10/08/21 OUR WORLD IS BEYOND BAILING

If your boat starts to take on water (for whatever reason) your first action will be to get the water out of the boat (bailing) and finding where the water is getting into the boat. If you see that your boat is in danger you prepare your people for survival and you continue to bail. When you see that all is lost and the vessel cannot be saved you prepare to abandon ship or you abandon ship.

Today people are trying to bail out the Titanic with a thimble, in the midst of a typhoon, when they should be manning the life boats or standing on the deck singing, "Nearer My God To Thee."

It is time for Christians to quit trying to save the Ship of State and instead put your energy into rescuing the perishing, throw out the lifeline, shove into the breakers to reach the lost, get folks aboard The Old Ship of Zion (salvation, the church).

This world, including Western civilization, is sinking fast and the Church needs to Launch Out to rescue those lost in the sea of sin and corruption. Some who call themselves Christians are either whining over their lost loves and dreams or they are seeking a safe harbor rather than obey God. However, the call of God is to abandon this evil system and rescue the lost. The self sacrificial truth is summed up in a famous saying of the U.S. Life-Saving Service,"
"You have to go out, you don't have to come back."
