Will We Ben and Bow?
Text: Daniel chapter 3
D.L. Moody once said, “Most people talk cream but live skim milk.”
Jesus said. ” This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honored me with lips; but their heart is far from me.”Matthew 15:8
In this chapter we will see three brave, Godly teenagers who dared to be different, and they made a difference for God!
There comes a time in history, where God’s people will have to make a choice to be separated from the world.
In Daniel chapter 3 verse 8-25 we see the demand to accept the world’s attitude of sin or be margailized.The young men Shadrach,Meshach and Abendgo refused to worship the golden image.
What are the Golden Images facing America? Humanism, abortion, homosexuality, same sex marriage, adulteries, sex, drugs ,greed, money, love, socialism, sports, beauty and the “me first” attitude.
Here is what the scriptures states in 2 Tim 3:1-9
“This we know also in the last days perilious time shall come,
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankfulness, and unholiness,
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
Traitors, heady minded, lovers of pleasures, more than lovers of God.
Having a form of Godliness but denying the power thereof: from such turn away…”
I believe we live in perilous times. We have seen so many attacks on Christianity and on family values. This week, with the same sex issue, ministers on the T.V programs like the “The Factor,” has taken different sides and even some Americans.
Dear friends, hold the line, stand fast, live a separated life like these three men. We as born again Christians must say no! It’s wrong, even if we are ridiculed. We have got to be different for Christ no matter at what cost! God will protect and reward us!
Love in Christ;
Eddie
