1Pe 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
A lion roars to let other lions know where his territory is, indicate how big it is, and can intimidate weaker creatures. God’s children are lion tamers.
Pr 28:1 The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.
Heb 11:32 ...stopped the mouths of lions….
George Barna said that 31 million “evangelicals” [supposed believers] are planning to stay at home and not vote in the upcoming election. The challenging thing is that there are trembling pastors that shake like a leaf in their ministries. Satan roars at them, “Don’t you dare say anything that might make people offended. You will lose them; the offerings will go down; you may even be fired!” Speak softly, smile a lot, be inviting, don’t condemn anything, don’t talk about rules, just be happy, happy happy!
“All that is necessary for evil to overcome is for good men to do nothing.” We are not moral midgets in this battle. We are sheep not lions, but we are not afraid of the lions.
There are churches everywhere that are . . .
more concerned about being politically correct than being Biblically accurate!more concerned about public opinion than about powerful preaching from God’s Word!
more concerned about the length of the sermon than the lostness of souls!
more willing to talk of the failures of others than God’s wonderful blessings!
more involved with bright lights, motivational speeches, and contemporary music than they are the teaching of the Word of God.
GOD’S CHILDREN ARE LION TAMERS! Who stand up, step up, speak out, tell the truth, and vote for righteousness!
Most of the good ideas that we have enjoyed in this country are Bible-based.
Property rights are a Bible idea! (Gen 23:16; 2 Sam 24:24)
Capitalism is a Bible idea! (1 Ki 10:28)
Equality Is a Bible idea! (Acts 10:28; 17:25)
Free trade is a Bible idea! (Pro 11:26)
Having children is a Bible idea! (Gen 1:28; 9:1)
Capital Punishment is a Bible idea! (Gen 9:6)
Voting is a Bible idea! (Jos 24:14-15)
So everything you like about this country was VOTED ON—everything you do not like about this country was VOTED ON. NOT TO VOTE IS TO VOTE AGAINST WHAT YOU SAY YOU BELIEVE IN.
Consider – Jesus is THE Lion. (Rev 5:5) Jer 25:30 ...The LORD shall roar from on high…; he shall give a shout... against all the inhabitants of the earth.
