Holding Fast for God & Country…by Pastor Jared Deckerfor God & Country

This post is written to address one key issue in our President’s speech before the UN yesterday…his dangerous statements about the nation of Israel. I will not go into detail in this post about how dumbfounded I am that someone with this view of Israel has the unmitigated GALL to supposedly claim to be a “Christian”. I’ll deal with that issue in a post very soon; however, I do want to give a little bit of a commentary, from a Biblical view, on President Obama’s statements about the nation Israel and where America will stand on issues about them.

Let me begin by reminding you of what the Word of God says reguarding a nations relationship with the nation of Israel. In Genesis 12:3, the Bible says, “And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” The Bible also tells us in Genesis 22:18 that Israel is the source by which “all the nations of the earth” would be blessed. A GENUINE, Bible believing Christian knows the value of the nation of Israel.

The following excerpts are taken from the second point of President Obama’s speech. I am going to break it into six individual statements, so that I can comment effectively on the dangers of each of them.

My Fellow Christians,

The time for passivism in the political arena by God’s people is dead and gone. It is time for Christians to awake out of sleep and do something about our current situation in this great but wayward country of ours. I have for years tread softly on political issues from my pulpit, but NO MORE. Since the government of our nation has seen fit to propose and push legislation that will threaten the freedoms that we have as citizens, parents, children, and eventually Christians, I see no other recourse but to state my moral oppositions to our governments infringement upon our freedoms. So, state it…yeah shout it from the house top and from the pulpit I will. When the government decides to back away from pushing its immoral agenda, then I will back away from pushing back with our moral agenda. It is time to be proactive in our righteousness. Let us stop making the same careless mistake that Lot made in Sodom. Let there be some with us because we have stood for something, lest we fall for anything.

In the service of the KING,

Pastor Jared Decker
