Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “Isaiah 13:11
“I will punish the world for its evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; I will put an end to the pomp of the arrogant and lay low the pompous pride of the ruthless.” (Isaiah 13:11)
Are you aware that, according to one politician, the world is going to end in 12 years? Do you understand, according to the political class, that “Climate Change” is the greatest issue facing mankind? Think about it… when I was a student, many years ago, we were presented with “Global Cooling,” then, to accommodate the changing “science,” we were told that “Global Warming,” was the greatest threat to mankind. Interestingly, this was during the height of the “Cold War,” with nuclear annihilation as a possibility! Wow! The doom and gloom predictions did not happen, so, in order, to be a bit more accurate, we now have the term, “Climate Change!” Why am I bringing this up today? The “anti-God” arrogant individuals, who have the idea that they, that is, man can alter the plan of God and affect His creation, is laughable! Arrogance abounds in the realm of humanistic thoughts and beliefs. Hear this! The greatest threat to mankind is not “Climate Change,” it is the arrogance and ignorance of God’s Love and Purpose for Mankind! SIN is the greatest threat, to the survival of the Human Race! Our scripture for today, speaks clearly about the arrogance and the results of such! “I will punish the world for its evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; I will put an end to the pomp of the arrogant and lay low the pompous pride of the ruthless.” The World can arrogantly predict Doom and Gloom, and the World can present “Facts,” created by Godless men and women, with the sole purpose to promote the desires of Satan, however, I will continue to “Cling” to the TRUTH and continue to reject the arrogance and ignorance of this Evil and Satanic society and I will continue to serve my God, regardless of the challenges ahead! Last Point: How can anyone believe that humans can change one single thing of God’s creation? I have confidence in the promises of God, and I am excited about the future. Isaiah 45:18 says, “For thus says the Lord, who created the heavens (He is the God who formed the earth and made it, He established it and did not create it a waste place, but formed it to be inhabited), ‘I am the Lord, and there is none else.’” Stay Strong, Stay Focused…THE BEST, REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE WORLD PROCLAIMS, IS YET TO BE!
