If the things of Christianity and the nature of sin as exposed in the gospel does not stab you to the heart, that ought to stab you to the heart!

Gold
What happened to the gold the Nazis took from the mouth of God’s people? Was it not melted down and sent into the treasuries of the world?
Will you have a love for gold? Will you desire the riches of this world? Do you realize what such a love means?
Not only might it do good to consider the gold from the mouth of God’s people, how many others have given their life that the rich may be powerful?
There is a true judgment coming! There will be no favoritism based on a man’s gains in this world.
Why Now?
All day long you go about your business, as if all you have to fear is the safety of your goods and your health. I hear you, people of the world, I hear the noise of your machines. I hear the words of songs that should never be sung. I see how you parade around as if there is no account to be made.
Will you listen if I tell you?
Will you hear if I speak?
Will you care if I tell you I fear for you?
You have not in the past.
It’s not likely you will now.
All the noise of your godless ways will cease. You will be caught by hands that encompass your entire soul. All, as if one man, will be brought in chains to appear before the Living God. You will be brought to account in an instant.
“Suddenly, in an instant, the Lord Almighty will come with thunder and earthquake and great noise,
with windstorm and tempest and flames of a devouring fire.”
Inhumane Cruelty
The world is cruel and inhumane. By the structures of its society it creates incredible need. So it rakes in money for police, psychologists, psychiatrists, and all manner of medical profession. It creates all kinds of instruments for dealing with food, clothing, and housing. Still it makes no headway against the horror it creates.
Then it advertisements remedies for the trouble it causes, showing pictures of saddened and agonized faces. It is as if they say, “You deserve to feel this way, and we can help you”.
All the while, they make rules and regulations that bar worship of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Righteous and Holy Son of God stands ready and willing to repair all these insane troubles. But the world would rather manipulate the broken hearted and elevate their own pride.
Shame on you!
UTTER BLIND FOLLY!
Release
If you are in Christ, your sins are like a corpse that lays exposed on the ground. They are detestable and grotesque. But they can do you no more harm than a dead body. Turn away from them and do not fear them.
When temptations come, remember your release. They are no more then a band of fog or a mist that comes before your eyes. Pass through them they have no power over you anymore.
What do you owe the Lord Jesus for such a glorious release? You simply owe him everything. You owe him all your fears. You owe him absolute allegiance. You owe him adoration, praise, and thanks. You owe him your very life.
If you busy yourself with a love for Jesus, you will have victory over the things that used to defeat you.
The inverse of all these things is also true. But we are not like those who, once released from bondage in Egypt, complained and desire to go back. Instead, we are a new nation of peoples. Our bodies will not litter the way to the promised land. We will love him with all our heart and arrive set free.
Expedient?
Division is made between the politics of man, which people say is a necessary evil, and the Holy commands of God. One sides with this because he says it is expedient, another sides with that for the same reason. Really? Is that really the best we can do?
I hear from God that the judgement is coming for just such things.
Shall it be necessary for God to say to anyone of us, “You did not stand apart from them. You did not warn them. You did not speak of the murderous things men do”.
All for the sake of the mighty dollar. You cannot serve both God money. Didn’t he say this? Why don’t we believe Him?
As a servant of the Most High God in Christ should I pity man because he does these things? Should I give men quarter and say, “Oh but it is necessary”? Or is it right to stand with eternity to proclaim the will of God without fear and without compromise?
I am nothing. I am no one. But the living God is God of all!
