Squeaky wheels...

Exodus 14:14
New King James Version (NKJV)
14 The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”

It seems to me that a minority of people are using the "squeaky wheel" idiom to perpetuate their political agendas. If a minority squeaks loud enough about an issue, even if it's contrary to what God proclaims in His Word, it will override what the majority believes, or so it seems. The problem or maybe the solution, depending how you look at it, is that when God is involved in an issue, it doesn't matter how many people follow along. He doesn't need us to accomplish His will but He graciously allows us to actively participate in it.  God can use one man to bring change to the world. He did that in Jesus, our Messiah and He can do it in and through His children.  Many "so-called" Christians are allowing the things of this world to permeate into who they are and what they believe. If Christ is living in us through the Holy Spirit, we cannot be submitting to what the world sees as right and wrong and becoming stained and blemished ourselves. 

As Christians, our moral barometer can only come from one source, The Word of God. Anything that is contrary to that is false and untrue. We need to pray for wisdom and boldness, and we need to deliver the truth in love, not the easiest task in the midst of a corrupt society, but definitely possible with God's help. We need a revival in this country of ours. We need to proclaim the Lord Jesus and the gift of salvation offered to anyone who will believe before it's too late. I pray that we as believers would not allow our society's moral condition make us feel defeated because The Lord has promised to fight our battles for us! He is coming back, He promised...

Revelation 22:7
New King James Version (NKJV)
7 “Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
