Christian, It's Time to Surrender

As our nation continues to move toward the desires of the un-godly, it's time to surrender.

While same-sex marriage is being celebrated throughout our land, it's time to surrender.

As the government desires to place our mothers, daughters, and wives on the battle lines of physical combat to protect our country from the hostile forces of the enemy, it's time to surrender.

While society embraces the right to murder defenseless children while they are in the protection of the mothers womb, it's time to surrender.

As the administration of this government continues to create ways to place financial burdens on select groups of American citizens while exempting others, it's time to surrender.

While the leadership of this country, with their feet firmly planted in mid air, tear away at the moral fabric of our nation giving hearty approval to wickedness, corruption, and all forms of evil, it's time to surrender.

Yes Christian, its time to surrender!
However, this surrender needs no white flag nor does it require retreat. This surrender in not a surrender to the foolishness of mans ideals or traditions.

This is a surrender to the absolute truth of scripture, God's Word.
This surrender calls for us to "BE STRONG in The Lord and in the strength of HIS might" (Ephesians 6:10)
This surrender calls for us to "Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to STAND FIRM against the schemes of the devil. Put(ting) on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to STAND FIRM. STAND FIRM therefore, having girded your loins with (God's) TRUTH, and having put on the breastplate of (His) RIGHTEOUSNESS, and having shod your feet with the preparation of (His) GOSPEL OF PEACE; in addition to all, taking up the shield of FAITH with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. And take the helmet of SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the WORD OF GOD. (Ephesians 6:11-17)

Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death. (James 1:13-15)

We regularly hear about the attributes of God's love, mercy, and forgiveness but rarely acknowledge His justice or wrath.
God's Word is not a buffet of beliefs that we can pick and choose from while taking a pass on what we don't like.

The battle lines are being drawn everyday by godless men and women who suppress the truth of God in unrighteousness, and we will continue to lose these battles until we first SURRENDER our lives, not to the will of man but to the will of God, our Creator.
