Will the True Believer Please Stand Up

Book Cover & Preview Text
Many of us have tremendous fears and anxieties over
the things that are happening in our nation today. Many of us fear financial
security, terminal illnesses, terrorist’s attacks, nuclear wars and death. But
these are the results of putting our faith and trust in the wrong beings, men.
Philippians 3:2 says: “Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of
concision. For we are the circumcision, which worship in spirit, and rejoice in
Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.” So, when we live according
to God’s Word, our anxieties can be relieved and we look forward to the time when Christ will reign over all
things. We all know that we will live for a season then die from the world,
that we know. But, Hebrews 9:27 says: “And as it is appointed unto men once to
die, the but after this the judgment:”
In listening to some instruction of what to do in
the event of a nuclear attack, the instructions sounded simply ludicrous. Once
the oxygen supply has been cut off and used up after taping up the ducts and
window, then what? If the nuclear material doesn’t kill us, the lack of oxygen
certainly will. At any rate, out of those two options, we will be a dead duck
anyway we look at it. It is obvious, that man does not have a clue as to how to
survive such an attack.
All of the confusion and chaos in our world today
came about because of disobedience to God and our failure to stand up for
righteousness in critical times. After removing God’s names from all
governmental functions, many of us still think we can call on God in our times
of despair, get results from calling on Him then and return to our old wretched
ways. The cry to pray in times of crises for a few days or until we get over
the crises then return to our old wretched ways is mockery to the sovereign
God. Will we be like Judah whom God sent Jeremiah to warn about their evil
doing? Jeremiah 26:4-6 says: “And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD,
If ye will not harken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you--
Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all
the nations of the earth.” Our nation is no exception to God’s rule.
We can’t serve God and Satan too. It is time for
true believers to stand up to the evils of our society and speak out for
righteousness.

About the Book
The main purpose of this book is to show the
relevance of God and our nation in retrospect to God and the nations of the
Bible. The Bible offers itself as the reference for past as well as future
events. It shows God’s sovereignty over every nation as well as the
consequences for every nation that ignores God’s principles.
America has prospered greatly and grown tall in
respect of other nations as she continued from her humble beginning as a God
fearing nation whose primary objective was to worship the one Sovereign God.
But our great nation has been rapidly deteriorating as rising leaders with no
respect for God began leading the nation away from the very principles on which
it started, “One Nation Under God", and "In God We Trust.” We
blatantly say, “God, we don’t want you in our mist,” as we continually expel
His name from every organization in our nation.
While addressing issues of every day life, I present
scriptures showing that unawareness of The Sovereign God’s Word and apathy are
the sole factors for our chaotic condition. This is a challenge for the “True
believer to stand up,” for his commitment as a Christian.
About the Author
The author, an ordinary lay person with no
extraordinary ability to write was led by the Holy Spirit to write this book.
She felt like Noah must have felt when God told him to build the ark. Hilarious to some, absurd to her because she
didn’t know how, she allowed herself to be led by the Holy Spirit. As she began to write, she was astound as
the many issues of individual life styles were revealed and scriptural
references that illuminated the impact that immoral living has on the decline
of a nation.
