This Month in Faith Is Action

How Much does God love you? 
One of the greatest invitations in all the Word of God is found in 1Peter 5:7: “Casting all your care upon him; for he cares for you.” 

 

This is one lie the devil cannot slip on me: God doesn’t care! God is unmindful and unconcerned about me, His child. God said in His Word, “Can a mother forsake her sucking child?” And the answer is Yes! But God said, “Yet will I not forget you! Behold, I have engraven you upon the palms of my hands” (Isaiah 49:15-16).  

 

Every time God looks at His hand, He is reminded of you and me, and He looks down. He said that His eye is upon the righteous, and His ear is open to their call. And He said that in the time of trouble—He didn’t say that we wouldn’t have trouble, but that in the time of trouble, all we have to do is call on Him; for “He is a very present help in time of trouble” (Psalm 46:1).  

 

It is when we are being tested, when we are in greatest need, His presence is more evident. He is always there, but it is when we are in need that He is very present to help and assist. I found out in my own experience that God is going to let me do what I can do. Like with our own children, He is not going to wash my face for me if I am old enough to wash it myself. But when I am in need, at the point of helplessness, when I am faced with overwhelming circumstances, He is going to step in to deliver me.  

 

What Satan tries to do to the child of God is to create the illusion that God doesn’t care. Every thing he sees around him, and every event that occurs in his life, he interprets negatively with the help of the devil’s lies, until he is convinced that God does not love him. A Christian who has convinced himself that God does not love him has reached a very low spot and has been captured by the lie of the devil. I mean, even the sinner cannot say that God doesn’t love him—much less the Christian! ...   Continue to read this month's message in it's entirety.

Don’t Remove Ancient Landmarks

 

“If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (Psalm 11:3). I have used this text as the launching point for several sermons. It goes right to the heart of what American Christians face in the present godless, anti-religious, especially anti-Christian, climate. It has motivated me to preach boldly the unimpeachable principles of the Bible that I was raised on; that have been the foundation of our nation, the most blessed and prosperous in history. But they are now being removed with increasing rapidity—What will I do? What will you do? What will we do?

 

Recent experiences have further compelled me to stand for the truth: A few years ago, Benny and I had just returned from a trip to West Virginia to visit my son and his wife. I was busy that night putting things away, tired, and ready to go to bed. Around One AM, I suddenly awoke when I felt someone grab my arm. I opened my eyes and saw a dark figure standing by my bedside wearing a dark cloak with a hood. I could not see the face. I thought it was a burglar, so I pretended to be asleep, thinking he would just rob us and leave me alone. I lay very still, until I begin to feel sharp pain enter my body where he was sticking his finger into my side. I knew then it was satanic, and I began boldly and firmly rebuking it in Jesus’ name. After a time of praying and quoting Scripture, I felt it leave. I went back to sleep, and I was fine the rest of the night.

 

However, whenever these strong attacks occurred, afterwards I was often attacked with these thoughts:

 

You should stop preaching so hard about the sins of America and false teaching in the church! You need to stay away from controversial issues like abortion, homosexuality, same-sex marriage, transgenderism—hot button topics! You need to pull back on political issues like religious freedom, Supreme Court and federal judgeships, exposing the evils of Islam, and supporting Israel—You may risk offending not only sinners and unbelievers, but Saints who don’t care about these issues and only want to hear sermonettes that make them happy and edified—Then the devil would not come against you so strongly, and you wouldn’t have to deal with these attacks!
