Dear brother Greg,
I am not despising anyone choosing a way of simplicity and safety in these times.
But I feel that we should not create a climate of fear among Christians when our Lord Jesus has said, "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful (John 14:27).”
Are we denying Christ when we are preoccupied with fears from our view of things around us?
How can we know the peace of God that passes understanding when we remain anxious about something?
Phil. 4:6-7 ”“
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Given the rapid technological advancements in these times, can any measure that we take truly protect us from all the evil that technology may be used for?
The enemies will always be too mighty for us.
But praise the Lord the battle is not ours. It is the Lord’s! Jesus saves!
2 Chr. 20:12 ”“
"O our God, wilt Thou not judge them? For we are powerless before this great multitude who are coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are on Thee.”
v. 17 ”“
You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the LORD, who is with you……
……stand still and see the salvation of the LORD, who is with you……
Psalms 18:17-19 ”“
He delivered me from my strong enemy,
And from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
But the LORD was my stay.
He brought me forth also into a broad place;
He rescued me, because He delighted in me.
If God is for us, who is against us (Rom. 8:31)?
But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer (not through ourselves but) through Him who loved us (v.37).
Prov. 3:5-6 ”“
Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.
Isa. 42:16 ”“
I will bring the blind by a way they did not know;
I will lead them in paths they have not known.
I will make darkness light before them,
And crooked places straight.
These things I will do for them,
And not forsake them.
I will bring the blind by a way they did not know;
I will lead them in paths they have not known.
Psalms 23:4 ”“
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil; for Thou art with me;
Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.
2 Cor.12:9 ”“
And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
Eph. 3:20-21 ”“
Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.
Lam. 3:25-26 ”“
The LORD is good to those who wait for Him,
To the person who seeks Him.
It is good that he waits silently
For the salvation of the LORD.
Blessings
