It is obvious that the things that the "liberals" hold dear are not only corruptible but they are damnable. Here is a starting list of the fruits of their reprobate minds that reads like a menu of today's society (see Romans 1)-- And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful... And the kicker is that they know that they are damned-- Romans 1:32, Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. These people are not "liberal" by any stretch of the imagination. They are slaves. 2 Peter 2:19 says, "While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the SERVANTS OF CORRUPTION: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage." Beloved of Christ, there is a lot of wickedness going on in this world and sometimes it can seem overwhelming. I've learned that I cannot put my eyes on what the wicked do. I have to keep my eyes on Jesus. Christian webmasters are experiencing increasing levels of persecution. The same hypocritical "liberals" that say "no censorship" are attempting to censor the Christian voice on the internet. Why? Because we testify of their evil deeds and like cockroaches they want to remain in darkness. My friend, if you are doing nothing for the Lord, it is high time to rise out of sleep and get to work. Do not sit in a corner fretting and being cowardly. You were not called unto that. Our God is mighty and He pulls down strongholds. "Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong." (1 Corinthians 16:13). If you do the will of the Lord He will indeed prepare a table before you in the midst of your enemies. I lie not when I say that I rejoice in the Lord in spite of the deeds of the deceived souls who have been ensnared by their father, the Devil. The gates of hell SHALL NOT prevail against the church. The man who knows his God is not in a corner, he is doing exploits. Instead of the defensive, get on the offensive. Seek out your spiritual gifts and then use 'em to the hilt! Jesus Christ is the Lord! Shout it out loud as you can, "Jesus Christ is the Lord!" Be a light in the midst of the darkness. Don't be overcome of evil but overcome evil with good. Pick up your King James Bible and say, "Thus saith the Lord!" Be a bright and burning light. Decide that the only way the wicked will shut you up is to put you in that grave. Jesus said in Mark 8:35 and 38, "For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels." Don't worry about some man killing you-- Luke 12:4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 12:5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. Fear God! Open up your eyes, your ears, your heart. Read the Bible and obey it. You will feel so clean and free. You will become a true liberal. You will be able to reach outside of yourself and cast a lifeline to others in the name of Jesus. Don't fear what wicked men will do to you. Don't take vengance on them-- Romans 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. As Spurgeon so aptly said, "Death is but a narrow stream". Make up your mind now that you will serve the Lord till you die. for Jesus' sake, tracy -- http://www.jesus-is-lord.com I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD. And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house. Ezekiel 2:4, 6
