The Hand of God can
be seen in the beautiful, and the Hand of God can be seen in the
ugly. There is nothing so great as to witness God's acts in
redemption and glorious expression of mercy and grace. But God
also acts in judgment, and His hand can be seen in confusion of
face and even in judgments of death. When men, women,
organizations and governments keep the commands of universal
laws and moral codes of conduct, there will be blessings and
prosperity. When men and women violate those same universal laws
and moral codes, they automatically begin to break themselves
and their institution apart and confusion grows day by day;
sometimes year by year, until a harvest of destruction descends.
Liberal
organizations, such as the liberal media and liberal
politicians, are showing the clear signs of judgment all across
America. It is evident that they have flipped and have crossed
the line where destruction is demanded. I believe we are
witnesses to the end of many of the liberal entities that have
had so much evil impact upon this nation and the world. The God
of this universe is not an absent creator. "For the earth is the
Lord's, and the fulness thereof." (I Corinthians 10:26) Many
cultures have risen and fallen during this earth's history. That
fact demands that this present world pay the same price of
blessings or judgment according to how we obey His laws and how
we trash them.
Look at the business
world and the rich stockbrokers. They thought they could follow
the lead of a sleazy President and conduct business like he
conducted his Presidency, and many have suffered shame and
disgrace. President Bill Clinton has not yet paid the full price
for his flaunting of decency and the lies that characterize his
lifestyle, but the clock of God's judgment is ticking. God spoke
to my heart early in his presidency that no man would judge Mr.
Clinton, and all of man's efforts to bring him to judgment would
fail because He (God Himself) was preserving him for His own
accounting and judicial process. He would have been far better
off for man to have succeeded than to be reserved for God's
action. Just watch God's clock, my friends.
It's very close at
hand. I watched Governor Howard Dean take on President George W.
Bush like a madman. Day after day he attacked until suddenly his
fortunes turned on his head. The same thing is now happening to
Vice President Al Gore. He joined Governor Dean at the peak of
his claim on the Democrat nomination. Now Mr. Gore has flipped.
Understand, dear friends, that the losing of their cools and
their acting like screaming idiots is not an accident. It is the
"confusion of face" that follows the judgments of our Great God
of Holiness and justice.
The mad world of
entertainment and Hollywood is presently on a free fall. They
have snubbed their noses at everything decent about morality and
conservative values. The madness of today's music and the
vulgarity of their conduct on stage is coming home to haunt
them. God's infallible book says "Flee fornication. Every sin
that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth
fornication sinneth against his own body. (I Corinthians 6:18)
Any sexual sin - whether it is lust, fornication, adultery,
sodomy or sexual innuendos is fornication in the Biblical
meaning. Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, and many other
entertainers are beginning to pay the price. Their fortunes may
yet rise and fall, but shortly the hand of God will be manifest,
and He will act. There is no such thing as a free ride in the
moral realm.
We are watching an
American institution called the Democratic Party literally
selfdestruct. They have championed the killing of unborn
children until blood drips from their fingers. The blood of
every child ripped from its safe place in the mother's womb is
screaming out, and God is listening. This party has fought to
keep every decent judge from occupying the bench in our Halls of
Justice. You must believe that our God sees this butchering of
our laws of morality and decency. The sacred institution of
marriage between one man and one woman has become their present
line of attack. They are not fighting with you and me; they are
fighting with God. All I can say to the Massachusetts Supreme
Court, Senator John Kerry, and Senator Ted Kennedy, all of
Massachusetts, "fight on, go ahead, fight with God, but I know
who is going to win."
The conservatives of
America are not lily-white themselves. All of what I'm writing
is a wake-up call. The Republican Party has their liberals.
President Bush has been put in office by the "Divine Choice" of
our Creator. I pray that he, too, will heed the fact that not
one of us has a monopoly of purity. The same God that will judge
Bill Clinton will also judge anyone that forgets that "He rules
in the affairs of men." America is hanging in the balance and
our only hope is to return to morality, justice, honesty, and
humility and the fear of our Great God. His Name only is found
in the Holy Bible, and He will not be named with the crude gods
of human invention.
