Exodus 32:26 then Moses stood in the gate of the camp and said, “Who is on the LORD’s side? Come to me.” And all the sons of Levi gathered around him.
Matthew 12:30 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.
Who is on the Lord’s side? let him come unto me—The zeal and courage of Moses was astonishing, considering he opposed an intoxicated mob. The people were separated into two divisions, and those who were the boldest and most obstinate in vindicating their idolatry were put to death, while the rest, who withdrew in shame or sorrow, were spared. (Brown)
Being on the LORD’s side requires decision, action, and separation. (Guzik)
How many times a day do we choose sides? How much are we influenced by those around us or by what is spewed and vomited out in the news or social media outlets? Being influenced by those who do not fear God or revere His name can never be good for our souls. They make speak or write words with great compassion and eloquence to make their position and stance seem right. Yet, in all their words nothing God-honoring or God-glorifying is proclaimed.
I am amazed at how many people are influenced by what is on the news. When they speak they are nothing more than a repeating voice for the thoughts of those who give no thought to God. How much time is wasted upon the thoughts of those who deny God? Surly evil is present and filling the hearts and minds of many.
To think killing babies is a right and granted by the Constitution is nothing but pure evil having its way in the minds of those given to it. Thinking LGBQT lifestyles are in line with God’s Word and somehow approved by Him is pure evil. To think pornography is adult entertainment is ok and not damaging the soul can not be further from the truth. Evil is very present and all the more as we see the Return of Jesus Christ approaching.
I do know this; when God’s Word is not in your life everyday, then something else is, and for sure, it is not honoring or glorifying to Jesus Christ.
