Truth and Encouragement from God’s Word

As we continue to traverse a world that is seemingly blowing apart at the seams, we need to be challenged and encouraged in the truth of God’s Word. I am compelled to do what I can to accomplish that. I have spoken and I have shared, but God has sent us Godly men and women who powerfully proclaim the truth of God’s Word. It is a disservice not to share some of those powerful words.

Be blessed by this nugget from Amir Tsarfati:

In the book of 1 Kings, the prophet Elijah asked the undecided people: “How long will you falter between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.” But the people answered him not a word. (1 Kings 18:21) It is often only when something dramatic happens that people reconsider their beliefs. Yet even then, unless their faith is deeply rooted in God and His Word, the shock and momentary solidarity will not last long. Israel, shortly after fire came down from heaven on Mount Carmel to prove that “The LORD, He is God!” (1 Kings 18:39), quickly fell back into idolatry. Eventually, they lost their status as an independent nation, and what Jesus later referred to as “the times of the Gentiles” (Luke 21:24) began. 

I was present in the New York area during 9/11. I saw the World Trade Center towers the afternoon before they collapsed. I shared in the shock and anger the American people felt. And yet, 24 years later, a Muslim politician who once called to defund the New York Police Department is poised to become the mayor of the Big Apple. At the same time, a former Al-Qaeda commander—an admirer and disciple of Osama Bin Laden, who has been responsible for slaughtering minorities in his own country—now wears a suit, practices a subtle political jihad, and will be applauded in the hall of the United Nations General Assembly, in that very same city. The woke progressive left, allied with neo-Nazi antisemites and radical Islamists, is sowing deception, confusion, despair, and fear across the world. They are agents of chaos, carrying out the mission of their master, who comes “to steal, and to kill, and to destroy” (John 10:10).

America and the free world stand at a pivotal moment. As I have said before, these coming weeks are shaping the future for the short time that remains. I could try to offer political and economic solutions, but in the end it is a matter of the heart. Unless people allow God to change their sinful ways by believing in the One who came to pay the price for sin (John 3:16; Romans 5:8), and unless they are filled with the Spirit of the God of Israel rather than deceived by demonic spirits that masquerade as light, wisdom, and reason (2 Corinthians 11:14), there will be no true change in the direction this world is heading.

As a student and teacher of the Bible, I know exactly when and how it will all end, because God has revealed it in His Word (2 Peter 3:10). Until that moment comes, we are called “not to grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart” (Galatians 6:9). We are called to be overcomers: “For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?” (1 John 5:4–5) And it is all because He said: “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

The assassin of Charlie Kirk will soon hear his verdict: guilty — and the just sentence, death.

But one day, there will be another courtroom — the Great White Throne — where every unbeliever will stand trial before the Judge of all. Unless we are born again, we will face that judgment too.

The Bible says:

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
(Romans 3:23, NKJV)

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
(Romans 6:23, NKJV)

“For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”
(2 Corinthians 5:21, NKJV)

This is exactly what Isaiah foretold:
“But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.”
(Isaiah 53:5–6, NKJV)

And all of this was motivated by love:
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
(John 3:16, NKJV)

The assassin deserves his penalty. But the greater question is personal:

 Have you been born again?
 Is YOUR name written in the Book of Life?
(Daniel 7:10; Daniel 12:2; Revelation 20:11–15, NKJV)

That is why Scripture pleads with us:
“Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”
(2 Corinthians 6:2, NKJV)
