Hillary Clinton and George W. Bush are members of a denomination of 12 million members (7 million in the US)....640 of whom have brought charges against Attorney General of the United States Jeff Sessions for violating church rules....this related to the DACA children in the news. This single news item....in fact the whole DACA issue....gives a glimpse of what godless and communist inspired progressive education has done to America. The United Nations Human Rights Council also in the news is Communism in action and a case in point.
How did America came to where it is today where half....half of its citizens can be so easily and totally fooled....this is the issue that needs to be addressed. Conservatives generally do a good job defending against absurd accusations such as those being leveled against this administration on DACA children....but the other side has many more issues just like this that they can and do roll out one by one....keeping us on the defensive....year after year after year. The real cause of all this trouble is that America has forgotten God....coerced into doing so by Communism....that's why all this has happened!
The book Song Of Solomon begins with this...."Thy love is better than wine." Solomon.....inspired by the Holy Spirit....is looking ahead to Christ. Love of Christ is all-consuming in the redeemed....or it should be....Charles Spurgeon gave 52 sermons from the Song Of Solomon with this kind of language...."Thy love is better than wine"....and spent over twenty years....half of his ministry.....working on his Treasury Of David where Christ is exalted in words that we might find too syrupy and even be embarrassed by today. Folks....this is where we need to go back to.....this is what we must go back to....or we will continue to whither away.
We as a people have lost discernment on basics in American life and government because we as a church had first lost discernment on Christ and His Word. Since we can hardly see the Christ of Scripture we can hardly see the America of our Constitution. We have leaders who are adrift from the law of the Constitution because most of them sit in pews listening to pastors who are adrift from the law of God.
We do not discern the enemies of America because we do not discern the enemies of God. Our Congress can be of no help until our pulpits from which they sit in front of first convey the majesty and glory of Christ....the Person of Christ....the work of Christ in redemption....and the Second Coming and Judgment Seat of Christ.
Solzhenitsyn Was Right.....2010
Over a half century ago, while I was still a child, I recall hearing a number of old people offer the following explanation for the great disasters that had befallen Russia: "Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has happened." Since then I have spent well-nigh 50 years working on the history of our revolution; in the process I have read hundreds of books, collected hundreds of personal testimonies, and have already contributed eight volumes of my own toward the effort of clearing away the rubble left by that upheaval. But if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat : "Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has happened.
I wanted also to add these words by the 19th century Anglican preacher from London....and contemporary of Charles Spurgeon....J. C. Ryle.... "You may know a good deal about Jesus Christ, by a kind of head knowledge. You may know who He was, where he was born, and what He did. You may know His miracles, His sayings, His prophesies, and His ordinances. you may know how He lived, how He suffered, and how He died. But unless you know the power of Christ's cross by experience, unless you know and feel within that the blood shed on that cross has washed away your own particular sins, unless you are willing to confess that your salvation depends entirely on that work that Christ did upon the cross-unless this be the case, Christ will profit you nothing.... you must know His cross and His blood, or else you will die in your sins.....as long as you live, beware of a religion in which there is not much of the cross (emphasis his)."
