Victory

On Monday I went to a rally at the GA state capitol in support of the family of Jackson Bortz. He was snatched from him parents by DFACS, and even though his parents have been cleared by a judge from all charges of abuse, they refuse to return him. Please read the website www.savejacksonbortz.com

Every parent in GA should be concerned, yet there were barely 30 people there at a time. And that was to represent 7 different children snatched by DFACS. It is shameful. I don't say this in a self-righteous way, since I have never been to such an event before, and was only moved to go by the sermon I heard the Sunday before. However, I must say that the church needs to be standing against evil instead of living in a bunker of isolation, waiting for the world to end.

Brothers and sisters, God is not going to snatch us out of this evil world. He is expanding his kingdom until "the knowledge of the Lord covers the earth as the waters cover the sea", until the nations of the world flock to the church to learn how to govern, until he comes again in glorious victory.

Sometimes we think the world is getting worse and worse, less and less Christian, but that is only because we are arrogant. The U.S. is getting less and less Christian, but other parts of the world (China, for instance) have great increases in the church. If we won't serve God and the advance of His kingdom, he will use others (even the rocks, if necessary) to serve His purposes. We must stand against evil, because God calls us to, and because, if we don't, we are putting our children in danger. Our children will have to live in the world, so let's make it a better one for them to live in.
