Is There Not A Cause? (Part 2)

This is a question we should ask today when God, His truth, His church, and His people are attacked.

Is There Not A Cause? (Part 2)

David stood before his brethren, as God and His army was being mocked, and asked this searching question (1 Samuel 17:29). David was ready to stand up and defend the honor of his God and God’s people, even against Goliath. Because of David’s courage, Goliath was conquered, and the armies of God triumphed…never underestimate the power of one voice!

This is a question we should ask today when God, His truth, His church, and His people are attacked. Is there not a cause:

  1. When our world is shaken by tragedy? Many rally behind “their cause,” is ours God? Shall we not point people to Him that has the answers and is the answer?
  2. When God and His nature is attacked? Are we to defend His honor and point people to the truth? Do we sit idly by and allow Him to be defied and mocked?
  3. When sin runs rampant in our society? Shall we not speak out concerning God’s standard and by that standard condemn the sin? Shall we not warn lost souls?
  4. When the Bible and Bible Authority are rejected? Will we speak out concerning His Word? Will we hold to it and defend it as the inspired, inerrant, immutable word of God? Will we proclaim it to others?
  5. When the church and the religious world is splintered by denominationalism and false doctrine? Will we proclaim the distinctiveness of the Lord’s church? Will we contend for the faith and point people back New Testament church that rightly belongs to Christ?
