Title: Get up, dust yourself off
and take your post!

Date: 11-06-2010

It’s not over! Get up, dust yourself off, and take your post!

This was just a bad chapter in a good book. The elections are over, at least for now, but not the battle for righteousness. It rages on. The battle for our individual liberties, our unalienable rights, our God-given rights are at stake here also. Our sacred, personal, individual rights as reflected in our Constitution are to be defended.

The federal government, which is made up of Democrats and Republicans, will continue its tyrannical ways, albeit in a more "conservative" fashion, but tyrannically nevertheless. That is something you can depend on. The government will be more powerful and "we the people" will be more enslaved. Bank on it, my fellow serial numbers.

Why do I suppose this?

"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children" (Hosea 4:6). America, once alive with the Spirit of God, is now "dead in trespasses and sins" (Eph. 2:1).

"If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?" (Ps. 11:3). The foundations that our founders placed this once-great-nation on, the Word of God and the Constitution of the United States, have been destroyed.

The Word of God has been replaced with the word of willfully ignorant men (see Hosea 4:6 above). And most of those willfully ignorant men claim to be Christians, "having a form of godliness but denying the power (authority) thereof..." (2 Tim. 3:5). Without God's Word, no government, laws or Constitution can survive for very long.

Men of low moral estate have been ruling our sacred civil offices. Infidels cloaked in religiosity are "professing themselves to be wise, [but] they became fools" (Rom. 1:22). God's Word, and the righteousness it represents, has, for all practical purposes, been outlawed.

So-called ministers of the Gospel are reluctant to recite it, quote it or even allude to it, even from their pulpits. They'd rather give you a mouthful of philosophic generalities as they meander through their mindless congregations hung-over on the worldliness of hedonistic addictions. The American pulpits are occupied by preacher boyz too cool to obey God's infallible Word. And those elders who know better, are too cowardly to hold them accountable ("Them [referring to pastors] that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear." 1 Tim. 5:20).

American military Chaplains are instructed not to proselytize, especially Muslims, while Americans cower with fear anticipating another "terrorist attack."

Cases of Bibles are destroyed by the American military but are offended by a Koran-burning exhibition of a lowly Evangelical Pastor, claiming that the act will enrage the Muslims, endanger the military and elevate the threat of attacks.

The endangerment of our military, the enraged Muslims and the elevated threat of attack have all been brought on by our total disregard of God's Word. Yes, God is punishing America. And America deserves it! I need not apologize for that statement. America and American Christians, especially, need to confess their sins (1 Jn. 1:9) and repent from their wicked ways (2 Chron. 7:14).

The Constitution of the United States has been ignored by our government, which is made up of Democrats and Republicans, and the citizens of each sovereign State sit idly by and make no effort toward accountability.

The overwhelming majority of Americans are dependent on the government for some sort of “entitlement,” whether it’s Social Security, or Medicare, or Medicaid, or secured home loans, or school loans or grants, etc., etc., etc. And when the unconstitutionality of such entitlements is declared by a handful of us, the crickets seem to be the only ones present.

The endless string of undeclared wars propagated for the benefit of the International Bankers and the elite in Washington, is done at our children’s expense. Their lives are sacrificed on foreign soil with the hypocritical notion that they are fighting to preserve our freedom while the very government that’s sending them to their death accelerates our future homeland enslavement.

Americans are ignorant of the Constitutional limits on government and are not all that concerned about it anyway, as long as their Party wins the election.

The Ship of State is sinking at incredible speed but all that voters can do is exchange Red deck chairs for Blue. Then celebrate when they are successful. Yet, America continues to sink. And all because it hit a giant iceberg of ignorance.

The public schools have been degraded to centers of filth, teaching our children that homosexuality is normal. Once-great Christian Universities, like Harvard and Princeton, have been taken over by Christ-deniers and all the while claiming that the Constitution demands “separation of Church and State.”

Ronald Reagan once said, “In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem.” Since government is made up of Democrats and Republicans, Mr. Reagan could have been more specific and said, “In this present crisis, Democrats and Republicans are not the solution to our problems, Democrats and Republicans are the problem.”

Both major political parties are guilty of robbing us of our liberties. They have gone way beyond the enumerated authority that was legally specified in the Constitution. They are outlaws violating the supreme law of the land. They are anarchists rejecting the law that is to govern the government. The Democrats and Republicans are both GUILTY of breaking the law. And the Christian community is guilty of enabling those criminals.

And the Church?

Our pastors are like “watchmen [that] are blind: they are all ignorant, they are dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber” (Isa. 56:10).

They are incapable of warning the church of the impending danger. They are unable to discern the times. They are unaware of their own spiritual deadness. Claiming to be prophets of God, they are puppets of the government. Hiding behind their 501c(3) and their misinterpretation of Romans 13 they’ve become the very ones that prepare the sheep for the slaughter by instructing them to comply with the unconstitutional laws and statutes.

Philosophy has replaced the Gospel. Education has replaced knowledge and tolerance has replaced love. Mistakes have replaced sin and apologies have replaced repentance.

We are powerless, spiritless and heartless, more concerned with ourselves than for our lost neighbors. Not having a burden for even our own children’s salvation as we offer them at the altar of secularism. Allowing the god of this world to mold them into his image with his education, his philosophy, his worldview.

The church is suffering from spiritual autism from all the injections of “false doctrine” that pastors have subjected it to. They’ve inoculated the church against the truth.

So, what do we do? Get up, dust yourself off and take your post!

We must stand for righteousness. Christian Constitutionalists must stand for righteousness. You’re obligated before the Lord.

This election will fix nothing! The ship of state continues to take on water. Rearranging the deck chairs will do no good. She’s going down fast.

Only a repentant, submissive, obedient church will have the power of God to truly change things. “God’s people, doing God’s work, God’s way. God having His way in His work through His people.”

Government will not save us, nor a particular political party, nor a particular president. Only God can save us from all the complex problems introduced into the Church by Satan and the negligence resulting in our society because of it.

So get up (repent), dust yourself off (be reconciled with God) and take your post (stand for righteousness). In every arena, stand for righteousness. In the political arena, stand for righteousness. In the cultural arena, stand for righteousness. In the ecclesiastical arena, stand for righteousness. In every arena, at all times, among all people, stand for righteousness. Even If you stand alone, stand for righteousness.

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not” (Gal. 6:9).

The battle rages, get up, dust yourself off and take your post!
