The last four letters of the word "AMERICAN" are "I-CAN" not "I-RAN"!
It seems our country's Christian computer users are divided into two groups: the "I-CANS" and the "I-RANS"! For too many years in America the Christian computer users have been "I-RANS". They "RUN" from dealing with sin on the internet that concerns us as Christians. They would "RUN" from implementing innovative tools to win the sinner on the internet. They "RUN" from the need to reach those who are searching for satisfaction through: pornography, homosexuality, sexual promiscuity, secular rock music, drugs, drunkenness, sorcery and witchcraft.
Too many spiritual voices on the internet have "RUN" from taking a stand on the moral issues. Either they don't know exactly what to do or they have been brain washed by the liberal news media and made to believe that certain issues are political and a "man of the cloth" should not get involved in "politics"!
But praise God, we have a growing breed of Christian "INTERNET I-CANS"!
"I-CAN" and I must stand up and call sin on the internet by its first name!
"I-CAN" and I must reach out to lost people who are filling their hearts and minds with pornography!
"I-CAN" and I must reach the homosexual with the message of God's love and deliverance from their perverted lifestyle!
"I-CAN" and I must tell people the truth about "safe sex" according to God's Word. God requires for us to live a sexually pure life!
"I-CAN" and I must reach young ladies considering "abortion", or who have already had an "abortion", with a message of LIFE and forgiveness!
I-CAN" and I must reach young people who are experimenting with or involved in "sorcery and witchcraft" to let them know the dangerous and deadly road they are traveling. Revelation 21:8
"I-CAN" and I must, in love, warn teenagers of the dangers of filling their hearts and minds with the rebellion that "secular rock music" is made up of! ANY music that conveys a message in opposition to God’s Word is not healthy.
"I-CAN" and I must reach the drug dealer, the drug addict and the alcoholic searching for peace through a temporary high and let them know that Jesus is the answer!
"I-CAN" and I must "tell it like it is" and then "tell it like it should be" in this computer age of internet pornography, promiscuity and pleasure seeking!
For far too long, to many Christian internet users have been passive in dealing with many of these moral issues, believing that "Silence is Golden". But thank God, more and more of God's servants now realize that "Silence is not always Golden", it can also be down right "yellow"!
Christians must get involved in dealing with sin on the internet that is destroying the soul of our nation. If we don't get involved we are traveling down the middle of the highway and could get hit from both sides. The only thing that I have found in the middle of the highway is a yellow line, dead skunks and luke-warm church leaders who refuse to take a stand on the hot issues of our day. The middle of the highway is a dangerous place to travel for man or beast and the consequences are many times fatal! I believe the hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in an hour of national crisis, are unwilling to take a stand.
Our nation has so many Christian "INTERNET I-RANS" on the computer, not willing to confront the sin, that a deep spiritual erosion of our traditional values has resulted. While America played, satanic forces, hatched in hell, are filling the internet on all fronts.
More than sixty percent of the internet is made up of pornography. America's consumers spend more money on pornography internet than any other nation on the face of the earth.
The current sinful developments on the internet should compel us all to stand up and speak out or we too will end up in the devil's junk pile.
WHAT CAN THE RIGHTEOUS DO?
The Psalmist cried out, "If the foundation be destroyed, what can the righteous do? (Psalms 11:3)
God spoke it bluntly to the Prophet Ezekiel: He declared, "Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word of my mouth, and give them warning from me. When I say unto the wicked, thou shalt surely die; and thou givest them not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity, BUT HIS BLOOD WILL I REQUIRE AT THINE HAND. Yet if thou shall warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou has delivered thy soul! (Ezekiel 3:17-19)
God made it very plain... "Warn the wicked of their wicked way" or their blood drips from our hands! Warn the wicked of their wicked ways or I will hold you responsible for what they are doing! That's mighty strong! Our God makes it abundantly clear... I believe He expects us to be "WEBSITE WATCHMEN"!
I believe a "COMPUTER USING CHRISTIAN AMERICAN" should be an "INTERNET I-CAN" not an "INTERNET I-RAN"..."WEBSITE WATCHMEN", directing lost men, women and young people to find Jesus Christ through the truthforyouth.com! Help us, "cast our net on the internet"! You will know the truth and the truth will set you free. (John 8:32) May God richly bless you!
