The Morning After …


On this day following the general election, I have these random thoughts:
  • ·         God granted to you and me the dawn of a new day …meaning He is not finished with us yet.
  • ·         God is still on His throne … meaning He rules, and His will and way will prevail.
  • ·         The only true victory … is that which is found in Jesus’ conquering death and resurrection to new life.
  • ·         The eternal message of salvation and righteous living remains constant … and does not diminish by the whims of mortal humanity.
  • ·         The need for the true Church’s work remains heightened … as revealed in our fallen and deprived humanity.
  • ·         Our message doesn’t change … like those tossed about by the latest trends of popularity or pressure to conform.
  • ·       The Creator’s commands for the creature’s living are not in the finite hands of government, but in the divine providence of God who directly intervenes in the affairs of man.
  • ·         This is a spiritual war, and yesterday was but one battle … and we already know ‘Who’ wins the war.
  • ·         The war for the hearts of this fallen race …is won one sin-sick soul at a time by the loving witness of God’s warriors – unless God brings about a revival … for which I earnestly pray.
  • ·         We cannot retreat … but continue in obedience to His Word – engaging the enemies of righteousness.
  • ·         Believing that truth will always triumph … let’s not be disheartened in proclaiming what we know to be the way, truth and life.
  • ·         My preaching will not diminish on addressing the moral decadence of our society … as I remain committed to equipping the saints to engage the culture.
  • ·         Our work from here requires an “overtime” performance– not unemployment … and the benefits are well worth it.
