Romans 10:17, “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
The problem in America is not the
presence of evil; but rather, the absence of righteousness. That's why Walt
Disney and other Godless television producers are attacking the Bible so
much and trying to portray Jesus as a mere mortal man. If Satan can shake
people's faith in the Bible, then they'll fall for anything. Satan started
out deceiving Eve by shaking her faith in the Word of God... “HATH GOD
SAID?” (Genesis 3:1-5). Evolution doesn't have a leg to stand upon when
the light of God's Word is shined upon it.
The worst part about public schools isn't what they teach; but rather, what they DON'T teach. Teaching sex-education removes innocence from children's minds, forcing them to grow up too quickly. But that's not the most dangerous thing. It's the absence of Biblical teachings on morality, remaining pure until marriage and virtue that are the most deadly to youth. Once armed with the inspired Words of God, a youth is spiritually invincible, because the Bible is invincible. A teenager who has been taught the Bible is a deadly weapon in the Lord's arsenal. 2nd Timothy 3:15, “And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.”
The big threat is not the blatant and bogus lies of evolution; but rather, the holding back of the teachings of the Bible. Exposing falsehoods, lies and frauds is not one-tenth as important as the PREACHING OF THE TRUTH!!! Please don't misunderstand, exposing heresies and false teachers is important; but preaching THE TRUTH is of paramount importance. The best thing that we can do to help others find the Lord is to share the teachings of the Bible with them. This is why everything that we say, teach and do ought to be grounded and centered in the inspired Words of God, which has been faithfully preserved in our beloved KING JAMES BIBLE!!!
The problem in children's lives is not the teaching of evolution; but rather, the absence of the Word of God. Romans 10:17 doesn't say that faith is robbed by teaching evolution; but rather, “faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.” So if you teach a child the Word of God, then they'll recognize evolution quickly as a lie of the Devil. If you present both sides of the argument to children, they will see the truth in God's Word. I'm not saying that we should teach lies to children and let them choose. If I had my way, evolution teachers would be arrested and put on trial for fraud. Anyone with half-a-brain knows that evolution is insanely impossible! I'm saying that if we teach the Bible to children, then they will at least know THE TRUTH! Public schools HIDE the truth, which is why the Godless U.S. Supreme Court banned the Bible in 1963 from America's classrooms.
I recently saw a TV commercial which advertised spiritual help. Their satanic website is at “spiritualexperience.org” and the phone number is 1-888-LOVEGOD. They don't love God. They love money! Beware of anyone who speaks of spiritual matters who doesn't include the Word of God. The most dangerous thing that anyone can do is to base spiritual guidance upon personal feelings and emotions; instead of basing their beliefs upon the rock-solid, black-and-white, teachings of the written Words of God in the Bible. “Jesus loves me this I know 'for the Bible' tells me so.” Notice that the children's song doesn't say that Jesus loves us because we “feel it” or “think it.” No, rather, we know that the precious Lord loves us because we read so in Scriptures such as John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” And also we read in 1st John 3:16, “Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.” God loves mankind, evidenced by God's gift of Jesus Christ, Who died for our sins.
Our problems in America are caused by the absence of our faith in God. America's insatiable lust for sexual immorality is caused by the absence of personal character, discipline and moral integrity. The reason why people lie is because they don't tell the truth, that is, it's the absence of a truthful spirit that causes them to lie on impulse. Hence, the best way to overcome any sin or fault is to seek to instill the missing positive qualities. If a man has a perverted thought life, it is because his mind is void of clean thoughts. The best way not to lust is to think pure. Job sets an example for us to follow. Job 31:1, “I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?” Job purposed in his heart that he would not lust and have a filthy mind. In other words, the first step to stop living wrong is to firmly decide that you are going to live right. 2ndCorinthians 10:5, “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.”
Problems escalate. Sin escalates. The Bible teaches that a small leak turns into a big leak if not repaired. Proverbs 17:14, “The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.” A dam can easily be fixed if a small leaks starts, but if allowed to become much worse, it will be impossible to fix when the damn breaks away. Sin is the same. If sin is allowed to go unchecked, it will become much worse. Abortion has been legal since 1973, quietly ignored by the mainstream media. It appears that they're getting away with murder, and they are for the moment; but their day of reckoning is coming. God always holds people accountable for their sins.
The most important thing in any marriage is not the absence of unfaithfulness; but rather, the presence of faithfulness and love. Love will prevent unfaithfulness. The goal shouldn't be to remain faithful as much as to love one's spouse at all times, under all circumstances, 'til death do us part. If you love your spouse and have made a personal commitment to remain loyal and faithful, you'll come a lot closer than if you merely try to avoid being unfaithful. What I'm saying is, don't focus on not stealing; but rather, focus on being an honest person. Don't focus on trying to remember to pray and read the Bible; but rather, focus on pleasing God because you love Him. Being a good Christian is not the absence of sin in your life; but rather, the presence of faith in the Lord.
If we could remove the malicious lies of evolution from children's lives, it wouldn't make a hill-of-beans difference spiritually unless they are read the eternal, life-changing, living, Words of God. That's why the government of the state of Texas went after Brother Lester Roloff, that is, because he was indoctrinating youth with the Words of God very effectively. The Devil knows that a ministry like Brother Roloff's could bring America back to God single-handedly if allowed to go unchallenged. They shut him down! Satan won that individual battle; but the victory will be the Lords!!! Mark 9:42, “And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.” Amen and amen!
Again, please don't misunderstand, I'm not saying that we shouldn't recognize the threat of evil. I'm simply pointing out that the presence of the eternal, never-changing, inspired, holy and preserved Words of God is most important. The biggest threat facing churches today is not Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) or pants on women; but rather, it is the onslaught of false Bibles which Satan has tampered with to confuse everyone. We should take a Biblical stand against all these evils creeping into the churches, but Doctrine Is Most Important!
