American Security. What a sham!

America is ruined.  A people spoiled by law.  As a basket of fruit might rot if left unattended.  If we speak of what is true we are shut down because we are not allowed to offend another’s mind.  Our speech and actions have become limited by the desires of sinful men.  No longer is the Word of God allowed to roam the streets.  Wisdom is no longer welcome at the city gates.  And can anyone point to a place in any city or town where entrance is required?

Where have we provided security for what is true?  Where is the guard in the watchtower who proclaims the approach of lies?  It is too late.  The enemy has been granted access to our most precious places.  How can we now point to an enemy who would destroy what is good?  He is now among us ruling and guiding the people into what is foolish and deadly.  Lost!  Lost is the hope of redemption for the security of truth within the houses of this once great nation. 

Is there any hope left?  Sadly, not for the nation itself.  But for the individual citizen there is still hope.  Turn to truth.  Abandon the way of lies and seek the Truth of God in Jesus.  In this there is hope.  But if you look for hope from the laws of America you will find none.

Bloody knives.

How blessed are those who know the judgment of God while still alive here.  To see the horror of their sin before they see the face of He who will judge.

I stood, this morning, with a heart aghast!  My sins so blantly laid at my feet.  Oh that my sin were something I could lay my hands on; perhaps as a part of my body black with sores.  I would gladly reach my hand to that place and rip it out myself!  But I fear it would completely cover my body from head to toe.  Then what could I do to rid myself of what now is a stench to my nostrils?  “Woe to me!  Woe, because I cannot undo what I have done.  I cannot straighten out one minute of my life, let alone my years of sins! 

I am glad to see and know that I am in such a state of affairs.  To know that what we are is a hopeless people.  Without Jesus and the Holy Spirit, how can we know we are in such disrepair?  To know that sin infests us like hideous bugs in our flesh.  To stand with a willingness to rip out that which offends.  How blessed is he who knows these things.

It is as if I had murdered.  I stand with the bloody knife in my hand and come to my senses.  My eyes widen and my mouth opens without sound.  I realize what I have just done and am murdered by myself in my own heart! 

OH! Lord have mercy on this man of foolish intent!  And is not this awareness a rending of the heart?  Those who witnessed and gave their bid for the crucifixion of the Lord went away beating their breast at what they had done.  This is sin!  This is a blessing of knowing the judgment before you arrive;  that you might beg for mercy and understanding before you see His face.
