God Isn't Finished With This Nation

God Isn't Finished With This Nation

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2512697/fan_mail/new] This week's Moment of Truth: Matthew 5:13-16 (NIV) — "You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under foot. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden, neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl, instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." As we reflect on 250 years of this nation's history, the question is not what America was. The question is what you are going to do about what it is becoming. The United States was founded as a Christian nation — not opinion, not sentiment, but legal fact. In 1892 the Supreme Court ruled unanimously, drawing on 80 historical and legal precedents, that this is a Christian nation. Our rights do not extend from a muddy puddle in an accidental universe. They extend from our Creator. Will Christians today have the courage of those who signed the Declaration of Independence — risking their homes and fortunes for freedom and righteousness? God blessed the founding of this nation. He saw it through 250 years of struggle. And He is waiting today for our courageous commitment to Him. It has been said that the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is that good men do nothing. As Christian Americans, doing nothing is not an option.

Run Your Race

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2512697/fan_mail/new] This week's Moment of Truth: Hebrews 12:1 (NIV) — "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." The world did not want Jesus. It will not want you either. Not at work, not in your children's education, not at the voting booth. So, what are you going to do about it? Real faith takes courage. Not just believing the Truth — living it, even when it costs you. On Father's Day, a golfer named Wyndham Clark was heckled relentlessly by a hostile crowd at the US Open. He didn't change how he played. He stayed focused, shot by shot, and won the tournament wire to wire. Success didn't silence the fools. It never does. You serve Jesus, not the mob. Their right to be them does not give them the right to define you. Your task is to follow Christ — one interaction, one day, one decision at a time. Not theirs. Not the crowd's. Yours. When the devil whispers that you are not enough, treat him like a badly behaved spectator. Ignore him and keep running.

No Bystanders

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2512697/fan_mail/new] This week's Moment of Truth: Romans 12:9 (NIV) — "Abhor what is evil. Hold fast to what is good." On June 6, 1944, an estimated 160,000 soldiers landed on the beaches of Normandy. There were no bystanders. Everyone on this planet had a vested interest in the outcome. The fate of humanity hung in the balance. The same is true today. You cannot appease evil. Neville Chamberlain tried it with Hitler for three years while the world turned a blind eye — and 6 million of God's chosen people paid the price. Burying your head in the sand is not an option when evil is stealing the future of your children, corrupting your culture, and silencing your church. Here is what you also need to know: evil is always worse than you think it is. What you see is only a shadow of the darkness that pervades this world. And as we stay silent, it gets darker still. There are no bystanders in the clash between good and evil. Not in 1944. Not now. You have a unique place to serve on this spiritual battlefield. The only question is whether you will show up.

Rock or Sand

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2512697/fan_mail/new] This week's Moment of Truth: Matthew 7:24-27 (NIV) — "Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock, and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand, the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it." The rain will fall. The floods will come. The winds will blow. That is not a maybe — that is a promise. The only question is what your house is built on. If your hope is in politics, you are placing it in men. Men who were wrong yesterday and will be wrong again tomorrow. Men whose schemes created the problems they now promise to fix. But if your hope is in God, His Son Jesus Christ, and the unchanging truth of the Bible — then politics becomes what it was always meant to be: a necessary human undertaking, not the foundation of your life. Politics is downstream of culture. Culture is downstream of faith. And biblical faith — rooted in the unchanging truth of God's word — is the foundation on which everything else must be built. So what is yours built on?

Stand with Israel

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2512697/fan_mail/new] This week's Moment of Truth: Mark 3:25 (NIV) — "If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand." On October 7, 2023, 1,200 men, women, and children were murdered, raped, and burned. And the world blamed Israel. That is not politics. That is not opinion. That is the work of a godless world that has targeted God's chosen people since the beginning — and it is happening on college campuses, in our legislatures, and on the streets of this nation right now. Jews have been attacked since day one because God declared them His chosen people. And as a Christian man, you have been adopted into that same family. So where do you stand — with the Father and His family, or with a world that hates them both? Antisemitism is an abomination. It is taught by idiots to fools. And it is up to Christian men who honor God to stand against it — with intention, with resolve, and without apology.
