Indifference

I communicate with those involved with denominational-church activity across the nation. The words always come back, we are just trying to hold our own. We know that there is a 0% growth in churches in Europe, that churches in the Scandinavian countries are drying up. Locally, everyone states that their congregations are mostly a “sea of white hair”. I ask you, is anyone concerned? Have churches, denominations just succumbed to the apathy of surrender to the sorcery of Satan? It is much like the republican-conservative politicians which CONCERNED patriotic Americans have sent to Washington. Obviously, in a state of mental anesthetic ism, paralytic actions, a stupor resulting from a desire for Satanic acceptance-popularity-cocktail party invitations, they have decided that morality and sorcery and political correctness is more important than righteousness and Holiness. Politicians, pastors, prelates, have decided on defeat. They seem perfectly content for Obama and his ilk to empty the treasury of our hard-earned tax dollars and strangle with increased regulation. Satan, his enablers, must delight in how easy has been the “gift”, “the end justifies the means”.

The Christian has been the “bulwark” explaining the genius of the American experience. I blame the pulpits for the loss of the future church. 70% of all young people reared by well-meaning parents, taking their youngsters to church, after leaving home for college or otherwise, leave the church. THE PULPITS HAVE PREACHED FEELING INSTEAD OF FAITH. Faith is a fact not a feeling. Young people want something solid, a faith to defend, faith through grace on which to hold... to cling in time of trouble-doubts-fears.

Before the foundation of the universe, the Sovereign God of the universe designed everything. We realize that we are ruled by imposters, pretenders, “jackals” of every stripe, every perversion, white house to the local courthouse in government. Satan's forces do not care if this once Christian nation is destroyed. There are so many liberal-communist-democrat, “demons”, and their fellow travelers who are just waiting to crawl around the rubble of our destruction. But, there is no excuse for God's people, even His elect, to give up so easily. Every academic tells me that students from the lower grades to college have just become indifferent... they just don't care.

In two gardens, the Garden of Eden and the Garden of Gethsemane, God fought the battle of indifference and won. Jesus Christ is the answer, not just His perfect life, not just His crucifixion, but the Power of His resurrection.

To show the Power of Jesus Christ, in His book, God took four chapters to describe the creation of the world. (Genesis 1-4) But, the tabernacle in the wilderness which represents Jesus Christ, He took 20chapters. (Exodus 25-45)

In the design of the tabernacle, the outer court was for activities. 2.5 million people crossed over the Jordan River. The males of the twelve tribes were continually offering sacrifices-burnt offerings. There must have been a steady line of animal slaughter, incense going up to God as a sacrificial offering. (so much blood in the Bible, because so much sin in the Bible) The outer court was a place of human activity. The inner court, “Holy of Holies”, the Ark of the Covenant a type of Christ, covered in pure gold, mercy seat at the top, man's relationship with God.

The modern day church, it's activities buildings with pool tables, ball courts, world-like activity of every type, thinking that bringing the world in the church will hold on to church people, instead of church people going into the world as was so masterfully and historically practiced for so many years. (the America’s christian church sent 90% of all missionaries out into the world) Christian young people “witnessed” pretenders on the pews, charade and masquerade in the pulpit and choir. Was there really a difference between the inner court and outer court? I can assure you, without fear of contradiction, that if you put ten rotten apples inside a barrel of good apples, you will soon have a barrel of rotten apples, measure micro tissue of cancer in a healthy body, you will soon have a dead cancerous body. There has been a lack of separation, good from the bad, holy from the unholy, chosen from the unchosen... a mixture of tares and wheat which has led young people reared in the church, young people reared with an appreciation of patriotism right down the slough of despondency and away from the absolutes of redemption by God and belief in the genuineness of our republic.

Search the world you will not find greater evidence of Christian belief and sacrifice than the mountains of Cappadocia-Turkey, ( I saw these places) where Christians hid and made lives for themselves, surviving for the Glory of God. Just think, hiding in holes in mountain sides, yet over time, making entire cities where they worship. There was nothing indifferent about them, and such is our heritage. Peter speaks of Cappadocia. “But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you” (1 Peter 1-25)
