THEY DEFY GOD
Truly our God is a God of patience, longsuffering, tender mercy, and great compassion. He has all power to zap all evil people and yet He waits with patience. He suffers the defiance and rebellion of the very creatures He created.I was reading the words of David again this morning, the words he shouted to Goliath, the Philistine. This Philistine had been taunting the people of God for weeks but there was not one person what was brave enough to stand up against this giant until David turned up on the scene. Can I remind you of his words?
1 Samuel 17:45-47: “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in THE NAME OF THE LORD OF HOSTS, THE GOD OF THE ARMIES OF ISRAEL, WHOM YOU HAVE DEFIED. This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.”
These were spoken by a young 17-year-old boy, a young man who knew His God.
We are facing a similar war today. Do we realize that we are living in a nation that defies God? They have made same-sex marriage a law! That is absolute DEFIANCE against God who created marriage between one male and one female. We know that it is inspired by Satan who hates everything that God has designed and seeks to oppose it.
Now we have blatant rejection of male and female and an all-out-front to urge people to change to the opposite gender, to become the opposite of who God created them to be. They are DEFYING God just as Goliath was defying God.
It’s time for those with the spirit of David, men and women, young and old, to rise up and challenge those who defy God and His absolute truth. I read the other day that 99 percent of Americans should not have to adjust their morals to accommodate one percent of the population! Many public schools are now using two books, HEATHER HAS TWO MOMMIES and MY PRINCESS BOY for five and six-year-olds to encourage them to change their gender. This is again defiance against God.
Dear mother, make sure you are on the side of truth. The latest statistics published by the Christian Post state that “Just 2 percent of parents with children under 13 years were found to have a biblical worldview.” How will the next generation have a biblical worldview if their parents don’t?
It's time to rise up and speak out boldly. We must know the truth, speak the truth, and stand for the truth. We must never compromise. God is truth and anything that counteracts His word is false! We must challenge everything that defies God’s truth.
Romans 3:4: “Let God be true, but every man a liar.”
Let’s wave our banners for the truth,
