We Will Not Bow

Grace To You ^ | July 19, 2015 | John MacArthur

[daniel1212]

Like lost souls of the OT, "Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits," (Isaiah 30:10) the media and even many using the name of Christ today censor those who oppose those who speak out against the Sodomization of the United States, with SOTUS itself effectively penalizing those who refuse to sanction this unity in error.

In contrast, this type of clear message is what needs to be preached by the leaders of every church which dares claim to be that of the living God, the pillar and ground of the Truth.

This is a long (approx. 45 min) sermon, and I tried to excerpt (and did somewhat) portions, but there was little I dared leave out. The whole message can be read at the link , and free audio or video downloads can be downloaded from here .

Finally, note that providing this does not mean I concur with all that MacArthur teaches, but this in particular examples a courageous stand for incontrovertible Truth.

The two greatest attacks of terror on America were perpetrated by the Supreme Court. Not by any Muslim, but by the Supreme Court of the United States.

Amen.

Great overview by Macarthur.

[sauropod]

I have a lot of respect for John MacArthur.

Matter of fact, I have his study bible. An excellent resource.

[metmom]

That’s right because muslims can only kill the body but not the soul and spirit.

The degeneracy that is being foisted upon us will cost people their souls.

We wrestle not against flesh and blood and the weapons of our warfare are not physical.

[Noumenon]

This sermon's a little shorter, but it does get right to the point: What would Michael Collins do?

[~Vor~]

This sermon by MacArthur was excellent...I usually listen to at least one of his each day, but this was outstanding...there is also a link to order this July 19th sermon on 2 cd's (free) on his gty.org website...if I remember correctly, the offer was good thru 08-05...

I agree with the contention on abortion.

Terrorism.

But to equate homo marriage with terrorism is simply absurd.

In fact I don't care who a homo "marries", nor a good Christian. I simply cannot understand the fevered opposition.

The state will do as the state sees fit. They will not compel you to marry a homo.

Why does anyone care who or what the state certifies as "marriage"?

[SoConPubbie]

Why does anyone care who or what the state certifies as "marriage"?
Because God cares!

[Psalm 73]

Thanks for posting - listened to this sermon on the way home from work last week.
Great points made - like Peter said: "Don't be surprised...."

[Psalm 73]

"Why does anyone care who or what the state certifies as "marriage"?"

Because this goes to the very fabric of our culture - and because God said not to do it.
Did you read the whole sermon? And still you don't see it as a big deal?

[Twinkie]

There comes a time (as it may well have already done) when one finally says, “Let those who be FILTHY be filthy still (in peace).” - The “state” will never be able to govern itself; that is why Christ will return to this earth & the government will be upon his shoulders. - It will happen quickly. I can’t say precisely when; but quickly, and, I suspect - soon. - Meantime, those of us who don’t SUPPORT queer “marriage” will be increasingly ostracized & criticized as “stupid”, “ignorant”, & “intolerant”. Then if we don’t comply, eventually the authorities will come for us - after they’ve punished us severely enough to accomplish total compliance.

"There comes a time (as it may well have already done) when one finally says, “Let those who be FILTHY be filthy still (in peace).” - The “state” will never be able to govern itself; that is why Christ will return to this earth & the government will be upon his shoulders."

That5's where I'm at.

I can't affect Adultery, Divorce, Abortion or Homo Marriage.

The state has made it's decision with the clear support of a voting majority (through it's representatives).

This is a problem for the state and the society it want to create and nurture.

With the exception of Abortion. I have to believe we can, someday, somehow, do something about that.

Otherwise there is truly, no hope until the Second Coming.

Dear FRiend, I have always had a “live and let live” approach to this issue as well.

However, the “terrorism” comparison enters the equation when individuals are forced to, not only participate, but celebrate something that is against their deeply held beliefs. People are losing their livelihoods, their businesses, their homes, and their savings over this.

I was faced with the prospect of being asked to provide the music for a Lesbian wedding (long term customers), who decided to tie the knot when it became legal. I was afraid to answer the phone when my caller-ID indicated that they were calling me. However, I did answer (praying all the while) and the request was for something else (THANK GOD!)

Of course, I am a penniless widow, so nobody would get much if they sued me! The joke would be on them.

[metmom]

But the lawsuits are not about money.

They are about setting precedent and changing the laws.

Did you ever read Frank Peretti’s book, Piercing the Darkness?

Granted it’s fiction, but it deals with a scenario where a little school in a small no name town is sued and why it was picked.

It’s an interesting book.

[left that other site]

Oh yes!

I read it many years ago, along with its companion book “This Present Darkness”. Excellent stories, over 30 years old, but still relevant today.

And, you are right. These “lawsuits” go after the most vulnerable. Little old lady florists, for example.

Why get married?

Follow the money:

FOR tax purposes!
