Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him.”
The following words are from one of Adrian Rogers' devotions:
Postmodernism tells us that there is no absolute truth. Whatever you believe is okay. Whatever I believe is okay, too. Whether they agree or not doesn’t matter.
But in this age of postmodern thought, we must contend with this basic truth: Truth stands alone. It doesn’t require human interpretation. And let me add that in discussing Christian Truth, there is a divine disturbance that occurs. I don’t believe we can be neutral about real truth. If Jesus is God, then we must bow down and worship. If Jesus is not God, we ought to boot Him out the door as a liar and a lunatic. You must decide. There is no neutral ground. Either you are with Him, or you are against Him.
Today you must choose whom you will serve.
Joshua 24:14-15 "Now therefore fear the LORD and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness. Put away the gods that your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD. And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the LORD, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."
Just as in the days of old, when the prophets were among us, we too must make that choice. We can serve gods of stone, metal or paper (money) etc. or we can serve the living God who will return one day soon to judge the world in truth for it's wickedness. Look to the signs of the times to see if the bible is speaking the truth of the future. Are there increasing earthquakes, tornadoes, tsunamis, wars, famines and disease? Are people seeking self instead of God? Are they lovers of money instead of helping the poor? Matt.24 :4-8 And Jesus answered them, "See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and they will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.
2Tim.3:1-5 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
Lord God, how I shudder at these, Your words, in 2Timothy: 3! If only people could see the goodness and mercy of You while it is still available to them. Someday it will be gone because of their indecision and there is no going back. Death comes in the blink of an eye! Hell is a real place for the eternal soul of the lost to dwell. It is a horrible place of suffering and separation. Lord, I ask for mercy and forgiveness for the ones who continually turn their back on You. Help us show them the glory of a Savior who is waiting for them. I am a sinner saved by the grace of Jesus. Open your heart to Him today because you may not have a next breath. Only Jesus has the power to save you!! Amen
