The World on Fire? What are the why's and how can we put the fire out? Can we through Christ be the firmen to put it out?


Why is the World on Fire?

 
 

God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness -     Romans chapter 1:

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality,[a] wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving,[b] unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

 

  What leads the world, our country to be on fire? Why is our country in a moral, economic, spiritual and physical mess? Why are we confused what to do with terrorism?  Why are Syria, Israel and the Middle East a mess?

 1.  I think it’s because the world, which includes the USA, has refused to acknowledge God and God’s Word as truth!

    A.  The world knew God verses 18-20 through their conscience and creation.

    B. The world glorified Him not   verses 21-23

    C. The world changed the truth verses 23-25

    D. The world has rejected the knowledge of God verses 26-32

     Dear Friends, the simple solution to the world  being on fire, to this world’s chaos, is to return back to the Lord thy God! To return back to His Word! To repent and trust Jesus as our Savior and Lord!! Oh friends I know this is simple thinking, but it is true! God loves you very much, that he sent his Son Jesus to die on the cross and to rise from the dead so that we can experience eternal life and peace! God wants us to be happy!

   I plead for you to come to Jesus today!  Say with me this simple prayer, “Dear Lord Jesus please forgive me of my sins, and come into my heart today!” He will come in and change your life!

 

Love,

Eddie
