What The Bible Says
Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice
In 1Kings.18 Elijah, speaking to Israel, said, “How long halt ye between two opinions? If the LORD (Jehovah) be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word” (1Kings.18:21). Being familiar with the chapter we know there is a contest and in a 63 word prayer Elijah calls down fire from heaven. America is in a similar plight; she worships gods of evolution, climatechangeology, and sexual-perversion. No question, America needs to see fire called down from heaven. If she will see it, … it will be seen the same way you and I see it, on the pages of God's Holy Word! Elijah shows it in 1Kings.18, but wait there's more. Sodomites can see it in Gen.19:24 (brimstone still extends 6 mi deep under the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth!); Scoffers in 2Kings.1:10,12; Worshipers in 1Chron.21:27 and 2Chron.7:1. Misguided disciples can see it NOT in Luke.9:54-56.
Americans need to see God as their Creator. He made things reproduce after their kind, (Gen.1:11,12, 21,24,25,6:20,&7:14); dogs CANNOT reproduce Clydesdale horses, nor lizards bald eagles! A sunflower tracks the sun, because God created it that way!
The Climatechangeologist needs to see Isa.45:18,22, and Jer.10:12,13. In Luke 16 the rich man in hell said. “I pray thee therefore, father, that thou would send (Lazarus) to my father's house... lest they also come into this place of torment, … If one went unto them from the dead, they will repent”(Luk.16:27-30). The Word of God said, “If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead” (Luk.16:31, cf 29). If America is to see fire, … and truth, it will be seen in God's Holy Word; it is quick and powerful and sharper than any two edged sword.
