Dial Daily Bread

Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":

Ex-president Jimmy Carter has just published his first “political” book in which he very frankly criticizes the way this nation is going in supporting pre-emptive war and torture—both of very un-American character.

 

It’s difficult not to believe that God has blessed this man in his ex-presidency. (He confesses that he is a better ex-president than he was a president! But with that smile.)

 

All three of the prominent presidential figures (Bush, Carter, Clinton) need to be informed about what the Bible calls “the everlasting gospel.” Granted, they are all extremely busy, occupied men; who can get them to sit down and patiently listen to what Romans and Revelation say? And who has the wisdom to tell it in a way that they can understand its relationship to the Constitution and the history, past and future, of this Republic?

 

The Lord Jesus made it plain that the time will come when unworthy “we” will “be brought before governors and kings.... for a testimony” (Matt. 10:18). Voices we have always thought will never be more than a pipsqueak “in the wilderness” will be heard from the housetops when “governors and kings” hear the echo of the voice of Christ in ours.

 

Are we ready to be the agents? The answer is no, never—UNLESS self is crucified with Christ. And that experience can be ours only if we “comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height.... [of] the love [agape] of Christ”(Eph. 3:18). All this means that the one greatest need of the “remnant church” is to humble our hearts and understand what is the gospel of the message of Christ’s righteousness. There will be great humbling of hearts on the part of all who remain faithful and true to the end.
