The Old Paths

“Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.” ?Jeremiah 6:16

Does not this sound like America today the more I think about this verse the more I think about this nation?

It is like everything this country once stood for is now in reverse if you are a Christian you are looked on as if you are an evil fanatic, while others like Muslims, Buddhist and so on can do as they please.

Who is to blame for this? I believe it is us Christians not all but most churches these days would rather walk the so called new paths: (New Age Movement).

You know what I am talking about: (God is Love, He Loves all and will not send anyone to hell, Pick your new so called bible version to use this week, No Soul Winning, Luke Warm, Dead Church, And the list could go on).

We as Christians and Americans are removing the ancient landmarks and straying away from the Old Paths. We have become plants which the Heavenly Father planted not. In the words of the apostle, For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. ?(II Timothy 4:3-4).

So what are we to do as Christians?

We need to lift up the Standard:

Go through, go through the gates; prepare you the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people. Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the world, Say you to the daughter of Zion, Behold, your salvation comes; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and you shall be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken. (Isaiah 62:10-12)

As we can see in the above verses it is the people of God that have a responsibility in lifting up a standard for the people no one else but us.

So get out there and let your voice be heard go through the gates spread the gospel along the highways lets turn this nation back to the Lord one person at a time.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. (Psalm 33:12)
