Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson starred in the 1989 Batman movie. Michael Keaton
played Bruce Wayne/Batman and Jack Nicholson played Jack Napier/the Joker.When Bruce Wayne was a child,
his parents were robbed and murdered by a younger Jack Napier and his buddies. Napier
didn’t murder young Wayne but as he left the child standing in the street he
said to him, “Ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?”
Those words have always
stayed with me, and they grow stronger and louder every day that I look around
and witness this country being destroyed by socialist thugs. In my opinion, we
are so far gone there is no turning back. Satan has painted a masterpiece in
the artwork of the damned.
For several years now we have
been dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight. He came to us, asked for our
hand on the dance floor, and we readily obliged. This conniving genius of evil
has filled our hearts with his own triune recipe of a god. We have eagerly
accepted his god, and under the pale light of the moon we dance to his music.
Strangely enough, Satan’s
message hasn’t changed a bit. It is still the same ole claptrap he sold Eve in
the Garden of Eden. (Genesis 3:1-5)
He got her thinking of
pleasing herself (humanism). Then he got her mind on things that could please
her, in this case the forbidden fruit (materialism). Lastly, he had her
thinking of the pleasure the fruit would bring her (hedonism). There you have
the triune god of hell: humanism (love of self), materialism (love of things)
and hedonism (love of pleasure).
Is it any different today? It
is the same old package. Satan even uses the same wrapping paper, ribbons and
bows. Nothing has changed.
We, the citizens of the
United States of America (generally speaking of course), are for self, things
and pleasure … humanism, materialism, and hedonism. All we can think about is,
“I want that because it will give me pleasure.” We carry armloads of pleasurers
in the front door, while Satan hauls our freedoms out the back door.
Christianity is exactly the
opposite. In Christianity (TRUE Christianity), we set our minds upon Jesus our
Savior, not self. We accept His will, not things, to please us. Our pleasure
comes in being obedient to His will.
With Satan’s triune god, all
the focus is on us, things to please us, and our pleasure. With the triune God
of Heaven our focus is upon God … the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
·
God the Father
gave His Son that we might be saved.
·
God the Son paid
our sin debt.
·
God the Holy
Spirit guides us to the Son and keeps those who believe.
The love of God grows within
us and we love our neighbor in turn. We begin taking our mind off us and thinking
of others. We want others to know Christ.
·
Humanism stokes
the selfishness that already exists within us.
·
Materialism gives
us quick sugar highs and crushing disappointments.
·
Hedonism gives us
a pleasure that never satisfies.
If there is any wisdom at
all; you must admit that we are a nation of selfish, materialistic, pleasure
seeking people. We just can’t seem to get enough of Satan’s “freedom” to do as
we please.
Every sin known to man is
prevalent in this country, boiling over into the lives of millions. Even the
churches are not exempt. Most churches in this country are a blight upon
humanity, and are just as infested with sin as the world they have allowed to
come in.
I am reminded of King
Belshazzar who God gave a message by writing it on the wall of his palace
(Daniel 5). I wonder each day, “Is it today that God will say “Enough?”” He
closed the curtain on King Belshazzar. Do we REALLY think we can get by with
thumbing our nose at God?
There are perverse atrocities
taking place in this country that I would have never dreamed in a thousand
years would come to our shores. Yet, here we are. There are no longer just a
few rotten apples in the bushel; nearly all the apples are rotten to the core.
Decent Americans are having
the excrement from this triune god being shoved down their throats and told to
like it. The world speaks of love, but vomits out hate.
We are sheep being led to the
slaughter and most don’t even know it. They just keep dancing with the devil in
the pale moonlight.
Satan is the god of this
world, and his message has been infused into the hearts of all mankind, not
just Eve. Satan’s religion has tickled the fancy of most in our society. They
come out of the closets. They silence the pulpits. They murder the young. They
open the restrooms. They use others to steal, kill and destroy in advancing
their cause, but payday is coming. The Lord Jesus Christ is coming soon, and then
they will run like scurrying roaches when the lights are turned on.
The masses in our land have
given themselves over to the ideas of this triune god of the land. Selfishness,
materialism and pleasure are at an all-time high. As long as their itch is
scratched, they don’t care that their soul is being drawn away from the one
true Trinity of Heaven.
I heard just a few minutes
ago that the governor of California is mandating that churches not meet and there
be no in-home Bible studies, but it’s still okay to riot, pillage and destroy.
Most of our leadership
(political, religious, etc.) is so rotten they seem to have already sold their
souls to the Devil. They have no true affection for anyone but themselves. Sadly,
most of the populace don’t seem to care as long as they get something in
return.
The Hallmark channel we
thought would stay the course of decency has now stated it will provide
homosexual entertainment. As Ruth Graham once said, “If God doesn’t judge
America; He will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.”
The handwriting is on the
wall. We must decide now who we are going to follow. Do we dance with the devil
in the pale moonlight, or do we walk hand in hand with the Lord Jesus Christ in
the New Jerusalem?
