America Arguing With The Word of God

"Every word of God is unalloyed, a shield to those who take refuge in Him."  (Proverbs 30:5-- Jerusalem Bible)

The NKJV translates our text, "Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him."  I believe the, "He," in our text is Jesus Christ, the Only One to Whom the "God-Breathed" Word refers to as "The Word of God."  The NIV translates, "unalloyed," as, "flawless."  There you have it.  The absolute "Unalloyed, Pure, Flawless Word of God [Jesus Christ] is a refuge and a shield"-------------------- for me, for you, for anyone. 

I want to draw your attention to the word, "unalloyed," today.  According to the dictionary, an alloy is "a metal made by combining two or more metallic elements, esp. to give greater strength or resistance to corrosion."  But with what could you possibly "combine" the Word of God, Jesus Christ, and His Words which would give more strength?--- Absolute zero.  Hence, the next definition: "an inferior metal mixed with a precious one, figurative-- debase (something) by adding something inferior."  America and the American church has been under the alloying process of corrupt leaders for decades.  I call it the "alloyization" of a culture, and the attempted "alloyization" of the Word of God. 

As I was working on this last evening, I received a teaching from a Mark Creech.  He shared a quote of Barak Obama.  It is a perfect example of an attempt to mix an inferior metal with a precious one.  "Democracy demands that the religiously motivated translate their concerns into universal, rather than religion-specific, values.  It requires that their proposals be subject to argument, and amenable to reason. I may be opposed to abortion for religious reasons, but if I seek to pass a law banning the practice, I cannot simply point to the teachings of my church or evoke God's will. I have to explain why abortion violates some principle that is accessible to people of all faiths, including those with no faith at all."

The writer went on to say that "currently, much of society prefers many choices to the struggles of life rather than one, or better still, a fusing of the many choices into some sort of conglomerate."  If
Americans, very especially Christian Americans, choose Obama, they are choosing an alloyed religion, a conglomeration morality, and will have to give account "in That Day."  Obama comes from a "mill" of specialists in alloy-ization of not only the Christian faith, but the America of The Constitutional Convention----------- the alloyed morality of Bill Clinton.    

Americans have traditionally worshipped at the altar of plurality, conglomeration.  If they choose to offer America on that altar on November 4th-------------------- the America which we have known will cease to exist.  For Sarah and me, "Jesus is (has been and will continue to be) a shield to those who put their trust in Him." 

Father, in Jesus' Name, Your Words are my Lamp and Light.  Holy Spirit, bring with great conviction any time I attempt to alloy or conglomerate them---------- Him.  Amen.
