This sermon emphasizes the importance of not forgetting the innocent bloodshed and the consequences of a nation turning away from God's covenant mercies. It warns against being divorced from God and His covenant, highlighting the need for nations to remember God to avoid destruction. The message stresses the idea that there is no neutral ground in the spiritual battle, quoting Jesus' words that one is either for Him or against Him, with no middle ground.

Jeremiah the prophet, the second chapter, speaks for God. He reminds you of the blood of the poor innocents. And it will not be forgotten. It will not be forgotten. 47 million. Here, you probably heard the news reports and the attorney general, the area is looking at what's happening, I believe, in Kansas City. The same thing is happening in English hospitals all the time, where children who are within hours or days of a natural and full-term birth are being butchered, murdered, murdered. The British Medical Association has gone on record as saying that even after the doctors have done their best to murder them, these children often come into the world and they're still alive. And the doctor who has sworn that he'll give himself to health and healing has to take that infant and kill it again. Kill it again. See, I want to tell you no nation, not even with the resources of this nation, not even with the wealth of this nation, and the armies and the weapons of this nation, not any nation can long survive with such shameful wickedness upon its skirts. But on top of all that, there's one thing in our Bible reading that I'm sure you noticed that will enable us to discern the crowning sin of those nations whose voices we now hear from hell. Verse 19, 21, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 30, 32, there is this reference to the uncircumcised. The uncircumcised. And without getting into all the details, the evident meaning is we're dealing with people who had no interest in God's covenant mercies and so they perished. In the case of this nation, these voices from hell and what they have to say to America today is that if you're divorced from God and you're divorced from His covenant and you're cut off from the mercies of His covenant, you're in trouble, big time. Remember the words of the 9th Psalm and the 17th verse? It's a scary, scary proposition. The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. The nations that forget God. I am not going to get into the thorny issue of church and state tonight. There's a whole lot more to be said on that issue than most American Christians imagine. But we have a generation even among Bible believers who have so bought in to the secular definition of separation of church and state that they believe that it is wrong even to have any concept of the state supporting or the state admitting or the state establishing or the state looking favorably upon what is good and what is godly. I want you to stop and think for a minute. I'm not advocating that the American government establish the Free Presbyterian Church as the state national religion. I'm not advocating I would run a million miles from that, to be quite honest. Nothing would destroy us more quickly. What I'm saying to you is this. There's no neutral ground. Let's understand this. There is no such thing as being neutral in the great war with God. Jesus said it. Don't take my word. Jesus said it. You're either for me or you're against me. That's not clear. You're for me or you're against me. No middle ground. I've often reminded you of a meeting of pastors in Chicago that I attended when I was not long in the United States. These were leading fundamental pastors and good men. One and all good men. Dr. Bob Jr. was the chairman of that meeting and they sat around. I felt really out of my depth because it was a large hotel and I wasn't used to this little fella from Ulster. I wasn't used to anything like the grandeur of these meetings but I was there. Why I was there I have no idea but I was there. And they were discussing the moral majority and Jerry Falwell's activities at that time. Now there was a whole lot wrong with the concept of the moral majority but the constant criticism that was being picked up against Dr. Falwell and his moral majority was that they were seeking to legislate morality. And of course that's wrong. And the pastors were drawing up a resolution against legislating morality. And I'm sitting there saying you know I know I'm only a country bumpkin. I know I'm only in from Northern Ireland but am I really hearing what I'm hearing? Are all these learned men are they all going crazy? And so I said to the preacher beside me whom I knew I said you better speak up here. He says why? I said well I mean do you want the government to legislate immorality? You're either going to legislate morality or you're going to legislate immorality. You're either going to legislate the murder of the unborn or the protection of the unborn. You're either going to legislate sodomy or you're going to legislate what the bible says against sodomy. There's no middle ground here. So I said do you really want the government to legislate immorality? He said no. I said well then you better speak up because if these fellas put this resolution through they're gonna condemn the government and those who would ask them to legislate morality. I want the government to legislate moral and righteous laws. I want that and the closer they get to the divine standard of the law of God and everything moral the happier I'll be. And so he did speak up. I know some of you will not find it easy to believe.
