WATCHERS ON THE WALL

One of my favorite political commentators always reminds his viewers that,"Cutesy Time Is Over." I couldn't agree more. Believers are called to be Watchmen in order to sound the alarm when enemies approach our gates. At this point, our adversary  Satan, and his sinful ideologies, have surrounded the fortified city we call planet earth.  Unfortunately, many of God's Watchmen have abandoned their post for fear of offending someone. This is not the time to sugarcoat the Word of God. Sinful beliefs are running rampant in our halls of justice, our government policies, the entertainment industry and even our churches.  Calling sin what it is, rebellion against God and His commandments, is not 'hate speech.' Intimidation tactics should not bully us into silence and compromise...It should empower us to speak against the growing evil causing many to fall away from the faith we have long held as our standard in America. 

If sin is not such a big deal...why did Jesus have to die such a horrible death to pay the price for our rebellion? As Watchmen we have to stop calling evil good and good evil to appease the gods of this age. We have all sinned and fall short of God's glory. That's why we must admonish the unbelievers and backsliders to repent now, before its too late. Each one of us has a circle of influence. Our homes, our workplaces and social media are in dire need of Watchmen who will speak the truth and lead the lost to safety. God is waiting for sinners to have a sincere desire to turn from their rebellious ways and turn back to him.  If the Watchmen don't tell them who will? Repent and be saved.

"If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just and will forgive us our sin and purify us from all unrighteousness."( 1 John 1:9)

"If you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:9)
