Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” (1 Peter 5:8)
This world is becoming, rapidly, a contradiction in terms of right and wrong! I attempt to teach and preach the powerful and dynamic Love of God and His Word; however, I must take this moment to alert fellow believers to the insane and “Evil” motivated actions and motives of this Satanic Driven World! Are you ready? The Mars Corporation, the makers of the M&M candy, has announced that they are going to change the candy to “Create a world where everyone feels that they belong, and that society is inclusive!” Candy is now going to be a tool for social change! School Boards, across our nation, are challenging the rights of parents to dictate and control the education of their children. When a parent questions the legitimate concerns of a “Woke” education, the parents are being labeled as “terrorists,” by some individuals and government officials! Biological men, in transition, are competing against women, and this is supposed to be acceptable. The changing of our language to reflect a “more inclusive” method of communication. I was exploring the possibility of purchasing additional life insurance, and I looked at the application, and where the line for gender was, it read, “Gender at Birth!” Those who repeat lies and expect these untruths to become real and truthful. The reality of “After School Satan Clubs” that target children ages 6 to 11, are showing up in elementary schools. Academia seems to be onboard with the systemic destruction of common sense (at least, that is my opinion). Lies (that are known as lies) are being told, as if they are the truth. Keep this in mind: God does not care about your politics or your opinions! He is concerned about your commitment and your dedication to serving Him. These things, crazy as they seem, are occurring, and more, and we cannot change any of it, yet we are to serve God, remain faithful and never allow the insane evil to alter our commitments or our thoughts! Satan is having a "Field Day” in 2022! Keep this in mind: When there are no standards or an acceptable moral code to live by, then anything and everything becomes acceptable! As Believers, we are called to “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” Satan is after us…be aware of the evil, avoid the evil, armor up, pray up, stand up, in the face of the evil that is present, and that which is to come! Stay Strong, Stay Focused…THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
