CLEANSING OUR HOMES
In the Basic Seminar of the Institute in Basic Life Principles, Bill Gothard points out how we must "cleanse our homes" of abominations. He mentions rock 'n' roll records, pornography, and little Buddha statues ( or other pagan "art" from Third World nations). In the case of pagan art, he believes that these pieces of "art" can be used by Satan as channels of financial cursing and destructive character habits. These objects must be taken out of the house and burned.
I believe Satan has been bound. I don't think Satan's devices would be this simplistic anyway.
I think Gothard has overlooked the most prevelant ambomination in American culture. The State has been giving away abominable "art" objects for decades. Anyone willing to go into debt can get an agency of the federal government to create their "fair share." It is a satanic bribe. It is a trap. God's Word is inescapably clear:
Deuteronomy 25:13-15
Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small. {14} Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small. {15} But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have; that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
The implications of these verses are staggering.
God is shortening our days because we claim that economics is "neutral." We allow the State's "experts" to overrule the clear teachings of the Bible. We even allow them to overrule the clear teaching of the U.S. Constitution, which forbids making anything but gold and silver a tender in payment of debts. We must cleanse our homes of the abominable currency of the pagan, Humanistic State. Doing so will expose our own indebtedness, our own covetousness, our complacent, self-serving application of God's Law, our idolatrous trust in the State for "financial security," and our failure to avoid being conformed to the world (Romans 12:1-2). Transformation of our lives and culture by the Holy Spirit can then begin.
Study this issue carefully. You will be surprised.
