Faith in an Evil Generation
Faith in an Evil Generation
30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,
Everywhere we look, there is disheartening news...
The World has changed so much in the past few years that it doesn’t even seem possible that we are in the same America that I grew up in...
Patriotism
Red, white & blue… Honor for the flag
Love for our military and honor for our vets
Authority
Respect for the police officers… (and I know there are bad apples in every crowd) but when 5 Tempe AZ police officers were asked to leave starbucks, because 1 customer was “uncomfortable” with them being present.... Unbelievable - The starbucks employee ought to be fired - kicked 5 customers out because 1 snowflake was uncomfortable...
this politically correct mentality is not sustainable…
Respect
Parents / Grandparents
Teachers
Truth - right and wrong...
Right is no longer right
Wrong is no longer wrong
Family -
what is the family unit?
it has all changed…
Marriage… has been re-designated - attempt to redefine a relationship that did not begin with society but with God Almighty - 1 man / 1 woman - for life… is God’s plan...
Identity -
Man / woman
Identity - So much confusion…
People are confused...
There are so many opposing ideologies that have spawned out of the evil imaginations of man...
ideologies that are an affront to truth…
What is...
Truth is Truth...
Truth has fallen in the streets as scripture tells us...
trampled under the foot of men...
Nobody wants anybody telling them the truth… because it offends..
“Truth is not inclusive… Truth is Exclusive”
Our society - at its core, is breaking down...
a new guard is replacing common sense and principles that have worked in the governance of our country for the past 243 years...
35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,
An evil generation...

There is always a remnant - ALWAYS PEOPLE WHO HAVE FAITH IN AN EVIL GENERATION....
We are in an evil generation...
We are in a day of Evil and Darkness… - But Praise be to God that HE IS STILL ON THE THRONE!!!
THE CROWD
In Joshua and Calebs day - the crowd was uncertain
1 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!
num14.1-2
THE CULTURE
The leadership in the culture were “counter faith”
They led on fear
They led by creating an uncertainty...
The led in the culture were “counter faith”
3 And wherefore hath the Lord brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?
4 And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
THE COMMON
The Secular Worldview has replaced the Sacred
Premises are proposed w/o foundation to support them
Processes are embraced
Problems are disregarded because it doesn’t line up with their ideology
they were willing to sacrifice the blessings of God for Slavery in Egypt...
when you go back into the world you always lose God’s blessings.
Sacred Worldview...
I will speak more of this at a later time - but Parents - don’t think your kids are the exception to the rule...
Don’t think that you can send them to a secular institution to be taught and them come out with a good solid biblical worldview and strong faith...
THE CURE
Believe God!!!!
Stay true to TRUTH!!!
DON’T WAIVER
DON’T CAVE TO THE PRESSURE OF THE MAJORITY...
Caleb - Stood up against the crowd
Joshua - Stood up against the crowd
Elijah on Mount Carmel -
Elijah on Mount Carmel -
450 prophets of Baal
7,000 men who had not bowed the knee to Baal
keep the faith!!!
No matter what CNN says
No matter what msnbc says...
No matter what comes out of:
Stanford, Berkley or these other sesspools of so called “higher learning” that has abandoned truth...
College campuses have become institutions of the underming and erradication of truth from the minds of the youth...
The Cure… Is our FAITH IN OUR GOD...
35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,
The hope of the world is for them to see the Truth - before it’s too late....
Don’t miss out on all that God has for you and your family...
The blessings of God on:
your life...
your marriage
your children
your business
your career
your soul…
