March Letter From the Editor
I wonder what people from March in the 1800s would think of if they looked at our society today. We joined Israel in starting a war against Iran in the past week. In addition, we have a new war between women - Candace Owens and Erika Kirk. Lastly, we have a complete ignoring of the fact that both Democrat and Republican leaders are part of a pedophile ring. Fighting over how some shouldn’t be punished just because of words they say out of their mouth - not the actions of the past that, according to Holy Scripture, do have consequences.
Do you remember the game Oregon Trail? You were basically pretending to live in the 1800s and the job was to live. In that game, you had the possibility of sickness and you watched what you ate to help you survive. You had to think ahead about the food you had to get at the nearest fort. Watching the weather helped you plan ahead for crossing rivers. Farming on the go was a necessity to survive.
What if we are looking at all these things and fighting the wrong battles? We were meant to fight more like Oregon Trail, but we’ve all made ourselves leaders, mostly with no experience, of world problems. First, the Bible commands us to attain a “quiet life”:
“ ...make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you…”
-1 Thess. 4:11-12
Our first order of business should be Oregon Trail style. Do we have everything we need to follow Christ, be able to provide for ourselves, and to care for our own households? The Bible also says:
“But those who won’t care for their relatives, especially those in their own household, have denied the true faith. Such people are worse than unbelievers.”
-1 Tim. 5:8
Notice that it doesn't say “those who go to war for their country, start a riot, or join a political party…” In today’s society, we’ve forgotten to prioritize the right things. That’s why we so heavily emphasize reading the Bible on Tirzah. If you are a female and haven’t joined The Tirzah Sisterhood, we’re reading through the Bible together. We can’t have true, Godly opinions to offer in this world of information if we don’t have the blueprints that God has given us for Godly living. The Bible says:
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places…”
-Eph. 6:12
When we understand this verse, arguments about world wars, corrupt leaders, and arguing about which woman is right in regards to the death of a man come into proper context. We remember that the Lord is control of this world. Our lives are temporary and we were first called to steward ourselves and our families.
In this same way, we recognize we have a sovereign God who sees evil and is a righteous judge. He will deal with all of these scenarios, so we don’t need to become stressed about how the story ends. God knew beforehand that a war would come. He is Sovereign. Only God knows the hearts of women that are being called “demonic” by random people (both of these women are unfortunately being called demonic and the whole situation is unfortunate and a sign that we need Godly men to rise up and protect women) and sometimes, we have to watch things play out and pray for all parties involved. Lastly, God saw every deed being committed in every single page of the Epstein files. God is righteous. He is holy. While He is the God who loves us, He is also the God who reigns righteous judgment. A God who destroyed an entire city for this level of wickedness and who flooded the earth for the wickedness that was being committed. Whether or not people mete out justice here on Earth, God will deal with them for eternity.
Take heart and do not despair. Focus on the good plans God has called you to and the people He has placed in your life. The Bible promises that God will handle everything. I’m, personally, very unhappy with Christians who are publicly claiming that because of political parties or current actions, justice should not happen in regards to every single politician who was involved in Epstein. I question how you can claim America is a “Godly” nation while refusing to recognizing that we’re the number one consumers of sex trafficking and calling illegals evil while ignoring all of our own sins. This is not an attack on anyone, but my own personal struggle that I deal with. However, I remind myself of the things I said above and focus on where God has me and what He wants of me. I pray you are able to keep your eyes fixed on the King and what He has for you as well.
