FROM WHENCE COME WARS? Scripture: “From whence come wars and fightings among you?

| Come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members,” (James 4:1).

AS WE think of the fact that the Lord spared our godly Puritan forefathers of a major war from the time they settled in Jamestown, Virginia until the Revolutionary War, then 90 years between the Revolutionary War and the Cjvil War which ended in 1865; 50 years until World War 1; only 20 years more until World War II, and now in five years another war may be in the making,

it is time we should look deeply into the cause of war. When Israel became wicked, the Lord even told

take them into captivity. There is a good parallel between the Thirteen Original Colonies founded for religious freedom and the Twelve Tribes of the Children of Israel. When Israel cried unto the Lord in repentance, “He delivered them.” Now, in the light of this text, let us look ourselves honestly in the face. Time and again in the hours of their crises or calamities, the Lord rebuked Israel for not regarding “My Sabbaths,” They certainly could not be guilty than we are in Christian America. We are shocked, and alarmed at the number of super-markets and other places of business which are staying open unnecessarily on Sunday. Policemen tell us that by far the major number of our crimes are committed on the week-end. Statistics show that over 50 per the American people do attend church

anywhere. In other words, only in America do we find multitudes of people who do not worship any god except the dollar and pleasure in general. Even in heathen countries, have some form of worship. We have tried to laugh sobriety and modesty out of court and forgotten the fact that “righteousness exaiteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.” If you read a recent article in Reader's Digest on the “Twilight . of Honor” you were shocked at the amount of political corruption and fraud in our government circles. Truly the Scripture says "When the wicked rule, the people mourn.”

But, before we charge them too | let us remember that | they are the products and fruits | of our own ungodliness and un- !

to the creation of this world ‘and the creation of mankind, We have substituted “Thus saith man” for "Thus saith the Lord,” therefore, are we seeing the words of Psalms 2: 4, 5 come to pass “He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: The Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall He speak unto them in His wrath and vex them in His sore displeasure.” We have not successfully sidetracked the Lord, nor His Word in our indifference. He is simply letting us reap the seed we have sown.

If you will read the first part |

of this fourth chapter of James, you will find him to be like a Surgeon ¢ diagnosing t the cases of |

sick patients and then he comes | “Draw nigh to God and He will draw nigh to |

you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye doubleminded. Be afflicted,

and mourn, and weep: Let your laughter be turned into mourn- | ing and your joy into heaviness. |
