A friend of mine who pastors in Nigeria once said to me “ya know, America has sent more missionaries into the world than any other nation before it. But the nation that once sent missionaries has now become the mission field.”
As you consider the calling God has for you, I just want to remind you that just as other nations need missionaries we need missionaries in America too.
There are a lot of neighborhoods right here in our country that desperately need evangelism and discipleship. Let’s not forget them.
"Having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.” 2 Timothy 3:5 (ESV).

Today some professing Christians assert that Critical Theory, Critical Race Theory, and Intersectionality are helpful tools for the Church. These people have an appearance of godliness, but their assertions deny the sufficiency of God’s Word to guide the Church in living out the reconciliation Jesus secured for us on the cross.
Make no mistake, as Paul told Timothy, the God-breathed Scripture is sufficient for teaching, for correction, for training in righteousness.
Those who have an appearance of godliness, but deny the power of God’s Word for doctrine and practice must be identified and avoided.
“She took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.” Genesis 3:6(b) (ESV).

Genesis 3 records for us the cataclysmic rebellion against God in the Garden of Eden. The entire episode, Eve’s entertainment of the sensual lies of the talking snake, the deceptive twisting of God’s word, all of it transpired with Adam standing right there.
Adam was the one to whom God entrusted his word to originally, Adam was the one God charged with cultivating and protecting the garden and his wife.
Yet he stood there silent.
Men, let us not repeat Adam’s sin of present absence.
Stand on God’s word and defend your gardens!
"I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.” Psalm 139:14 (NASB).

A generation has been taught they descend from animals, that there is no God.
They’ve been taught they are nothing more than a cosmic accident, they have no purpose and life has no meaning.
Life’s meaninglessness has been punctuated for them by the 60 million children who’ve been slaughtered in the womb… and counting.
But society is shocked when they act out exactly as they’ve been taught… like animals with no conscience.
Respect for human life begins with respect for the Life-Giver.
America needs repentance!

Buzz Aldrin is the famed astronaut who planted the American flag on the moon and explored it for some 21 hours.
What many don’t know, however, is what Mr. Aldrin did to commemorate the moon landing.
Aldrin, a committed Christian and Elder in his local church, marked the incredible occasion by celebrating Holy Communion. This first meal ever eaten on the moon was a celebration of the LORD’s table, a lunar declaration that Jesus Christ is our LORD, Savior, and soon coming King.
“Jesus answered him, "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word.” 14:23(a) (ESV).

We live an era currently where spirituality is en vogue. Christ following is not.
Some, even claim to love Jesus while simultaneously rebelling against His word and encouraging others to rebel similarly.
But, Jesus said it himself: “if you love me you will obey me. Whoever does not love me does not obey my words.”
Make no mistake about it, to love Jesus is to obey Him. You cannot love Jesus and disobey Him.
If you are living in rebellion against Jesus’ word, you are not following Jesus as He’s revealed Himself in scripture. You’re following a god you’ve created.
“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb.” Psalm 139:13 (ESV).

According to the CDC and the Guttmacher Institute the number one reason women choose abortion is they’re “not ready for a child.”
2) “Can’t afford a baby.”
3) “Don’t want any more children.”
4) “Don’t want to be a single mother.”
5) “Not mature enough to raise a child
6) “Would interfere with education or career.”
Those reasons represent 95% of all abortions.
Risks to the mother’s physical health represent less than 4% of all abortions and conception resulting from “rape and incest” represent 1% of all abortions.
The reality? Abortion is used as birth control.
“Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion.” 2 Corinthians 9:7 (ESV).

Merriam Webster’s dictionary defines socialism as an economic system in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state. The distribution of goods are controlled by the state. It is a system where there is no private property. A stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism.
American socialist put the descriptor “democratic” in front of socialism because they hope to persuade you to vote for… the elimination of private property.
Make no mistake, socialism is socialism. There is no kinder, gentler form of it.

A popular effort in social revisionism is happening where “racism,” which is better described in Biblical terms as skin-color-based partiality, is a crime of which only people with lighter skin color can be guilty.
Let’s be clear, factions, divisions, and dissensions, including those based on skin color, are the fruit of the sinful flesh.
The root cause of partiality is sin.
Every person, regardless of the quantity of melanin in their skin, is capable of partiality.
The only remedy for sin is the blood of Jesus Christ.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said “an economic system that allows billionaires to exist is immoral.”
Someone may want to let the former bartender turned Congresswoman know that the top 1% of wage earners pay nearly 50% of all federal taxes.
The top 10% of wage earners pay nearly 70% of all federal taxes.
The top 20% of wage earners pay about 85% of all federal taxes. That money funds things like our national welfare programs.
Don’t let them entice you to harbor disdain for the wealthy. Socialists bank on covetousness to gain support for their regressive policies.

According to the most recent reports provided by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), researchers looked at fertility rates for women of all age groups and ethnicities and found the nationwide rate was 16% lower than what is needed for a population to replace itself.
There has been much discussion about the demographic winter in various European countries. Well, that demographic winter has reached the United States.
The first command God gave mankind in scripture was “be fruitful.” But, man has the penchant to fancy his own ways over God’s.
Rejecting God’s ways always carries severe consequences.

According to the World Health Organization, abortion was the leading cause of death worldwide in 2018. As of December 31, 2018, 41.9 million babies were murdered in the womb last year.
That is more than the 8.2 million people who died from cancer in 2018, more than the 5 million who died from smoking, and more than the 1.7 million who died from HIV/Aids in 2018 globally COMBINED!!!
Thomas Jefferson once said, “I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever.”
LORD, please strengthen us to abolish this wickedness!

According to a recent study published by the Christian Post, 76.3 percent of all abortions are obtained by "God-fearing women," with 68.7 percent who identified themselves as Christian women and 18 percent of all abortions obtained by self-described, born-again or evangelical women.
A corresponding Care Net study found that many women with unplanned pregnancies go silently from the church pew to the abortion clinic, convinced the church would gossip rather than help.
America's greatest need is for repentance. When the hearts of the American people turn to God, everything else will be impacted.

Hannaniah, Mishael, and Azariah weren’t the only Jewish exiles in Babylon. They weren’t the only people under Nebuchadnezzar who knew that YHWH expressly prohibited worshipping graven images.
Yet, they are the only three recorded in Scripture who refused to bow down and worship the golden statute. Though they were an extreme minority they refused to go along to get along with the Babylonian culture.
The way of Christ-following may be in the minority today, it is nevertheless The Way.
Resolute is the disposition of the fully persuaded. In this modern day Babylon, be one of the three.

Full weaponization of the federal government to crush a political opponent, politicians and a political party that bill themselves as pro-life while refusing to actually do what’s in their power to stop the killing of little babies, the successful and unrelenting advance of Regressivism…
All of these are signs that our national condition is not merely a natural phenomenon. It is spiritual.
Civic engagement without spiritual engagement produces political roller coasters. National course correction will only come by national repentance. We must elevate Him.

When their mom passed the Landau brothers of NJ had a garage sale to clear out their mom’s house, but they decided to keep a few things including mom’s old creepy painting of a woman passed out in a chair and two men trying to revive her.
Fast forward to their estate auction and the brothers found themselves fielding bids from France and Germany for the painting.
Turns out it was a long lost Rembrandt that ultimately sold for $1.1 million.
A trained eye spots value where others don’t.

It's not by chance that Jesus refers to his Church as “The Body.” Just as it is with our physical bodies every member has a distinct role and function to fulfill.
Unfortunately, in the era of celebrity Christianity we’ve reduced the concept of ministry solely to what occurs in what is often little more than Sunday productions and performances.
The key to thriving in God’s Kingdom is understanding that every member in The Body of Christ is vital called to ministry.
They said to each other, "Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked with us on the road, while He opened to us the Scriptures?"

These words were shared between Cleopas and his companion on the seven mile walk from Jerusalem to Emmaus as Jesus, in resurrected form, used the Hebrew scriptures to reveal himself to them as the Messiah.
There are at least 109 distinct biblical prophecies the Messiah has to fulfill. The mathematical probability of such a feat occurring is astoundingly absurd. Yet that absurdity is satisfied in Jesus the Messiah.
Come let us adore Him.

With support from its Republican Governor, Phil Scott, Vermont is on course to become the first state in our nation to guarantee a right to murder pre-born babies in its constitution.
The Vermont house voted 107-41 to place Proposition 5 on to the ballot for consideration by voters there in November.
According to the Pew Research Center, 70% of adult Vermonters say pre-born baby murder should be legal in all or most cases.
The citizens will vote, but God is the final judge!

The CDC has been collecting information on Covid hospitalizations for more than a year. But, the agency has withheld most of it from the public.
What’s more, the agency seems to have selectively published information to support public messaging about boosters.
According to the New York Times, when it published its first significant data on the effectiveness of boosters in adults, it conveniently left out the numbers on 18 to 49 year olds which showed that age group was the least likely to benefit from boosters.
This is why no one trusts them anymore.
