No hymn requests today, I’m on my own. So let’s have this one, a hymn the ungodly hate like poison–all that stuff about world leaders having to pay tribute to Jesus Christ, the Lord of All. Oh, they hate that!
Christ Shall Have Dominion… over land and sea.
And the sooner, the better.
I post this as an antidote, an answer, to the pessimism that creeps over our souls from time to time. Let us not forget the God we serve!
If you can, take yourself out of today’s nooze and put yourself into the audience within this video–and then try to tell yourself the bad guys win, no hope, they beat God. Go ahead, try.
Our God Is an Awesome God, by Michael W. Smith: he hardly has to sing it; he’s got a hall full of people to sing it for him.
Feel free to join in!
There’s too much of this: Christians throwing in the towel, conceding their country and the world to communists and trannies and other villains–we’re done, we’re through, they win, the bad guys always win, etc., etc. You should see my chess page. It’s enough to make you sit down and cry. Those guys laugh if they hear anybody else called a pessimist.
But here are a few little things to keep in mind.
Uh, whose lord has already been condemned to the lake of fire–ours or theirs?
Whose holy scriptures have endured for thousands of years? Hint: none of theirs.
Look at the difference between music created by Christians and music created by those who reject Christ.
By their fruits you shall know them. When was the last time you saw Darwinists embark on a food or clothing drive? Whose architecture is nicer, ours or theirs? Who spent the entire 20th century piling up a body count that dwarfs the murders of all the other centuries put together? It’s true that we Christians have things in our history for which we should be, and are, ashamed: but we have grown out of them. And even when we were waging religious wars against each other, those were nothing compared to communism’s war against the human race.
The thing about surrendering our country to the bad guys is–we can’t! No way. And the problem with normal, sane people is, they’re busy doing normal, sane things, like raising their families and doing their jobs, and they have little or no time for activism. Plus we are constitutionally averse to anything like an obsessive desire to control other people’s lives: but that desire scalds the heart of every leftist. So in that way they have the advantage over us.
But if God be for us, who can be against us? Some of us sound like we’ve forgotten that there is a God–our God, the awesome God: who has furthermore bought us with a price. Did Christ die in vain? Was He risen from the dead in vain? Did God create the earth as a playground for little socialist cabals who want to pick on people?
The idea of surrender shouldn’t even cross our minds.
Because our God is an awesome God!
Christ Pantokrator, King of kings and Lord of lords
As we prepare to wade into another day of dreary and unedifying nooze, it’s well to keep in mind the Good News of the gospel.
The world has not yet seen all that Jesus Christ can do.
I’m posting this hymn again because I want to declare the object of my faith, the sole God in whom I trust–In Christ Alone (performed by Keith and Kristyn Getty). To quote the very first line of the lyrics: “In Christ alone my hope is found.”
Not in any global government, or any government of any kind. Not in The Smartest People in the World slapping each other on the back as they swill expensive drinks in Davos. Not in managers, mavens, or morons. Not in judge-of-all-the-earth wannabes who couldn’t umpire a softball game, let alone govern all the earth.
In Christ alone. My king, and the only king whose right it is.
The Lord said unto my lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. (Psalm 110:1)
We have to hang on until He does it.
Remember the bozo, a couple years ago, who told me to lay off the sermonizing and just report the nooze? As if the nooze, anymore, was anything less than left-wing sermonizing for their own false gods.
Do they know whom they’re trifling with?

No, boys ‘n’ girls, he’s not a tame lion.
For a refresher course on this, see Psalm 2. “He shall break them with a rod of iron, and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”
