THANKSGIVING (2008): THE CURSE OF COMMUNISM!
TEXT: Ephesians 3:14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named...
The family is a foundational doctrine. We know it is being perverted in these last days. There are many "isms" that want to destroy the family, so that they can conform the impressionable minds of the children to their agenda.
The family in this verse in Ephesians is the family of God. This means everyone who is born again; everyone who accepts Jesus as Saviour (not of works):
Galatians 6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Just as we need to contend for the Biblical definition of the nuclear family; we also need to contend against those who would redefine the family of faith! Evil men and seducers want you to believe that everyone is one big family of God!
Anyone who properly believes in Jesus is my spiritual brother, regardless of nationality or race or economic status. But no one is my spiritual brother who believes in salvation by works, or who trusts in some other savior than Jesus.
For over 100 years there has been an aggressive push to break down religious barriers - to unite all religions. Therefore, fundamentalismhas become the great evil - ridiculed by everyone from Jimmy Carter, to Rick Warren and the Pope! They call us to be "Global citizens." Carter, when he was President, said we are "a beloved community."
A New World Order is coming (in many ways it is here), where everyone is equalized into a Universal Communist system, where the state and religion merge together. If you oppose it, you are "hate-filled" and "unpatriotic."
For this Worldwide Communist Utopia to be established, two barriers must be overcome:
1. The barrier of the traditional family.
2. The barrier of the Christian family of God.
