STANDING OUR GROUND

Matt 23:27-28
27 " Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. 28 "So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
NASU
** Submit, submit, submit! I’ve heard this from people throughout my life. The message has always been clear. “Submit to those who are in authority over you.” I agree 100%. We need to submit to their authority by law….. UNLESS…. It tries to over ride God’s law of the Bible. So if my government, who I am submitted to, writes a law that says I can’t preach in the name of Jesus or meet with others on Sunday to worship together, God’s word over rides the law of the world for the bible says “do not forsake the assembling together with the believers,” and “Go into all the world and preach the gospel.” Therefore, whatever the cost I will obey God’s word over man’s law. This word submit has been so missed used for instance the bible says “wives, submit to your husbands.” Now what if the husband tells the wife that he wants to bring a second woman into the home for his pleasure? Is she suppose to “submit” to it and allow it? Of course not! His request for her to submit is in rejection to the word of God. This is where it will get sticky in the days to come. People, so called Christian people will be the fore runners to tell the church that they are suppose to submit to the new laws of accepting homosexuality as from God and that abortion is ok because the “law” says that it is. Who will we obey? The Word of God is very clear on both of these subjects and we MUST obey and submit to God over man. Big can of worms I’ve opened up here huh? We can just go along with the status quo and end up like we did many years ago and had prayer taken out of the schools because we just sat back and submitted to something that was not of God. If you are a true follower of Christ, you will get off of your behind and stand up and speak your voice when the time comes. STAND YOUR GROUND.
