II Chronicles 29:1 “Furthermore David the King said unto all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God has chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great: for the palace is not for man, but for the Lord God.” Commentary: What is King David saying here? The brick and mortar of your church exists for God! It does not matter your congregation size for the purpose is the same! We exist for God! For his glory! He created us and all that is in this world! Yet some refuse to give him glory? Secular America has the opposite ideology! Evolution says there is no God therefore man exists for man! All of the lost destructive ideologies ever designed by man whether Marxism, Fascism, Nazism, Communism, Socialism were followers of Charles Darwin! Socialism promoted today in America is from the same foundation! We in the church serve man but only in relationship to God! Men left to themselves will sacrifice other men to achieve their political objective of making themselves God! We believe God sacrificed himself for the benefit of man! Just the opposite ideology! The consequences are also opposite! Life or death! Our earth is not for man but for God! God created it and us! We are responsible to God to maintain it! The non-existent God of the socialist is an idea that it is all on us! The crimes against men on earth must be punished by men! They replace God as judge and jury! We need carbon taxes! Consumption of gas and oil must stop! Global warming is the fault of men! Never mind the heating and cooling cycles God has built into our solar system! Who is responsible for the ice ages? Did cave men not build enough fires? Did you know if everyone in America had an electric car our electric grid could not handle it! We would have to have more power plants, transformers and power lines to support it! More carbon gases! More energy produced to support it! Solar can only support about one percent of our needs! God has given us energy gas, coal and oil to help us support our industrial production and heating and cooling needs! To understand God has given us all things then it is not all on us to punish men because our outcome is dependent on God and the wisdom through his Word to manage and run the affairs of men! King David was saying all things are a gift from God and we do not own them including the humanity we serve in his name and those in our church! If you love God you will love men! If you hate God you will hate men! Who do you exist for? For God or self? We have to remember not to forget our purpose especially in these troubling times! We will either promote God or self! This separates between true and idol worship! If you believe you are the solution to the world’s problems you will become the problem! If we trust God he will give us the wisdom to overcome all our problems because he already did that on the Cross! James & Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
