Trying to Make it Work
A person might not think that they worship idols, but an addiction can be a sign of it.

The Regressives
The progressive movement in our day is deceptively named. They are merely going back to the things that America escaped once already. This is Daily Bible Radio for January 7, 2021.

Taken Away from Evil
When saints die, it isn't the same as when the wicked die. Today we look at Isaiah 57:1-2.

Blind Watchmen
Isaiah 56:9-12:
All you animals of the field,
come to devour,
all you animals in the forest.
His watchmen are blind.
They are all without knowledge.
They are all mute dogs.
They can’t bark—
dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.
Yes, the dogs are greedy.
They can never have enough.
They are shepherds who can’t understand.
They have all turned to their own way,
each one to his gain, from every quarter.
“Come,” they say, “I will get wine,
and we will fill ourselves with strong drink;
and tomorrow will be as today,
great beyond measure.”
As I look at politics, I often get discouraged and angry. There are so many blatant injustices that are happening to the poor and to Christians. There are leaders who are not only idle, they are participating in the injustice. I admit that sometimes I forget passages like this. I start to think that God needs to be informed about the injustices that I see.
The fact of the matter is that God is much more upset about poor leadership than I am. This is just one of the passages where God literally mocks the leadership. Here He calls them blind watchmen, mute dogs and sleep loving dreamers. He accuses them of doing things their own way and that they are only in it for themselves. They go on as if things will only get better.
The truth is that things are about to become much, much worse for them. There is no way that you can make God angry like this and get away with it. What I must learn to do is to believe these words and then get out of God's way. We can actually become a problem if we start to take vengeance ourselves. What I have found is that I can barely handle my own sin, let alone the sins of all of these politicians. I need God to help me stay on the path on a moment-by-moment basis. I don't have time or strength to fight those who have wronged me. God is doing a fine job Himself, but there's a very serious issue that I have to deal with.
As I have said before, we are also leaders in our government. If we ignore evil and don't vote or refuse to participate in the leadership that God has called us to perform, are we not acting as blind watchmen? Are we not mute dogs? It's a pretty serious thing to avoid our responsibility to lead. May God forgive us and help us to do what we should be doing to stop evil in this world.

The New World Order - DBR
A new world order is coming but it's not the one our governments are proposing. God has long predicted it in the Bible. Someday Jesus will rule the world and things are going to be much different.

Fearing the Wrong Things
What we fear can tell us quite a bit about our relationship with God. Perhaps that's one reason why God allows us to be in situations that make us afraid.

The Children of Promise
God's promise is separate from our own ideas. When we try to figure it out ourselves, we can actually create a whole new problem for ourselves.

It Was All Predicted
What happened to Jesus was actually predicted long before it happened. This is one of the places in the Bible where it was.

We Considered Him Plagued
It's easy for us to separate ourselves from innocent people who are suffering as if they did something to deserve it. If we do this, we show that we have a very serious problem. Thankfully, Jesus suffered for us so that we could be forgiven for things like this.

Who Has Believed Our Message?
When Jesus was born, he was probably born into an average family with not a whole lot of money. He didn't really look like God on the outside. The Bible makes it clear that this was intentional.

God's Wise Servant
I believe that this is a place in the Bible where it predicted what we would do. The reason we celebrate Christmas is because "God's servant dealt wisely with us" by coming down to earth as a baby, living like we do, and then took away our biggest problem: The sin that separated us from God.

God's Property
Slavery is a bigger subject in the Bible than we typically consider today. What if we change the wording and call it "full time employment with a pension"?. God's kind of slavery isn't slave trading or human trafficking. Quite the opposite.

Have You Forgotten Your Maker?
I think that it is pretty disappointing to God when we forget who He is. When I talk about this, it really hit me that I need to do what I am telling other to do. Are we really trusting in God? If so, why are we so worried about these people who are threatening us?
This is an important reminder to me that God has promised to not only take care of us, but that He is using everything that happens, to bring about His goals. He is in the long process of making the whole world good again.
