This World is Passing Away

If this world is not my home, I am here to learn and to bring the gospel, then I will not be overly concerned about what governments are doing. Or what the ungodly value.

As a believer my focus is that Christians grow in holiness and those that are lost become saved.

Other than that, I realize that God is the one who rises up governments and takes them down for His own purposes.

Romans 13:1-2 "1 Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which is from God. The authorities that exist have been appointed by God. 2 Consequently, the one who resists authority is opposing what God has set in place, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.…"

We never disobey God to obey an authority over us. When the authority over us is not telling us to dishonor God, then we are to obey them.

If a government commanded me to kill my baby, I would have to disobey that, but if the government commands me to remove a statue, then I will comply.

I understand the mentality behind the rioting factions, total rebellion against anything conservatives held dear. Those who are rebellious often "throw the baby out with the bath water" and commonly overreact to simple and unimportant things. However, what should be our response to those who have tantrums over nothing?

My response to an adult having a tantrum is to ignore them, let them have what they want and allow the ungodly to come against them. God is using ungodly conservatives to come against ungodly liberals, the two factions are "taking it to the streets" and all that results is civil war, worse anger ensuing and nothing resolved. The one who fights the hardest wins, but what did it accomplish? All it did was to make for more tantrums, more wars and deeper resentment.

We are about the gospel as believers, we don't put up statues nor do we tear them down. Our entire focus ought to be the gospel, lost souls and spiritual purity for the believer.

It is my belief that America is under judgment, but so is every other country of the world. The world is under judgment. Christ is very patient, He destroyed the world once, He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah and He will destroy the world once again during the tribulation.

2 Peter 3:10 "10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up."

Those statues in the square that some people go to observe and work up happy feelings about, will be destroyed by Christ along with everything and everyone else that and who do not honor Him.
