So glad you joined us today. It is time again for A Word For Wednesday, A few moments ago I posted A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please give it a listen and leave us a comment here or on YouTube.
If I understand the situation correctly, Martin Luther said this when he was asked to tone down one or two of his pointed messages for the sake of unity.
If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the Word of God, except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at that point attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is tested. To be steady in all the battlefields besides is mere flight and disgrace, if the soldier flinches at that one point.
There are times, situations and circumstances when we must carefully and with love stand for right, even when all around us are standing against the truth.
The prophet Isaiah told of us our day and warned against compromising.
Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Bible believers knew this day was coming. We have seen glimpses of that prophecy for many years. We seem to be fully there now. Men calling evil good and good evil, putting darkness for light and light for darkness and putting bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. That is a perfect description of the USA in 2023. Wow!
The Bible believing church and Bible believing preachers are preaching the exact same things we have always preached. Suddenly because morals are now upside down, we are the bad guys. We have not changed our message, but now our speech is hate speech.
Things that most of the world considered immoral a few years ago, now are considered acceptable. In fact, they are so acceptable, that if the church does not promote them, the church must be canceled and destroyed.
Evil is good and good is evil. Yet Isaiah said, Woe unto them that do that!
We must stand for the details of God's Word even if the media and the world are against us. That is much easier said than done, but we must begin somewhere.
God, give me the courage to defend the precise point that is being attacked by the devil and give me the wisdom to do it correctly.
Pray for me. Thank you and thank you for reading.
