This is a question posed to all calling themselves Christian , and even to those who will say they believe in Him but they're just not ready to " hook up " quite yet . To the latter I would counsel - do you think God will settle for "second fiddle " or as a last resort if all else fails for ya ?
Do we ( I'm in this group also ) really believe what the Word has to say to us or are we ourselves actually guilty of being double minded at times ? Truths are hard scraping sometimes , not at all easy to digest . Have we ever pondered some of the reasons the prophets were being stoned ? It sure wasn't because of any sermons being preached on " saving souls and getting beamed up to Heaven ." Like the preacher said - as long as you paid yer taxes on time and didn't raise any ruckus ( that is , be a good slave ) , " Caesar " had no problems with you " playing yer church games ."
........................................................
Truth does not always lay well on our ears , so it has always been . Going forth on our own feelings and letting emotions dictate the path taken has led to trouble before . And it will again . To those of us who profess Christ as King and Saviour , let us all frequently examine ( including myself ) our bearings and ascertain that we drift not off course .
...................................................
Which brings us back to - did God say it , and do we act accordingly in obedience to our stated beliefs ? In speaking with folks day to day , I often ask - if it all turned upside down next week, next month - what would we of done differently TODAY had we of known these things ahead of time ? Well , if we profess to be Christians , then we already have ample warning.
We know how things will turn out ... the devil is really in the details though .
.......................................................
Would we of conducted ourselves in a different manner , perhaps been quite a bit more serious and dedicated as we were called to be ? Have we honestly considered ( and kept in mind ) that God watches us even now - He moves among us in spirit . I'm looking myself in the mirror as I state - we gotta rededicate ourselves to Him and to establishing His Kingdom here on earth . Fellow Christian soldiers ..... consider the following scriptures . Take them to heart and let us no more compromise God and His will upon earth . We must all give account ( that day will come ) so let's saddle up and " quit ye like men ." ( I Corinthians 16 : 13 )
....................................................
I'm just going to list a bunch of scriptures here - I think it will be easy enough for the diligent to put some "flesh to the bones " quick enough . And that is whom I hope I'm addressing here and that you're serious enough to take the time and look 'em up . Guess all have noticed I don't put up too much fluff for daily posts. I'll admit to pulling off the road and taking a " funny " breather or something of that nature but I'm not here to entertain anyone. There is work to be done and if nothing else - we know they will seek to shut down or more tightly control the content of the internet and probably soon. There's no time to be wasting .
...........................................
I'm aware this will bring charges of inciting unrest amongst the kinsmen , but I submit it is not I ( and those who adamantly state beliefs likewise ) but the hard hearted who will bring certain destruction upon us . We need to be more concerned with having to deal with Gods displeasure ... I'll worry about offending Him first . Victory will NOT be obtained apart from Christ , apart from submitting to His will and doing things His Way ( which is what Christianity was once called - the Way ) . We vastly underestimate the strength of our enemy and overestimate ours.
That is not a good thing .

Psalm 139 : 21 - 22
John 15 : 1 - 6
Matthew 12 : 30
II Timothy 2 : 1 - 5

Has His Word not been proven true here and yet we continue on -
Deuteronomy 28 : 15 - 68
I Samuel 8 : 1 - 22

( an idol or false god is anyone/anything you seek for deliverance other than Christ )

Matthew 11 : 28 - 30 " Come unto me , all ye that labor and are heavy laden , and I will give you rest ,
Take my yoke upon you , and learn of me ; for I am meek and lowly in heart ; and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
For my yoke is easy , and my burden is light . "
........................................
And since you did read Deut. 28 : 48 , do you not see the heavy yoke we suffer under now ? We will serve God or man .... and daily we witness the latters non - existant mercies . I believe the only thing separating us from an understanding and acceptance of Gods Word is plain and simply - our pride . It has been our downfall through ages past . Let's humble ourselves willingly , now , before we're driven to our knees in absolute despair .

Well , are these words in YOUR Bible also ?
So , our answer to the initial question would be ....... ?

The picture signifies the depth of depravity and senselessness that mans law has sunk too, and yes ... we've learned not to expect any mercy from them.
But our God is merciful, and welcomes the humble 'n repentant.
Sin simply means breaking His Law, a Law which we already know in part in our hearts. He said He would place them there.
His Law is what a father knows best and our people have experienced their blessings in obedient times past in all our countries.
We've been duped but we're waking up. Heed the call.

Excellent post Jeff.
Things are getting VERY serious right now on several fronts....internet censorship, attacks on the 2nd Amdendment and firearm ownership rights, "hate crime" laws to kill freedom of speech, etc. We've got to double and triple our efforts to wake up, warn, and educate the volk. And ultimately, we must get right with our Creator if we are to have any hope of victory.
Lone Wolf - yours may be the last of the favorable comments I can expect but I knew this time was coming. Our people have always rebelled against our God and nothing has changed.
Truths need to be hammered at even if it gets ya ostracized.
I'll probably follow up with a similiar post as I believe it's fitting. I'm open for discussion on where my errors are, but aren't these things scriptural ?
I've also found myself slipping off course, which is easy for us all to do in these trying times.
We all need to re -
think our commitments.
We need to stay brushed up on our Survival Manual.
We need to draw closer to Christ.
"For the preaching of Christ is foolishness to the world ..."
