Scripture: Judges 3:5-7

                Judges 3:5-7 says, “Thus the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons; and they served their gods. So the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD. They forgot the LORD their God, and served the Baals and Asherahs.”  Any generation that is not willing to go to war ends up submitting to the culture around it.  When a nation that covenants with God submits to the culture around it, it transgresses the covenant.  Breaking the covenant opens the door to the judicial side of Deuteronomy 28:15-68 where God begins to war against that country.  In that place, only the church can stand up and redirect the war to destroy the perpetrators.  To save the culture, we must move God’s Hand against those within the culture who are polluting it.  Unless the church is willing to stand up against the evil in our culture, then we will lose our freedom as God wars against our nation.  The national cup of iniquity is rising toward fullness and has been in that position for a number of years.  The real question is, will the church go to war to preserve the land?  Is it not time to move forth with that war-cry in prayer?
