11-24-17 Borders and Boundaries


Borders and Boundaries :: by Greg May

Published on:  by RRadmin7 Category:General Articles, Greg May

A number of years ago I was attending a church service when the visiting evangelist said, “God will punish the state of Florida for not protecting its border.”  Since then Florida has been ravaged by wildfires burning out of control, not to mention an onslaught of hurricanes – including Hurricane Andrew (which devastated Homestead) – the most destructive hurricane ever to hit the state.
God honors the concept of borders and boundaries; He holds us personally accountable for the maintenance of those ‘borders.’  Consider the following examples of biblical border responsibilities:  We are instructed to guard the boundaries of our minds and spirits (Romans 12:1), our bodies (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), the womb (Psalm 139:13), childhood (Matthew 18:6), marriage (Matthew 19:4-6), sexuality (1 Corinthians 6:18), and our allegiance of worship (John 4:24).
Failure to revere these borders brings consequences.
When a nation consistently violates these borders, the Lord brings a curse upon that nation, which manifests itself in the degradation of another important boundary – national border security.  The Lord is God of national and geographic borders.  God not only originated the concept but He declares blessings and curses concerning the matter.
“When the Most High gave nations as their inheritance, when He separated the human race, He set boundaries for the people according to the number of the children of God” (Deuteronomy 32:8).
The ‘separation of the human race’ occurred at the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11).  This was humankind’s first attempt to have a purely globalistic community – a one-world relationship seeking to “reach the gods.” However, God forbade it.  He divided the peoples into nations, each with distinct national borders.
God gave the Children of Israel the Promised Land, and He spelled out the border markers in the passages of Numbers 34:1-15 and Ezekiel 47:13-23.
Walter Cronkite was known as ‘The Most Trusted Man in America’ as he anchored the CBS Evening News for nearly 20 years.  In 1999, Cronkite spoke before the United Nations as he accepted the Norman Cousins Global Governance Award from the World Federalists Association. Cronkite told his audience that the first step toward achieving the goal of a one-world government was to strengthen the United Nations, saying:
“Pat Robertson has written in a book a few years ago that we should have a world government, but only when the Messiah arrives.  He wrote, literally, any attempt to achieve world order before that time must be the work of the devil.  Well, join me.  I’m glad to sit here at the right hand of Satan.”
As our world spirals out of control and our nation turns from God, globalists and world leaders believe they will accomplish their goal.  However, God is the same today as He was when He first set forth His laws and boundaries; and very soon the consequences will be meted out upon an unrepentant world.

9-16-23 Santa Staleness

Santa Staleness :: By Edwin Tan Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles My one and only trip to Israel had more than a profound effect on my present-day psyche. It might have been three decades ago, but there is more than a lingering aftertaste. It happened smack in the last fortnight of the year. Surprisingly absent were the familiar sights and sounds of the Christmas most people are accustomed to. Hardly any Christmas decorations in downtown Tel Aviv, if not any of the shopping thoroughfares across the Holy Land. Hanukah was a breath of fresh air – not anything resembling a Christmas carol most people grew up with did surface. The Christmas Eve service in a small Protestant church not far away from Jerusalem’s Old City was awesome; songs that truly celebrated the virgin birth of our Lord, which though seemingly unheard of, were a welcome inspiration to many a soul. There was even one sung in Arabic! So it began, my overt disdain for the secular Christmas t...

9-25-23 The Farm Chronicles: One Christmas

The Farm Chronicles: One Christmas :: By Bill Wilson Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:Bill Wilson, General Articles There are a lot of terrible things going on right now in the world. But we are at the time of the year when we, as Christians, celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. We can choose to be impacted by the world around us in its dimly lit arena, or we can choose to let our light so shine. I choose the latter. I want to tell you a little about the Christmas that I had growing up on our family farm in Ohio. I was blessed to be born into a horse and cattle farm that has been in our family for some 200 years. And Christmas, especially Christmas Eve, was a wonderful time for our family. December 24 was my Dad’s birthday. And my Dad was well-loved by his neighbors and friends, so we had a lot going on Christmas Eve. I remember one special Christmas Eve. I must have been about four years old. The night was falling, and the wind and snow were whipping across the barny...

9-15-23 Miracles 2

Miracles 2 :: By Jim Towers Published on: December 21, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles This story is a continuation of the exciting things God continues doing in my life. I was supposed to have died a while back, and sometimes I feel as though I may do so soon. But since I’m ready to meet my maker, I have no fear of death. In fact, my evangelistic zeal has only increased, especially as I see the fast approaching of the “Tribulation period” mentioned in the book of Revelation. Insofar as my acting career is concerned, I just finished filming a soliloquy featuring Melchior, one of the three Magi who followed the star to Christ lying in the manger, and am preparing to portray a Jewish Priest on stage. Like I said, God is working overtime in my life, and I will be appearing on stage singing Broadway show tunes sometime in March, so I have a lot of rehearsing to do. In the meantime, I will be signing Christmas carols acapella at a park here in Naples. Since it is a spontaneous th...
