God Will Not Be Mocked

And so He’s going away.

going ??? on the contrary, He was rejected some 40-60 yrs ago, at least, and we have been reaping the fruits of our *collective* idols since then...

He allows us to degrade and destroy ourselves in an effort to show us a need for Him...

weve been in judgement for a while, and it only acelerates going *forward*...

I found the assigned scripture lessons yesterday very comforting and eerily appropriate. The hymns were great too. It is very good to be reminded who is in charge, and it isn’t me!

“Everybody should watch Dr. MacArthur’s sermon where he discussed the Democrats adopting the sins of Romans 1 as their platform.”

Do you have a link?

But what they don’t realize us. God is there and hasn’t forgotten. Remember this? “Revenge is MINE sayeth the Lord”. One day the party goers will realize while they got into the party for free at the end It is time to pay up for what they have enjoyed. Then and only then will they realize just how much they have wasted.

We will either be ruled by God or by men. The thieves, liars, perverts, murderers and God haters have taken the critical mass. Ruled by men it is then. Nations are judged as well as individuals. God will not spare a nation such as this forever. I do not despair, he always preserves his remnant.

In the story of Abraham and Sodom, it is worth remembering that Abraham overestimated the number of godly people in Sodom and Gomorrah. In the end, even Lot’s wife preferred the sins of S & G to following God.

I see almost no trace of godliness in large areas of America - the Northeast, or the coastal areas of California. Almost every large city has rejected any pretense of godliness.

America requires a moral electorate. We are no longer a moral nation. No wonder we are doomed to fail. America is doomed and probably has been since the 1960s. All that was left was to fight a rear-guard delaying action, and now ven that has been sabotaged. So we race toward tyranny and America falls from Grace. We are doomed.

For years, whenever I came to the part where the townspeople called for the angels to come out, I had always forgotten the previous debate. I mistakenly thought the Lord destroyed the place because of the events in town. Since he always honors his word, it only dawned on me later that the correct number were not found.

I agree. I can barely think of one prominent person in this country that is widely known as an authentic believer. There are many good prominent pastors/apologists, but they go unnoticed in the “popular” culture. More people know Tim Teebow than John Macarthur. We live in alternate universe.

“Still, there will be condemnation for America. Things will get far worse before they get better – if they ever get better. As individuals, we will each stand before God and give an accounting – we will all face judgment. As a nation, we can only be judged in the temporal – in the here and now.”

Kaslin, I was attempting to explain this very thing yesterday to a Libertarian (OneWingedShark) that was attempting to use the Lord Jesus Christ as an excuse to allow all kinds of degeneration around him. More or less saying that the “liberty” that faith in Christ produces is an excuse to allow open sin around us as a nation. I hope he takes the time to read the article...it is very wise and true. BTW - I used to read John MacArthur’s books for years.....kind of sorry I lost touch with his ministry.

It saddens me that more haven’t read this article you posted.

I did not say that. I said that going the legislative route is the wrong way: that we need to change hearts and minds (which isn't really us, but is the Holy Spirit's job).
Or, put another way: you're pursuing the effects rather than the cause -- doing so will only result in both being lost.

I'll read it.

Two predictions: Both Hugo Chavez and Hillary Clinton will each expire of natural causes by the end of January. One for a stolen election and dictatorship and the other for the American deaths in Benghazi, the lies and the subsequent cover up. Just a hunch but I know God is not mocked.

UPDATE: Venezuelan Dictator and (recently) rigged re-elected President Hugo Chavez is now in an induced coma and on life support. He in fact may be DEAD before the week is out. The doctors in Cuba where he is for cancer treatment, maybe have to pull the plug. GOD IS NOT MOCKED.

To my previous, new years opinion: "Two predictions: Both Hugo Chavez and Hillary Clinton will each expire of natural causes by the end of January. One for a stolen election and dictatorship and the other for the American deaths in Benghazi, the lies and the subsequent cover up. Just a hunch but I know God is not mocked."
