Judgment

Sins of the Fathers – The Weekend Shock Letter for June 27th, 2020

We did this to ourselves. What we are experiencing now, and what we will experience in the future is a self-inflicted wound. A deadly, self-inflicted wound. Like the one described in Revelation 13.

Should the Lord delay His Return and another civilization rise and replace our own, future historians will have a host of reasons to choose from. But, just like the fall of every other empire, the ultimate cause will be our own. We were corrupt, and that corruption killed us.

Worse, we sinned against God, and now… God is judging us.

Fear Money Power

How We Got Here, Part 2: The Fear, The Money and The Power

Images coming out of Wuhan in February and March struck fear in the hearts of almost everyone. Bodies lying in the street, packed hospitals and terrified healthcare workers created anxiety and dismay around the world. And then, the virus broke out of China, and the world clamored for someone to ‘do something’.

While governments conferred with ‘experts’, central banks reacted with glee. They finally had something to blame for their failures. But then, there are those ‘experts’.

We handed them power. Lots of it. And, they destroyed us.

And, they will keep destroying us, until we take their power away.

A Perfect Storm – Final Warning or Final Judgment

In our haste to examine the pandemic that sweeps the globe, we have forgotten that we live in the last chapter of history. So, maybe we should think a little more deeply about why this is happening at this moment in time.

Why has this virus arisen at such a vulnerable time?

Why are people and politicians reacting with such insanity?

Why have we forgotten that evil NEVER goes unpunished?

I sense the Hand of God in all of this, but I understand if you don’t agree. However, it is undeniable that there is something unique going on.

We Forgot that God is JUST

One of the most pernicious movements to sweep the church is this idea that God is a kindly old man who wouldn’t hurt a fly and is willing and ready to overlook any and all sin. Along with it came an easy-believism and permission to ‘follow your heart’.

Truth was optional, and the Old Testament didn’t reflect God, anymore.

What we forgot in the process was that God doesn’t change. Ever. We forgot that the sins that made Him angry four thousand years ago, make Him angry today.

We forgot that God is JUST.

2019 – The Difficult Year

At the beginning of January, it is a tradition to try and forecast the events of the coming year. And, I’ve tried to do that, every year, with limited success. Timing is not my strength, as I have demonstrated over the past few years. Having said that, there aren’t many who have done any better. So, I’m in good company.

However, there is one thing that I can predict with a great deal of confidence:

2019 will be difficult.

My fear is that this will be a great understatement. I certainly hope that it will be smooth sailing with perfect sunsets and fields of green. But, don’t bet on it.
