Making America Godly

He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the Lord. – Proverbs 17:15

It was a saying of Solon the Athenian lawgiver, that “a Republic walks upon two feet; one being just punishment for the unworthy, the other due regard for the worthy.  If it fail in either of these, it necessarily goes lame.  How much more if it fail in both?”

Form your opinions of others and of right and wrong, not at the prompting of the world, but as though you are under the watchful eye of God.  Because you are, whether you are a friend of God or not.  The PC (politically correct) crowd constantly tries to force us to obey and treat them as gods as they usurp and twist God’s authority.  Those individuals do not realize how awfully they are provoking God, but they will; we Christians ought to pray that they experience punishment from His hand sooner rather than later so that they might have the opportunity to repent.  In all our most secret judgments of men and things we are accountable to Him.  Don’t let that cripple you in your judgments; however, do let it empower you to always make good and proper judgments/decisions.

The majority of Christians seem to have abjured the duty of conscientiousness, and the abjuration is one of the most fearful symptoms of our time.

To abjure is to formally renounce something.  It is to give up a previously held belief, especially formally or solemnly.  One of the most blatant examples is the “ordination” of “priests” who advocate for ongoing, active homosexuality in the church as a practicing homosexual.  Now I know full well that I have just committed blasphemy with the PC crowd but Heaven is doing a slow clap and saying, “About time you started waking up and declaring truth as it is revealed by God in the Holy Bible.  Don’t stop there, because there is so much more.  Do not be kowtowed by the PC crowd, their ways are not God’s ways and their ways shall not successfully stand when the judgment of God comes upon them.”  Don’t like this?  Dial 1-800 TELL-GOD.  (Actually that is probably a “900” number because someone is going to pay the price for not obeying the Word of God.)

Proverb 12:2, “A good man obtaineth favor of the Lord; but a man of wicked devices He will condemn.”

The second abomination to the Lord according to Proverb 17:15 is “he that condemneth the just.”  We must form our opinions of others as under the watchful eye of God and not according to the world’s constantly changing opinion.  Deviancy has been getting defined downward because of a lack of boldness to stand against the PC crowd.  “All it takes for evil to triumph is for the good to fail to take a stand against it,” Edmund Burke. –or words to that effect-  The duty of estimating others as in the sight of God is not by any means a light one, but a most solemn one.  Unholy and unprincipled and unethical life, wherever found, ought to be protested against by the servants of God.  It is a blessing that unethical Hillary does not currently hold a public office; it is a shame that she ever did.  There is a sad tendency among us to overlook those faults (sins) which fall in line with the practice of the day, which consist in the neglect of unwelcome duties, or the committing of lightly esteemed sins.

Men and women who refuse to acknowledge God’s existence do so, in the final analysis, because it is contrary to their manner of living.  They do not want to bow down to the moral claims of a holy God on their lives. – R. C. Sproul

A Prayer

pastorwardclintonLeave a comment

O Holy God, you were there this morning as I arose to begin a new day and start a new week. I ask that you walk with me on the path you have laid out. Dwell in my most inner being, inspire my thoughts and imaginations and guide in my decisions.

Spirit of God, descend upon my heart,
wean it from earth, through all it pulses move;
stoop to my weakness, mighty as thou art, 
and make me love thee as I ought to love.*

Accompany me this week that I may show love through kindness, sympathy and consideration to those whom paths I cross. Let it begin in my own home as I not withhold the kindness, sympathy and consideration that I give to strangers.

This week as I read, watch television, listen to the radio and surf the internet whether it be for profit or leisure, may what I read or see not lead me away from you, but may it so refresh my mind to more eagerly seek after you with love and kindness.

It is to your care O Father, I commit this week to keep me safe in body, soul and spirit.
*”Spirit of God, Descend upon my Heart” by George Croly, The United Methodist Hymnal, No. 500

Prayer for elections on November 7, 2017

pastorwardclintonLeave a comment

Father God, we pray that in this election, Your children will get out and vote. We pray for spiritual wisdom now for people to see and to know who they should vote for.

We pray that evil will not win in any county, in any state, and in any of the higher offices of the land. I pray that evil is not allowed to even win in the lower offices.  Father, we pray that the truth will come out, and that any candidate in any of these races across the country, that have any ill will gains for their purpose to get into office for any position will not succeed. We pray that only the true, the humble, and the good hearted people will succeed in this election.

Lord, we know that the ones we want to win are all not believers, but pray that one day they will run into Your Son Jesus and have their lives transformed for ever as He did for us. We pray that all of Your children across the globe will in the next few days get on their knees, surrender to You, weep for our country, and repent.

Lord this land is Your land and we ask You to heal our nation. Bring us out of “Egypt”, bring us out of “wilderness” where we have been wandering in circles, and bring us to the “Promise Land”. We pray for the Holy Spirit to go across this nation like the wind and start a revival and a real Great Awakening.  For men and women of God stand up and say “No More!” We will not allow evil to prevail, we will not sit back and let our brothers and sisters be persecuted, we will not let our babies be killed in the womb, and we will not turn our cities and country into Sodom and Gomorrah.
Father, thank You for giving us a voice. Thank You for giving us the right to vote. Thank You for all of those who have died for our freedoms and voting privileges. We all come together as God’s children, the chosen saints, to declare this election and this day. “Chose today for yourselves, whom you will serve, For me and my household, we will serve the Lord” We collectively pray this in Your Son’s Precious and Holy Name, The Name above all names, the King of kings, The Lord of lords, the President of presidents, the Senator of senators, the Congressman of congressmen, the Representative of representatives, The Judge of judges, the Supreme Court Justice of justices, the Governor of governors, the Mayor of mayors, the Councilman of councilmen, the Attorney General of attorney generals, our Teacher, the Lover of our souls, The Christ – Jesus The Christ, Amen! Hallelujah

Soli Deo Gloria – Glory to God Alone!

Waiting on God

USA Adds 261,000 Jobs in Oct ’17

pastorwardclinton1 Comment

Therefore job creation streak continues.  Bureau of Labor Statistics reports unemployment rate drops to 4.1%  Although the BLS had claimed the job creation streak was broken last month, they had to revise their report with higher job numbers than previously reported.

Some analysts are whining that it could have been better, most likely because of their bias against Trump.  BLS said “Job gains also occurred in professional & business services, manufacturing, and health care.”

Trump is Making America Great Again in spite of all the lefties efforts to discourage and dishearten the America people.

God Bless America, her President and us.

Heavenly Father, Thank you….Thank you for being you! Thank you for hearing our prayers and answering them all…well as long as they are according to your will… or with your permission. You are totally amazing.
I have to smile…I think of the 2nd Psalm and I am sure you are laughing over those who are fighting so hard to maintain the status quo.  LOL, Lord… We see your chosen one, President Trump working hard, having so very many even in his own party fighting him, and you just keep empowering him to complete your work in our nation and on earth. You are restoring religious liberty.  You are revealing truth, and bringing those who have held so much power that no one would stand against them, but now they are falling.  You battle the media, who just can’t tell the truth, or report on anything that brings glory to you, or that will even show the good side of President Trump.  Father, we watch…We see… Thank you!
