Defending the Faith

March 13, 2021

Today, it is so important that we defend the faith that we have. Many are trying to rob us of it. The Biblical faith is being attacked on many fronts, and we must stand up and defend our precious faith against all the onslaughts of Satan and his forces.

When a nation gives itself up to sexual immorality, it will face judgment. We think we can do anything and get away with it but we have forgotten what happened so long ago to Sodom and Gomorrah. They went their own way. They sought after things that were not right in the sight of God and they paid the penalty. We will too if we do not repeht.

Beware lest we lose the power of preaching. We need to be careful that we don't get so wrapped up in modern technology that the media presentation becomes more important than the sermon itself. We may meet in a sanctuary with all the state of the art technical devices such as multiple screens, the most powerful projectors, the best sounding audio equipment, and superior acousitcs. Yet, powerful preaching is not there. We have substituted something else and lost the most important thing. Great revivals have always been accompanied by powerful preaching. We should not expect revival to come until powerful preaching returns to our pulpits.

As believers we enjoy fellowship in Christ's kingdom. We are not awaiting some kingdom in the future to enjoy fellowship but we have that fellowship now in the church. Yet, we do look forward to an eternal and abiding fellowship in the future eternal kingdom. We all have loved ones with whom we have enjoyed fellowship in this life who have gone on ahead of us to be with the Lord. We have the hope of eternal life and a renewed fellowship with them in the eternal kingdom that is yet to come. However, we have that fellowship around the table of the Lord here and now in the present gospel age. The kingdom is now. The kingdom is yet to come.

Satan and his forces will not be defeated by military power but by a spiritual power that they cannot overcome. Christ's kingdom by the power of the Holy Spirit will deal a death blow to Satan's influence in this world. Today, we must not become too discouraged when we see Satan and his forces raging all around us. We must look ahead with great vision and optimism and know by faith that God's kingdom will be victorious in this world. Today, we need to go forth in the mighty power of the Holy Spirit to preach the Word of God and Satan's kingdom will fall and Christ's kingdom will prevail.

We need to ask for God's mercy on our nation. Our only hope as a nation is a national spiritual revival. That will not come unless God sends it. That is why we need to pray and ask for God's mercy on our country and people. We have many problems not just COVID 19. Only a visitation from God is going to heal our land. Divorcing ourselves from God as a nation and a people will only reap disaster. We should never listen to those who want to completely secularize the nation. They are wrong. We need God. We cannot survive as a people without Him. We can learn from Daniel's prayer. He was praying for a nation and a people. Our nation is not Israel but we can learn some principles from this prayer that apply to our nation today.

We must ask for the turning away of God's wrath from us. While our political and government leaders haggle over the economy and many other things and almost totally disregard our great sins as a people, we must get on our knees and pray and stand in the gap lest we as a people and a nation are destroyed as sinful nations in the past have been. Daniel could have remained silent but he didn't. He pleaded with God to have mercy on His people and land and nation.

When nations sin, God brings judgement upon them. Some think our nation is exempt from God's judgement. We sin and then we ask God to bless America. We act as if we deserve God's blessing. Yet, we fail to realize that whatever blessings we have received as a nation have come upon us because of the generations who have gone before us who feared God. We are reaping what others have sowed in this land. Yet, that time of reaping is coming to an end. Judgment is already upon us because of our great sins and will continue if we do not repent as a people.

A nation that sins against God is covered with shame. Daniel was not afraid to admit the shame of his people. They were punished because of their great sins against God. Today, our great sins shame us as a people. The greater shame is that we are not repenting of our sins and God's judgement upon us has already begun.

Today, we as a nation are not acknowledging our great sins as a people. That's our problem. God sends his warning judgments against us in different ways and we don't recognize them as calling us to repent of our sins. Our forefathers recognized their dependence upon God and when they saw his displeasure with them, they confessed their sins and repented. We can learn from them!

We hear very little about conviction of sin in our churches today. Preachers don't preach on such topics. Yet, this is the problem with our society. We are sinners and don't realize it. We think we are righteous but we need to know that we are not. We are sinners and our sins come up before God everyday and they stink in his nostrils. That's what we as a society need to realize. Our greatest need as a nation is to know that we are sinners. We need to be humbled to realize our great need. Otherwise, we will never seek the remedy for our sickness as a people.
