How to Make America Great Again

10/19/2016

There has been a lot of talk lately about making America great again. Yes, our country has certainly seen some slippage lately, but not necessarily due to the reasons that some would think.

The primary reason is because America has forgotten the One Who made it great in the first place. God has power to raise up a nation, or let it bring itself down due to forgetting Him and moral decadence.

In the above verses, God promises to bring about many great blessings to the people who serve Him. It is not science or technology that brings the blessings, although those things are certainly helpful.

There are several blessings that God directly promises in these verses...

Psalm 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth."

Although the events that led to the writing of this Psalm are not clear, its message is very clear. It seems that it was in a day when God's people were being threatened, and the writer of this chapter of the Psalms is reminded of a very powerful truth by the Lord.

The enemy looked strong, and they were coming, threatening Israel with battle and destruction. Whatever the actual threat, God reminds His people in this Psalm that He has won many battles before...

God, Hurricanes, and the Promise of Final Good

Romans 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."

By now, everyone knows there is a dangerous hurricane on the way. By the time you read this, Hurricane Matthew will have already caused considerable damage on the eastern shore of Florida, and above it. Thank God that there has been considerable warnings, and many people have decided to leave and head for somewhere away from the storm.

At this point, no one yet knows what damage it will bring to their homes and property, but it certainly is not looking good. The pictures of the damage in Haiti is enough to strongly encourage people to leave the area –at least those who can.

Naturally, people who know about or experience unusual storms like this will tend to wonder why God might permit it. It only causes a lot of damage, tragedy, and people get killed...

Turmoil Surrounds, but the Mind Knows Peace

Philippians 4:6,7 "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

All around us we find turmoil of some kind. Whether it is in the form of crime, war, or hurricanes, peace is not the norm for many people. Others find nothing but turmoil when they go in to work. Cursing, yelling, talking about you behind your back, etc., all leads to a lack of both outer and inner peace. Driving to and from work does not help much, either, or taking a bus or subway.

In spite of all the problems surrounding us and in the world, we are reminded to think of the inner peace that Christ had. It was incredible. When accused, or confronted, He responded with kindness...

In the world of religion, some religious leaders claim that there are many different ways to get to Heaven. This is certainly apt to leave many people confused – and it will certainly lead many of them astray.

Although there are older religious books, the Bible alone offers not only a reasonable explanation for our existence, but it also provides a clear and sure way to get to Heaven. That way is also unique, and it stands in clear contrast to what the majority of the other religions teach.

My new eBook, The Dangers of Bible Ignorance, does not present a new message, but seeks to make very plain what the Bible reveals from cover to cover about going to Heaven. Most people do not understand it, including many church-goers.

Wear God's Armor for Victory

In the Apostle Paul’s day, times were tough in some places. The people in some areas treated him badly, and in other places there were almost no problems.

Paul knew very well that no matter what a community was like, it was not the people that were the problem. It was an enemy every believer deals with called Satan. He could stir up trouble anywhere, or cause people to relax – which often tends to make Christians relax, too.

In either case, strength was needed from God to be able to stand against the pressure that others may cause...
