Total Truth – Responsibility
“But if the watchman sees the enemy coming and doesn’t sound the alarm to warn the people, he is responsible for their captivity. They will die in their sins, but I will hold the watchman responsible for their deaths.” Ezekiel 33:6 As I look at what is happening in our world today, I feel that unless we return to God we are doomed. My personal devotions are in Jeremiah. What we see in Jeremiah and all the minor prophets is how God spoke to the nation of Israel. If we read and study these books, God will show us what is happening in America. To me reading these books is like reading the newspaper every morning. These books tell us what will happen to us unless we turn to God, not just any god, but the true God of the Bible. God is trying to speak to us today but we are not listening. “From the day your ancestors left Egypt until now, I have continued to send my servants, the prophets—day in and day out. But my people have not listened to me or even tried to hear. They have been stubborn and sinful—even worse than their ancestors.” (Jeremiah 7:25-26) If we are a true disciple of Jesus Christ, we cannot sit back and allow our nation to fall. We must warn others of what is coming. If we continue to reject God and what He is telling us, it is our responsibility to shout out the warning.
