Yesterday on my way our to First Baptist Church in Reserve, Pastor David Schumm of the Glenwood First Baptist Church called me and told me that his new Church sign by the highway had been vandalized. It has a message on it “H8RS!” Meaning Haters (H8RS) My friend Joann Young told me that it is a new sick way to say hate.
This is a rare case of vandalism to a Church in Catron County. I classify this as a hate crime.
I am blessed to preach from time to time at FBC in Glenwood, such a wonderful, loving congregation, led by a awesome man of God Pastor Dave!!!
Join me in praying for the end of hate in America. Hate crimes continue to rise in America. Places of worship continue to be attacked. This is Spiritual Warfare.
Just remember you cannot legislate morality, it is a heart issue. Hearts given to JESUS!
This is a Spiritual crisis not only New Mexico but America, it is not a political crisis it is Spiritual warfare. We are a country now, where many have made politics their God. Sadly, people think politics will solve our problems, that is so very wrong. Politics is wrecking our Country. Politics in America is mired down in thick mud slop.
The Truth About Spiritual Warfare
Too much of the world struggles with the “natural mind” The thinking process that is limited to human reason and resources. Human history shows that the natural mind becomes progressively self-destructive if left to it’s own desires. People who are directed by their natural minds walk in darkness and have incorrect thinking.
“So I tell you this, in the futility of their thinking. They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.” Eph 4:17,18
The Word of God calls the mind of a natural man “blinded” 2 Cor. 4:4 “depraved” Romans 1:28, “corrupt” 1 Tim 6:5, and “unspiritual” Col. 2:18. The natural mind thinks from a humanistic sin-debased viewpoint. The viewpoint of the flesh directs it’s thoughts. The sinful mind is under control of Satan.
This why we must share the light of Jesus Christ to one person at a time……..what I just shared with you is why so many of the folks in Washington struggle!
Let us all be Christ like in all we do, to have the mind of Christ! Let us strive to be Salt and Light!
Do not show an unbelieving world what it wants to see. Let us all exhibit Godly behavior.
