The Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail. (Deuteronomy 28:13)
Commenting on this verse, Charles Spurgeon, the beloved preacher and devotional writer, wrote these convicting words in his little book, “Cheque Book of the Bank of Faith,”: “If we obey the Lord, He will compel our adversaries to see that His blessing rests upon us. Though this be a promise of the law, yet it stands good to the people of God; for Jesus has removed the curse, but He has established the blessing.
“It is for saints to lead the way among men by holy influence: they are not to be the tail, to be dragged hither and thither by others. We must not yield to the spirit of the age, but compel the age to do homage to Christ. If the Lord be with us, we shalt not crave toleration for religion, but we shall seek to seat it on the throne of society. Has not the Lord Jesus made His people priests? Surely they are to teach and must not be learners from the philosophies of unbelievers. Are we not in Christ made kings to reign upon the earth? How, then can we be the servants of custom, the slaves of human opinion?”
In the Decency Minutes below, which you can read or hear narrated by Bill Johnson by clicking on the title, we can see the fruit of “being servants of custom” and “slaves of human opinion.” We can see demonstrated the impact of “craving toleration” rather than “compelling the age to do homage to Christ,” or to show Him honor. May we go on from here to walk in obedience to God. The Christian faith which inspired the founding of our nation has been relegated to a private matter between us and God. Read on to see the impact and to find Spurgeon’s exhortation.
Help to Restore Accuracy in the Voter Roles!
The adage “cheaters never prosper” isn’t true when it comes to elections. Leftists have proven they aren’t interested in election integrity, but in winning elections – by hook or by crook.
In Michigan, Secretary of State Benson has been sued for failing to clean up the voter rolls, yet she’s refused to do so – even though by law she’s required to maintain accurate voter records. Fifty-three of Michigan’s 83 counties have more registered voters than voting-age citizens.
It’s obvious what’s at stake in this upcoming election. The radical transformation of America by a weaponized federal government in just three years is breathtaking.
Concerned citizens are needed, not just on election day, but also in the months ahead to help restore accurate voting rolls and get-out-the-vote efforts. Email info@americandecency.org for ways you can help. Get involved, go to the polls, and go to your knees.
Biden Sends Out a Warm Message on Easter… to Transgenders?
Here’s what President Biden had to say to the millions of Christians this Easter: “Jill and I send our warmest wishes to Christians around the world celebrating Easter Sunday.”
Contrast that with his warm message on Transgender Visibility Day, which he recognized on the same date: “Today, we send a message to all transgender Americans: You are loved. You are heard. You are understood. You belong. You are America, and my entire Administration and I have your back.”
Biden’s proclamations leave no question about which constituency has his true allegiance.
No matter where Biden’s allegiance lies today, we know that one day He will bow his knee. “As for me, God says in Psalm 2, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill.” “Now therefore, O kings, be wise;” He continues, “be warned, O rulers of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.”
Cheap immigrant labor could cost Tyson a bundle. An investment company, the American Conservative Values (ETF)is divesting from Tyson foods and placed a “refuse to buy” rating on the food giant’s stock. This comes after Tyson hired migrants to work at their plants, putting many hardworking Americans out of a job.
American Conservative Values’ CEO, Bill Flaig states, “The risk of alienating a significant percentage of Tyson’s customers outweighs any potential economic benefit.
“In a recent Pew Research poll, 80% of US adults say the US government is doing a bad job of handling the migrant influx. We have seen the negative impact of alienating customers recently with Bud Light and Target, and by divesting we are protecting our shareholders.”
We invite you to learn more about this troubling topic by visiting AmericanDecency.org, where we posted an article last week.
Spurgeon’s devotional which we quoted above concludes with this encouragement for God’s people:
“Have you, dear friend, taken up your true position for Jesus? Too many are silent because diffident, if not cowardly. Should we allow the name of the Lord Jesus to be kept in the background? Should our religion drag along as a tail? Should it not rather lead the way and be the ruling force with ourselves and others.”
