I’ve been in Atlanta for several days meeting with various people in an effort to find funding for the Jesus Alliance. It is an uphill battle, but we are determined to continue the fight. I want to thank those of you who have supported the Jesus Alliance. I try to write personalized responses where possible, but I’m understaffed and overwhelmed and my response is generally delayed.
It is amazing that the progressive left’s only problem seems to be where to spend the massive amounts of money donated to their causes. Billions of dollars are poured into Planned Parenthood and LGBT organizations and the results are telling the tale. It is as though they are running unopposed in an election.
So, I suppose we should not be surprised when we see that states are passing laws allowing children to be executed AFTER birth now. Over 60 million have been aborted and the number is increasing daily. George Soros the billionaire who has been referred to as the world’s most evil man has endowed his Free Society Foundation with some $20 billion dollars has contributed heavily to these and other causes and he has been joined by thousands of deep pocketed donors.
The most distressing thing to me is that children are being brainwashed beginning in kindergarten. It continues through high school and the college level. Atheists and others who oppose Christian worldviews are the folks educating our children and grandchildren with their twisted immoral godless opinions.
It is not that we don’t know how to get the truth out there, the problem is that we cannot do it without funding. If they say, “There is no God.” We want to be right there saying, “Oh but there is, and He loves you!” Unfortunately, it takes money to do it and for some strange reason Satan has control.
As I pondered this today, I thought of Jesus being tempted in the desert. Satan came to Him and took Him in spirit to the top of a high mountain and showed Him all of the glory and riches of the world. He offered it ALL to Jesus in exchange for Him to bow down and worship him. Jesus of course told Him no and so should we. Unfortunately, this passage makes it clear that Satan controls this world including the vast majority of the wealth.
Too many have bowed down to Satan to satisfy their quest for the materialistic lusts of this generation.
The problem is that all that wealth that people are trying to accumulate and hang onto for dear life will be gone as soon as we shut their eyes for the last time. Then when we face eternity the only thing that will matter is, Was I a Soldier of the Cross or did I bow to Satan for my temporal treasure?
1 John 2:16
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
