"They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom and talk of Your power...." (Psalm 145:11)
We were up at 05:00 yesterday to go to Washington, DC, to attend a military funeral at Arlington Cemetery; hence, no devotional.
Some of you have been praying through the Psalms with us this month in preparation for next Tuesday's American presidential election. Yesterday we read my "favorite" Psalm, 145. No matter what happens in America next Tuesday and the days following, we will continue to "speak of the glory of Your Kingdom and talk of Your power," as long as we have breath in this life, and then with the angels and saints in Glory in eternity. This is our mission statement in life, to declare the glory of King Jesus, the glory of His Kingdom, and the "the glory of....'the power of His resurrection.'" What is that we pray? "Thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever." And what is that we preach?-- "the message of the cross...to us...the power of God."
Humanism has been defined as "the doctrine emphasizing a person's capacity for self-realization through reason; [it] rejects religion and the supernatural." (Online Dictionary) Darwin and his puppets, the humanists, the Democrat Party, CNN, MSNBC, et. al, have tried to destroy the "God-Breathed" Word in this generation more than ever. The message of the cross is foolishness to the them------because they are "those who are perishing------- but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." Humanism, self-realization, Darwinism, have proven powerless. Look at history. Look at the world right now. Look at America. Rejection of Jesus Christ, Who is "The Word of God," rejection of Jesus' Blood, Jesus' Cross, Jesus' resurrection, Jesus' ascension' Jesus' return, Jesus' eternal reign, leaves one with absolutely nothing but powerless dreams, powerless promises, powerless politicians, powerlessness Itself. Americans will soon reveal whether they have "exchanged the truth of God for the lie," the power of God for the powerlessness of man.
Here is a great old "truth" hymn of the Church, written in the midst of the Darwin frenzy and lie of the 19th century, which should encourage you today. May the "Church of the Living God" keep writing and singing such songs.
"My faith has found a resting place,
Not in device or creed;
I trust the ever living One,
His wounds for me shall plead.
Enough for me that Jesus saves,
This ends my fear and doubt;
A sinful soul I come to Him,
He'll never cast me out.
My great Physician heals the sick,
The lost He came to save;
For me His precious blood He shed,
For me His life He gave.
Refrain:
I need no other argument,
I need no other plea,
It is enough that Jesus died,
And that He died for me."
What say you?
Father, in Jesus' Name, this is my response to the Darwinian humanists--- Your Glory, Your Power, Your Christ. Amen.
