Standing For The Truth In A Woke And Cancelled Culture

Standing For The Truth In A

Woke and Cancelled Culture

Psalm 11:1-3

This is a very important interesting psalm. Let’s walk through these three verses together.

V-1 What David Should Do – have courage to stay and stand.

V-2 What The Enemy Does – the wicked are attacking the righteous.

V-3 What Can The Righteous Do – if the foundations are being destroyed. We can stand for the truth no matter what the cost may be.

Think about the foundations around us today that are being destroyed by a Woke and Cancelled Culture.

** Family Values Father, Mother, Children. The family as God design.

** Faith in the Foundation of our Nation – no Bible, no Christ, no not even the 10 commandments in our court houses.

** Fidelity that is Reliability, faithfulness

** Financial Stability

** Future of Hope for our children and grandchildren

John Phillips in his commentary on Psalm 11:3 says; "If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?" David cried. The word "foundations" comes from a Hebrew word meaning "the settled order of things." David likened society to a building. The foundation of society is law and order, justice and truth. If law and order, justice and truth are undermined in a society then what can the righteous do? In the original text the form of the question is such that David can find no answer.

These are the very foundations which are being destroyed in western society today. Law, order, truth, justice, morality, decency, integrity. Humanist and woke crowd views prevail in our schools, our courts, our government, and in the media. A determined attack is being mounted against everything decent, moral, and Christian in our society. The foundations are being destroyed to make room for the coming reign of the man of sin.” Who will be the anti-christ

Beloved make no mistake the foundations of our nation and culture are being destroyed by a Woke Culture as we are living in the last days before the midnight cry. This in not just my opinion but recently Franklin Graham spoke on May 22, 2023 to the National Religious Broadcasters convention in Orlando, Florida.

Franklin Graham said:

“I believe there is a coming storm that we all need to be ready for,The world has deteriorated so quickly. We cannot be deceived and we can’t be fooled. We need to get ready and be prepared.”

Graham said believers in the United States are “living in a cancel culture that wants to destroy Christian organizations,” adding that “we cannot back up, we can’t retreat, don’t apologize for the Gospel — just declare it, just preach it.”

“They want us to shut our mouths, they don’t want to hear from us. If you're not going to preach the Gospel, you don't have anything to worry about,” he said.

“If you’re not going to talk about sin, you’re not going to have anything to worry about; but if you’re going to proclaim the Gospel, they’re going to try to shut you up.”

Franklin Graham spoke earlier on May 19th at the graduation at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA and said to the graduates: that “this class will stand for truth,” noting that “our world is changing.”

“It has changed so much, just in the time since you set foot on this campus a few years ago,” said Graham. “Think how much it has changed. The increase in violence, the moral decline.”

“I can’t help but think that the heart of God is grieved as He looks at our world today. Our country. Oh, I love our country, but it's in a downward spiral morally, spiritually, economically, politically.”

Graham went on to say that he believed the nation was “in a freefall” because the country had “turned our back on God and His truth,” urging the graduates to be a “beacon of light,” “standing on the Word of God” while living in “a culture of confusion and lies.”

Graham declared that “the Bible doesn’t contain truth, it is the truth,” adding that “every Word of God is true” and that “truth is not what you say it is, truth is what God says it is.”

Graham quoted John 14:6, “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me,’” explaining to those gathered that “Jesus is not a way to God, He is the way to God.”

“Many churches today have compromised on the authority and truth of God’s holy word. Many of our politicians and leaders have bought into the lies of culture and the woke ideology,” Graham warned.

“The world wants you to believe that we are more than just male and female, that we can be transgender, whatever we choose to identify as. That’s a lie. It’s just a lie from Hell.”
