Rape? Murder? Theft? Drug Addiction? Bombings? Do you know why we never solve the problems and things are only
getting worse? Because we keep mislabeling the problem. Society wants them locked up and more prisons built, because
it is a social problem. The psychiatrist wants to treat it with medication calling it a mental problem. The philosophical
mind calls it irrational behavior. The government calls it a terrorism problem and tells us that's why we are at war.
However, we need to call it what the Lord calls it, SIN, plain and simple. And the only answer for sin is Jesus!
As
Americans we are always told that we need to send more money to 3rd world countries to help them feed the poor, give medicine
to heal their sick and spread the gospel. Americans have sent BILLIONS of dollars (more than any other country)
for food, medicine, clothing, bibles, schools, missionaries to spread the Gospel and for every other human need you
can think of. So why aren't those people doing any better and why is the US getting worse? Because this world
is sick with sin and just sending money and spreading doctrine that isn't based on "Christ and Him Crucified as the
only answer to sin" is putting a band-aid on a wound that needs major surgery. Also, if we keep sending
resources to places that reject Christ, it is like pouring water into broken vessels, it will continue to leak out and
remain empty. The US is getting worse, because we have been tending to the needs of others while Sin has been getting
a foothold here. We need to get back to the "Old Landmark" and start calling sin, sin and begin to treat it with
the "Balm of the Word" and we need to start right here at home, RIGHT NOW! Remember the Gospel was first preached
throughout all Judea, Samaria, Egypt, Asia, Rome; the United States was not the first to receive the Gospel, the US didn't even
exist at that time. As the remnant, the true believers, we must make sure that the TRUTH of the word is getting out
at home first. I am not saying that we should stop helping other countries, but if your family is sick, how can
you leave home to help someone else's sick family?
Sin is an epidemic plague on our world right now and we
need to call on the "Great Physician" TODAY. Jesus never expected the sick to heal themselves, that is why He
healed them. He said He did not come to those how have no need of a physician, but to those who were sick.
If we want to help the sin-sickness of the world, the Lord tells us how to do it 2nd Chronicles 7:14: IF
MY PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME WILL HUMBLE THEMSELVES, AND PRAY AND SEEK MY FACE, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED
WAYS, THEN I WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN, AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR SIN AND HEAL THEIR LAND.
Until ALL Christians (those
professing Christ) in ALL lands do what the Lord says concerning sin (3rd World Countries included, because they
too have heard the Gospel) God's judgment will not be removed. It won't matter how much money we give, medicine
or troops we send; neither the land nor the people will be healed. God is giving us a wake up call, it is
time to get up, condemn sin for what it is and PREACH the TRUTH of the WORD, starting in our own homes, AMEN! Let's
do like Daniel and start REPENTING AND CONFESSING ALL SIN for ALL THE PEOPLE.
