Are We On God's Side Today?

Are We On God's Side Today?
The title is a very serious question indeed, but especially so for those who call themselves Christians today.

So how does a Christian discern the reality of just where he stands, or whose side he is actually on? We see so-called compelling evidence offered to support many theories today, but where can we actually go to find the real, saving truth?

One sign that is very much with us today is the actual existence of the modern state of Israel in the Middle East. Other signs are catastrophic occurrences throughout the world, far too numerous to mention here. We also cannot help but observe the warfare of militant Islam against America and Israel, because of our foreign policy that supports and favors Israel in all of its goals, essentially. We morally support it, and we materially support it with our very hefty financial support using billions of U. S. taxpayer dollars. Apparently, America loves Israel above all other nations on the planet, it seems even above herself! And it fears Islam, as being antagonistic and militant against its current policies, as has been very apparent by its opposition to the building of a mosque near ground zero. And recently a minister in Florida wanted to set aside a Saturday night to hold a burning event for the Quran. Well, do the sacred Scriptures offer us any deeper insights into the current situation, along with any way through? Where is the sure guidance that we need to take us through such a dangerous minefield as now exists?

If we are wise, we would do well to look beyond all of the external signs and signals to the infallible Word of God itself as contained in the Holy Bible. It is there that real truth is spoken, and not in the words of mere men who think they know, but who really don't know, and but continually lead the nation down a rat hole. It is there, in the sacred Word itself, where the real answers are, and have always been.

Today we hear much from men who claim to know all about Antichrist. But what do the Scriptures have to say about him? Let's take a good look.

Any serious Christian who has a concordance can look up references to him in there. They can be found at I Jo. 2:18, 19 4:1-6, 5:1, 5, and II Jo. 7-10.

So, what do all of these verses tell us about him? Let's see, I Jo. 2:18 tells us that many "antichrists" were already in the world in John's day. I Jo. 4:1-6 reveals to us that the spirit of Antichrist is one which "does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh" (v. 3). Further, such Antichrist spirits are "of the world" (v. 5). In II Jo. 7 he tells us that "a deceiver and an antichrist" is one who does "not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh." So he repeats this very important point, to further emphasize it. Then, words of warning are given for the believers in Christ to abide "in the doctrine of Christ" (v. 9), and not to greet others who do not believe in Christ, lest they share in their "evil deeds" (v. 11). In other words, believers are not to get bogged down with unbelievers. The Gospel of Christ is on the line here, and is far more important than forming relationships and alliances with those who reject Christ.

Wow, doesn't this shed much needed light on the subject of "Antichrist"? Yet, today, the Apostle's words are rejected by modern evangelicals and premillenarians in favor of a different consensus altogether. Today's interpretation of Antichrist sites those nasty, contentious Gentile nations who supposedly will go to war against unbelieving Israel when it reinstates the temple at Jerusalem and another system of animal sacrifices set up in place of Christ, God's Savior who is still rejected by the nation. Today's interpretation says that Christ will return and go to war against these Gentile nations who reject modern Israel's project set up in place of the Savior Himself. Today's interpretation says that such unbelievers are still his chosen people, and not believers, contrary to the actual words of Scripture! (better check out I Cor. 1:2, 15:2; Gal. 6:16; Eph. 1:4,14; Jas. 1:17-18, just for starters!) Today's interpretation says that there is no "synagogue of Satan" (Rev. 2:9, 3:8-13), but only the unbelieving Jews who must always remain the special chosen people of God, contrary to the actual words of Scripture.

It appears that many modern American Christians who have casually and blithely accepted the fables of men and have rejected the actual words of sacred Scripture are justifiably afraid of what may be coming their way, except they repent. Is it that some still small voice within them tells them that they are indeed not on God's side, but on Antichrist's side instead? Is it indeed that they are beginning to realize that they have not done their rightful homework in his Word, but have instead followed the winsome, high sounding words of deceivers?

The days of superficial Christians and Christianity are drawing down to a day of calamity for the apostate nation and its "Christians". It is long overdue time for all real Christians to get seriously busy with God and his Word of truth, and to go deeper in with God than they have currently done. Modern Christians want God to be on their side, and presume that He is, but how can they be on his side when they believe far more in antichrist than they do in Christ? Thus they become disturbed and fearful when some other power threatens their strange beliefs. Will they ever decide that they need to get down to real business with God, or do they just feel that they are far too occupied with other things that they consider more desirable and important?

The command of Christ has never been for Christians to take upon themselves the goals and the agenda of unbelievers, no matter how high sounding these ideas appear. The command of Christ has been to evangelize this world, or lead people to Himself as Savior and Lord. Nor have Christians ever been commanded to get mired down in other terms of warfare against them. Instead, we are to be instant in season and out of season to give a true witness for Christ and the truth in Christ! We are to be salt and light for Jesus! To engage in other projects, such as book burnings, or the denial of their place of worship, falls far short of our higher calling in Jesus Christ. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is far more capable of winning over the pagans, if only those who call themselves Christians would be faithful and follow its commands. But we have taken a serious deviation today away from it into that forbidden area of supporting unbelievers who reject Him on one side, but who have their own agenda for their salvation, just as they did in Paul's day. The whole key to wisdom and understanding is the full realization that the Christ of God has already come in history, and has finished everything to the fullest satisfaction of God and our human need for salvation, for both Jew and Gentile. Our spiritual void is entirely satisfied in Him. To tamper with this reality in any way is to destroy what He has already accomplished on all of our behalfs.

There simply are no other legitimate agendas connected to God or his will. It behooves us to reckon with this completely without any shadow of turning back to the things of this world and their agenda that is separate from Him. To do what many in the church today have done, to go back to supporting unbelieving Judaism, and some future earthly kingdom under whatever unscriptural pretext, has done great damage to the Gospel of Jesus, and it makes them a supporter and partaker with their antichrist rejection of Jesus. It makes them a supporter and partaker with evil. Their futurizing of much of prophecy that has already been fulfilled in history has led them into the crooked way that they are now embarked on today. Indeed, they have now become the slaves of antichrist unbelievers in the modern state of Israel. They have exchanged the truth for the lie (Ro. 1:25) that Satan gladly uses to destroy the one true faith. Indeed, they have become Satan's minions! They have become entangled now with a forbidden yoke of bondage (Gal. 5:1) with and for unbelievers. And so they are misguided and fearful, because they have strayed far away from the Gospel light. They are indeed not on God's side at all! They are deeply mired down in apostasy. To continue on their current destructive course will bring God's harshest judgment, and America will be lost forever. Their misguided and confused gospel of mixed messages and signals has strengthened the hands of unbelieving men in our government and elsewhere who have gladly sold our once great Christian nation out to unbelievers. We have gone from a once free nation to a slave state that is in bondage to those who reject and hate Christ. Our legacy throughout history will be the most easily duped generation in all of history. For we had the written Word of God readily available to us. We had the great documents of freedom within easy reach. And we let all of them slip away from us as of little or no importance or consequence whatsoever! We had Christian and patriotic voices of warning raised, and we ignored the truth on every side. What a foolish and deluded generation and nation, long overdue and ripe for God's hand of harshest judgment raised against it!

Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it. William Penn.

It is never right to do wrong in order to get a chance to do right. Dr. Bob Jones, Chapel Sayings (CS)

If American democracy is to remain the greatest hope of humanity, it must continue abundantly in the faith of the Bible. Calvin Coolidge.

There is no tragedy as tragic as combining high mentality with low morality. CS. (Dr. Bob Jones)

If our religion is something objective, then we must never avert our eyes from those elements in it which seem puzzling or repellent; for it will be precisely the puzzling or the repellent which conceals what we do not yet know and need to know. C. S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory.

A man is a fool who leans on the arm of flesh when he can be supported by the arm of Omnipotence. CS.

Further Chapel Sayings from Dr. Bob Jones re. right vs. wrong:

The man who sincerely and unselfishly desires to know what's right doesn't have any trouble finding out what's right.
When there is a good, straight road to the right place, why go a roundabout way to get to that place?
The things you do that you ought not to do, you do because you don't do what you ought to do.
What you love and what you hate reveal what you are.
The two biggest little words in the English language are the two little words "do right".
Back of every tragedy in human character, there is a process of wicked thinking.
You can do anything you ought to do.
No doubt the trouble is with you.
Go as far as you can on the right road.
The right road always leads out at the right place.
You can't do wrong and get away with it.

The problem is basically theological and involves a spiritual recrudescence… It must be of the spirit if we are to save the flesh.
Spoken by General Douglas MacArthur @ the surrender of Japan, Sept. 2, 1942.


The Prayer of George Washington:

Almighty God, who has given us this good heritage, we humbly beseech Thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of Thy favor and glad to do thy will.
Bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning, and pure manners.
Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogancy, and from every evil way.
Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought out of many kindreds and tongues.
Endow with the spirit of wisdom those whom in Thy name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be peace and justice at home, and that through obedience to Thy law, we may show forth Thy praise among the nations of the earth.
In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in Thee to fail. Amen.

American Patriotic Insights That Can Help Us to Protect Our Great Constitutional Republic, If We Get to Work

"He who endeavors to control the mind by force is a tyrant, and he who submits is a slave." --Ingersoll.

"Lenin was certainly right, there is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the basis of existing society than to debauch the currency. This process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner not one man in a million is able to diagnose." --John Maynard Keynes (as in Keynesian economics, as in the kind of economics that Pres. Obama believes in today. Be sure to watch Fox News Glenn Beck @ 5 pm weekdays. He can help you to understand these important things better.)

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. The government taxes you to get capitol to go into competition with you and then taxes the profits (if any) on your business in order to pay the losses on the 19,000 (+) government businesses. And you thought they just wanted YOU to pay "your ("fair", my addition) share." --Northern Lights Glimmer. Sept. 1983.

"Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." --Lord Acton.

Cicero said: "The enemy is within the gates; it is with our own luxury, our own folly, our own criminality that we have to contend."

"Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground.
They want rain without thunder and lightening.
They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters.
This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one, or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.
Power concedes nothing without a demand.
It never did, and it never will.
Find out just what people will submit to, and you will have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both.
The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress." –Frederick Douglas; Aug. 4, 1857.

"'Samuel Rutherford…wrote Lex Rex in 1644. Lex Rex means law is King -- a phrase that was absolutely earthshaking.' It needs to give the earth, including churches in America, another good shaking today! 'Prior to that it had been rex lex, the king is law. In Lex Rex he wrote that the law, and no one else, is king. Therefore, the heads of government are under the law, not a law unto themselves.'" --Francis A. Schaffer. A Christian Manifesto. P. 32.

"Let our object be our country, our whole country, and nothing but our country. And, by the blessing of God, may that country itself become a vast and splendid monument, not of oppression and terror, but of wisdom, of peace and liberty, upon which the world may gaze with adoration forever." --Webster. [And let us never forget who is the Author of life and liberty, namely God our Creator and Savior! (my addition).]

A VISITOR FROM THE PAST

I had a dream the other night, I didn't understand.
A figure walking through the mist, with flintlock in his hand.
His clothes were torn and dirty, as he stood there by the bed,
He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low, he said;

"We fought a revolution, to secure our liberty.
We wrote the Constitution, as a shield from tyranny,
For future generations, this legacy we gave,
In this, the land of the free and the home of the brave."

"The freedom we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep,
But tyrants labored endlessly, while your parents were asleep.
Your freedoms gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave,
In this, the land of the free and the home of the brave."

"You buy permits to travel, and permits to own a gun,
Permits to start a business, or to build a place for one.
On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent,
Although you have no voice in choosing how the money's spent."

"Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate.
Your Christian values can't be taught, according to the state.
You read about the current news, in a regulated press.
You pay a tax you do not owe, to please the I.R.S.."

"Your money is no longer made of silver or of gold,
You trade your wealth for paper, so your life can be controlled,
You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God in shame,
You've taken Satan's number, as you've traded in your name."

"You've given government control to those who do you harm,
So they can padlock churches, and steal the family farm,
And keep our country deep in debt, put men of God in jail,
Harass your fellow countrymen, while corrupted courts prevail."

"Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oath they've sworn.
Your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born.
Your leaders ship artillery and guns to foreign shores,
And send your sons to slaughter, fighting other people's wars."

"Can you regain the freedom for which we fought and died?
Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride?
Are there no more values for which you'll fight to save?
Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave?"

"Sons of the republic, arise and take a stand!
Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land!
Preserve our great republic and each God-given right,
And pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright!"

As I awoke he vanished, in the mist from which he came.
His words were true; we are not free. We have ourselves to blame.
For even now as tyrants trample each God-given right,
We only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight.
If he stood by your bedside, in a dream while you're asleep,
And wondered what remains of our rights he fought to keep,
What would be your answer, if he called out from the grave?
Is this still the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave?
--Author Unknown.

Dear Fellow Patriots and Readers,
Please feel free to take any of these materials and use them wherever you like. These eternal truths belong to every one of us, and it's high time that we put all of these valuable things to the best possible use, for the enemies of the Republic are very busy today, indeed, tearing down every God-given right. It should be most obvious, now, and so we must get busy about God's good work of freedom in America. If not, we will soon regret our reckless disregard! Let us all pull together for our beloved Constitutional Republic that our godly Founders gave us!

Welcome to Significant Values.

Hi. I'm so glad you stopped by, and I hope that you will stay awhile and check out all of the important information that is available on this blog. There is much here that will offer you many deeper insights into the great Christian faith, and there is also much here that can show you more about our wonderful Christian heritage in our constitutional system of government. This site will take you into other sites where you will also find a virtually endless supply of important information to help you in the very troubled present day of today where we find ourselves. Just avail yourself of the several pages of information, and you will find much of great value and help for today's challenges. And there will be another post very soon, and more to follow, so be sure to bookmark this page in your addresses. --Anita.

"...that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth." Gettysburgh Address, 1863.
Many Christians today have been listening to preachers with strange doctrines that deliberately lead them away from the preservation of our constitutinal government. They also lead away from the straight and narrow way of Christ.
God also gave us a very precious gift, in America, in our system of self-government that the founders saw in the sacred Scriptures. As Samuel Adams well noted: "The rights of the colonists as Christians...may be best understood by reading and carefully studying the institution of the great Law Giver and Head of the Christian Church, which are to be found clearly written and promulgated in the New Testament." 1772.
Let us quickly apply ourselves to our Christian homework and study to show ourselves approved of God (II Tim. 2:15), for the day is short, and we ought to be about the Lord's business as his good servants and faithful stewards of the many good things that He has given us. God alone knows the time of his return to this earth, but it is our role to watch and work for good, not to promote and encourage evils in any part whatsoever, but to be good soldiers of the cross, pressing onward to victory in Him alone.
"...More than all, a government and a country were to commence, with the very first foundations laid under the divine light of the Christian religion. ...Who would wish that his country's existence had otherwise begun?" "Let us not forget the religious character of our origin." --Daniel Webster, Plymouth, Mass. 1820.
It is my earnest hope and prayer that you will take much of great benefit and profit away with you from this place, and become most richly blessed in the blessed truths so utilized by faithful giants of the faith, in God's grace. Amen.
