Workers of Iniquity
The phrase “workers of iniquity” really gives the sense of those people who have abandoned all righteousness and dedicated themselves to all things evil. These are not the people who sin from time to time (or the average sinner), but people who have deliberately chosen sinful ways as a lifestyle and revel in it. The Psalmist is describing people who have literally given themselves over to evil, to partner with evil, to allow themselves to be a conduit for all manner of evil thoughts, words, and deeds.
Recipe for a Virus?
This is ultimately what globalists have planned for the entire world. Obviously, it takes a while to bring the entire world under their thumb but this man-made virus has really made inroads. For well over a year, most of the world was shutdown, businesses went bankrupt, people got depressed and suicidal, with many ultimately killing themselves because of it. This has all been the result of globalists who have done the bidding of their god, Satan (Lucifer).
Should Christians Be Preppers?
We live on several acres in the country. There are a ton of trees in our county that are very old. Limbs often simply fall to the ground, sometimes taking out electric wires. When that happens, electricity goes out. We knew of this possibility when we moved in so we had a plan that included buying a decent sized generator and installing a transfer plug so that when it happened, we could be back up and running in mere moments.
Discerning the Times: Just Say Nothing
In other words, Job was admitting that it was best if he said absolutely nothing except to clarify his own position before God Almighty. Does this not take your breath away? Do you not see yourself doing the same thing?
Three Men and God
Everything we fear actually becomes the very thing we worship, because we are giving precedence and importance to that thing or person, whether or not we are willing to admit that. We must work to actively fear the LORD and by doing so, will push out everything else that vies for our attention and adoration.
Discerning the Times: Nehemiah, The Chosen and CV-19
I tell you this so that your main focus will be the cultivation of the fear of the LORD. As a result, whether you find you have immense empathy for people and a desire to help them or you react toward sin the way Nehemiah did, we should always realize that without fear of the LORD, these things are often done from our flesh.
Teach me Your way, O LORD; I will walk in Your truth; Unite my heart to fear Your name. (Psalm 86:11 NKJV)
Whom or What Do You Fear?
Nehemiah moved ahead with the king’s permission in spite of the terrorist threats from his enemies he encountered. In fact, not only did Nehemiah not give into his enemies, but what is interesting is how he stationed some men as guards and soldiers who carried spears and arrows in case of an attack by their enemies. The men who were directly working on the wall had a trowel in one hand and a sword in the other, also prepared to immediately be able to defend themselves in case of attack.
Nehemiah’s Fear-Based Anger
Nehemiah’s first reaction is one of righteous anger and he remonstrated against those Jews who had created such heavy financial burdens for their Jewish brethren. But what he said next is the main reason for his anger.
Discerning the Times: Equipping Saints and UFOs
Only as Christians are taught doctrine, theology and all aspects of Scripture, will they be in a far better position to go into the world when they leave church and be ready to provide an answer to anyone who asks about the hope that we have in Christ. We should do this with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15). In that verse, Peter also tells us to “sanctify” our hearts, meaning we should actively and continually separate our hearts to God, ridding ourselves of the things in this world that compete for God’s attention. This must be taught and lived by each Christian in order that they might become better evangelists. Obviously Christians have a responsibility to study the Bible on their own as well.
Discerning the Times: Easy to Fail
How many times have I not seen that key in Scripture; the “fear of the LORD”? Here it is again. Fear the LORD. Could it be any plainer? We know that children often love their parents and are loved by those parents. However, there is an element of fear in that relationship that often works to keep children from being rebellious or recalcitrant. As I’ve noted before, it is a fear based on a bit of self-preservation for not wanting to come under a parent’s disciplinary action. As children grow into adults, this often refines itself so that adult children fear causing their parents grief or sadness.
