"IS THERE NOT A CAUSE?"


Brothers and Sisters, Is there not a cause in our land today?

I recalled the response of David to his brother as Israel cowered before Goliath, "And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.
And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?"
(1Sam.17:28-29)

We face giants today that seem to be looked upon with apathy and little concern by most professed Christianity! Our nation is running headlong into destruction and for the most part we continue just plodding along in our day to day activities. Is there no man to stand in the gap?
Where are the Davids, the Elijahs? Where are the Whitefields, the Rowlands and the many other valiant soldiers of the cross? Have we all become statues of stone? Do we not see the degradation, the mockery of God and His word? Where is the holy boldness that filled those in the early church? Where are the preachers in the open fields, the heralds of God who walk the highways and byways of our land thundering out the word of God unapologetically? Is there not a cause?
Are we afraid of the naysayers or of the opposition of this world? Do we fear men more than God? David was accused falsely and belittled by his own brother, nevertheless, he boldly confessed and was willing to stand in the power of the God of Israel! Are we?

Brothers and Sisters, please pray that God would say unto His Elijahs, Arise!

Brothers and Sisters, THERE IS A CAUSE!
