Stedfast with God

Psalm 78:1 Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

Psalm 78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:

Psalm 78:3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.

Psalm 78:4 We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.

Psalm 78:5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:

Psalm 78:6 That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:

Psalm 78:7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:

Psalm 78:8 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

We are living in changing times. The culture of America today is more anti-God than every before. This is all the more reason for us to be more involved with living for God than ever before. Because there should never be changing times in the church. When did school programs, social gatherings and athletic events become more important than the work of God? Since when did spending time with our friends become more important than spreading this great gospel? Young and old need to be more involved with the cause than ever before. Since when did a skirt automatically qualify for modest dress? Just because its a skirt (which it better be for women) doesn't mean its modest. Furthermore with some when did it become right for women to wear men's apparel, and vice versa? When did it become OK to resemble the world in our appearance, our attitude, our entertainment, and our morals? When did prayer become optional? When did fasting become old fashion? Who made it OK to call Pastors and saints alike by their first names without titles brother, sister, Pastor, etc. attached? Worse is the changing of doctrine; when did it become acceptable to God just to make a confession alone, or to be baptized any other way outside of Jesus' name? I never got the memo from the Lord that said we could now be born again without the Holy Ghost, because the truth has never changed. Really who do we think we are if we are of those that believe we do not still have to follow the old paths? It still takes repentance, it still takes the infilling of the Holy Ghost, it still takes Jesus name baptism to be born again. It's still holiness or hell. We still have to dress right and modest. We still are required to live separate from this world, and to abstain from the very appearance of evil. Praying is still not optional for a child of the king, and fasting is a must. We must gather together more and not forsake the gathering of ourselves together. It is still honor to whom honor is due. We don't need another rebellious generation rising up that doesn't know God. Those who claim Pentecost and claim the born again message and are forsaking what they once were need to wake up for their our sake and for their children's sake, before it's too late

I want to be steadfast with God. If God has not changed and we have his spirit inside of us, just like those before us, then there is no reason we should change our view on carnality and sin. Truth is still truth, right is still right, and sin is still sin.

Lets fight a good fight, lets be steadfast with God.
