Jeremiah 6:14, Holy Bible says,
"They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. 'Peace, peace,' they say, when there is no peace."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on that passage in context is as follows, Saints.
"When the Lord arises to take vengeance, no sinners of any age or rank, or of either sex escape. They were set upon the world, and wholly carried away by the love of it. If we judge of this sin by God's word, we find multitudes in every station and rank given up to it. Those are to be reckoned our worst and most dangerous enemies, who flatter us in a sinful way. Oh that men would be wise for their souls! Ask for the old paths; the way of godliness and righteousness has always been the way God has owned and blessed. Ask for the old paths set forth by the written word of God. When you have found the good way, go on in it, you will find abundant recompence at your journey's end. But if men will not obey the voice of God and flee to his appointed Refuge, it will plainly appear at the day of judgment, that they are ruined because they reject God's word."
Please continue to pray for our nation, and most specifically pray for the Church. Please pray for the Church, Saints, for adherence to the inerrant Word of God, the Holy Bible. Pray for the Church in order to counter the tide of growing apostasy. Pray for the Church! Pray for the Church with at least as much fervor as you pray for the salvation of lost souls.
In Psalm 11, the writer posed the following question. He asked, "What can the righteous do when the foundations crumble?"
In fact, here is the entire Psalm:
"In the LORD I take refuge.
How then can you say to me:
"Flee like a bird to your mountain.
For look, the wicked bend their bows;
they set their arrows against the strings
to shoot from the shadows
at the upright in heart.
When the foundations are being destroyed,
what can the righteous do?"
The LORD is in His holy temple;
the LORD is on His heavenly throne.
He observes the sons of men;
His eyes examine them.
The LORD examines the righteous,
but the wicked and those who love violence
His soul hates.
On the wicked He will rain
fiery coals and burning sulfur;
a scorching wind will be their lot.
For the LORD is righteous,
He loves justice;
upright men will see His face."
The answer to the question,"What can the righteous do when the foundations crumble?"is,
LET THE CHURCH BE THE CHURCH!
If Christ be lifted UP [made manifestly visible through the vitality of His body, the Church], He [Christ Jesus, the KING of Kings] can draw all of humanity to Himself.[My Paraphrase]
Standing tallest on our knees, Saints!
