 "Choose this day whom you will serve... 

But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." 

Joshua 24:15

 

I love the illustration above, representing, in my mind, people of all nations with their hands on the globe, praying for the entire world, standing together, united and working for the common good. Our world is in a heap of a mess with more violence towards Christians, especially those who are identified as Evangelical Zionists, or those who stand with Israel for their right to be a nation, and for the rights of the Jewish people scattered all over the world. In many regards I am not surprised when certain people follow the misconceptions being spread, because the Bible said it would be so, especially in the last days, and this is the history of the Jewish people and anyone who is a friend. But, it is alarming to see that the actual Church, the Body of Christ, is buying into the gossip and slander on social media without caring to check the facts. Perhaps if more people stopped scrolling and consulted the infallible Word of God much of this hatred could be eradicated. More than this, however, a major problem exists, because the Bible is not being taught as one compelling story that it is. The Bible is a book with sixty-six chapters written by the Jewish people for the Jewish people. It is the story of Israel, and as such should be read and taught as any important book. It is the MOST important book every written, as it was written by God's Chosen People, the story of the land of Israel and how we as believers can become part of the story.

In my blog posted yesterday concerning the Jerusalem Summit, the speakers agreed that many pastors and leaders are too afraid to stand up to the lies of the media or the incorrect doctrine being taught in the church itself, or they just want to push it aside for someone else to deal with. After all, they are busy building their church and their agenda. God's plans just don't seem to fit their plans, but they believe they are guided by Holy Spirit. This may be an unconscious reasoning, nonetheless, we need to examine our hearts to ascertain the truth. Why does no one speak up and out about what is happening in our world today. Psalm 139:23-24 tells us to search our hearts to see if there is any wicked way in us. Second Timothy 2:15 tells us to study to show ourselves approved, workmen who rightly divide the word of truth. That means we can have discernment that comes from knowing and living God's laws. Then we won't be duped into believing what every popular journalist tells us. Whereas this is the responsibility of each believer, it should be a standard for the pastor or leader of every church so we will not be confused or made to believe what is simply not true. Much education is needed, but first, repentance - for believing negative reports without proof. Learn to know the truth. As someone once said "God said it, I believe it, and that settles it." Become that person who truly trusts in the Word of the Lord.
