A Hindu in the House
“You shall have no other gods before Me."
(Exodus 20:3 NKJV)
According to Bill Keller, host of LivePrayer, Thursday was a "sad day in our nation!"
Thursday was a dark day spiritually for our nation. For the first time since the Senate was formed in 1789, the opening prayer was delivered by a Hindu Chaplain. This nation which was founded on "one nation UNDER GOD," prayed to the numerous false and non-existent gods of the Hindu religion. Let me share with you a warning from God's Word. This comes from the Book of Deuteronomy, Chapter 8, Verse 19. The Bible says, "If you ever forget the LORD your God and follow other gods and worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will surely be destroyed." How can we expect God's protection and blessings when we have forsaken Him and are now worshipping the false gods of the world? When the next terrorist attack on our soil takes place, remember this day!
Thank God there were some Christians present during this prayer that stood against it. According to WorldNetDaily.com:
Three protesters interrupted a Hindu cleric today who became the first from his religion to offer the Senate's opening prayer...
"Lord Jesus, forgive us, Father, for allowing the prayer of the wicked, which is an abomination in your sight," said a male protester.
The Senate's sergeant at arms was instructed to restore order, but Zed was interrupted again.
"You shall have no other gods before you. ... "
I'll tell you what folks, these people had guts! God bless them!
My Take:
-
This is what happens when we allow these false and heathen religions into this county
-
It's not surprising since, as a nation, we've taken God out of the public square
-
Satan is always underfoot working to subvert the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, so no surprise here either
-
The Old Testament is rife with examples of the nation of Israel doing the same thing; think Baal, Moloch, et al
-
As our leaders continue down this path, the outlook for America is not good
-
God will eventually bring His judgment to pass on this nation if we continue to turn our backs to Him and worship other gods
-
Pray for revival. First within your own lives than for the nation as a whole. This is our only hope
Be blessed!
