warm, fuzzy, sort of feeling, a swaying of the body, a shouting in some gibberish form of speech, and then its over, and they go about their life as usual, oh! they may do good things, but even pagans do than, oh! they may attend Bible studies, even non-Christians attend at times, oh! they are doing so much for Jesus! Ha! This is not Christianity, this is far from what makes a Christian. A Christian is one who is so identified with Jesus Christ that nothing else in the world is satisfying. We are as Christians to turn over to Jesus Christ, to God all disposition to sin, all emotional expressions and intellectual beliefs into a simple moral verdict against sin. When we have become identified with Jesus Christ, that is to be identified with His death on the cross is the heart and crux of a Christian. When it comes to making a moral decision and we have become identified with Jesus Christ we will act upon it as being one with Jesus Christ. It is this free committal of yourself to God that God will send to you the Holy Spirit who will impart to you the holiness of Jesus Christ. We are still individual persons, with all of our talents, and gifts, but our disposition is altered and the right to ourselves is destroyed. Christians do not put their faith in faith, but faith in Jesus Christ and this faith then as Paul said: "That the life he lives in the flesh" not the life I hope to live in the future, but now, the life that men can see, this is the life a Christian lives. The Galatians had begun to be mislead by others and this has and is happening in many Churches today: "O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified"(Galatians 3:1)? How has the Christian been bewitched? One important manner was the leveling of the sexes so that they are not different but have some form of equality with each other, so that the roles are the same and this has occurred by the emasculation of men and the masculinizing of women. This is the fact as was pointed out in the last blog by the Humanist Manifesto I, II.
Make no mistake about what I am saying, we are not speaking of equality among the sexes, yet that is what is being destroyed, rather we are speaking of authority as outlined by the Scriptures, and as Christians we are not our own, it is not our decision to make as to how the Church is governed, it is God's and He has revealed it to us. But, there are forces as was mentioned in the last blog that have another agenda, and today I will mention another force that has had its impact upon the Church, the family. It is the force of Communism. I have lived through what was the cold war with America and Russia, against Democracy and Communism. It seems as with the fall of the Berlin wall that Communism was defeated at least in some manner: it has not, they are willing to "boil the frog."
On Thursday, January 10, 1963Fritz Springmeier, author and lecturer from Oregon, spoke to the House of Representatives for Mrs. Patricia Nordmand of De Land, Florida, who who was set forth to expose the dangers of Communism, and addressing Mr. Herlong, the speaker of the House and which was recorded under unanimous consent the "Current Communist Goals," which were 45 items, I will only quote those that pertain to our subjects:
#24: Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
#25: Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and T.V. (My note: Notice the shows on T.V. alone, such as the newest show called "Scandal," it is a scandal, nothing but sex and pornography, but this is shown to children not only in the home, but in advertisement, movie theaters, etc.)
#26: Present homosexuality,degeneracy and promiscuity as :norman, natural, healthy."
#27: Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. discredit the Bible and emphasise the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
#28: eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
#36: Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
#37: Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
#38: Transfer some of the powers of the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioural problems as psychiatric disorders which no-one but psychiatrists can understand or treat. (My note: Notice the use of Prosaic in the schools, and the sudden increase of those children diagnozed with ADH, etc.)
#40: Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
#41: Emphasise the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
#42: Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interests groups should rise up and use united force to sove economic, political or social problems.(My note: notice what is and has been happening with those groups called "Occupied Movement.")
If that is not enough Rules for Communist Revolution were captured at Dusseldof in May 1919 by Allied Forces.
#1. Corrupt the young; get them away from religin. Get them interested in sex. Make them superficial; destroy their ruggedness.
#2. By specious argument cause the breakdown of moral virtues, honesty, sobriety, continence, faith in the pledged word, ruggedness. ( My note: We can see this has and is happening with such things with college students and "Spring Break", heavy drinking, and the breakdown of marriages and the forsaking of marriage vows)
#8: Cause the registration of all firearms o some pretext, with a view to confiscation and leaving the population helpless.
There are eight tenets and I just gave those that are germane to our discussion. Yet, with these few tenets you can see that this is a frontal attack upon the family, moral values, etc. This attack is not just targeting the nation, it is targeting Christians, for it is Christians who apply moral values to their lives, those values that were ordained and revealed to man in His word. We cannot be naive and say that the Church has not been affected by such men who are anti-Christian. John wrote this warning: "Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour"..."Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son" (1John 2:18,22). In John's second letter he wrote: "for many deceiver have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist" (2John 2). John advises the Church: "Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward. Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. If anyone come to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds" (2John 8-11).
We are to guard the Church and this we do be examination. We examine what is being taught and by whom, and then if we find that they are not teaching the Doctrines of the Bible, rather they are teaching "good" sounding words, philosophical jargon that makes for "good" feelings, we are to remove ourselves from that Church or out from under that teacher or pastor. We are to be identified with Christ. We do not have a notion of who Christ is, we know that He is God, God incarnate, come to die for the sins of all those God would give to Him. Is this important? Yes! We cannot sit back and tacitly accept what is and has happened to the Church, to the people, the call-out ones, Christians.
Grace, mercy, and peace
will be with you from
God the Father and from
the Lord Jesus Christ,
the Son of the Father,
in truth and love.
