One of the popular hymns of our day is entitled, “In Christ Alone.” The lyrics, written by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend, express the theological truths of the life, death, and saving power of Christ through His death on the cross.
Some liberal denominations object to the line in the song that says, “Till on that cross as Jesus died, the wrath of God was satisfied.” They can’t (or won’t) accept the fact that Jesus’ death on the cross was to satisfy God’s righteous anger against OUR sin. They want to change the line to read, “Till on that cross as Jesus died, the love of God was magnified.”
I’m thankful they haven’t changed it, for to have done so would have negated the essential doctrine of our salvation, for had the wages for our sins that God had established, not been paid by the shed blood of His Son, we would still be lost and looking for a Savior.
We will explain this further in our next sermon from the gospel of Mark, “The Certainty of Jesus’ Crucifixion .”

Pastor Wayne writes:
Dear Fellow Watchmen,
“If I understand this correctly: If a shooter has right-wing views, then the right’s rhetoric is responsible. If the shooter has left-wing views, then the right’s policies are responsible. Very convenient.” Daily Houck retweeted a tweet by @AGHamilton29
Interpretation: “Every Christian now has a target on their backs. We will be blamed for all of the unrest within the nation, just as our brothers and sisters were blamed for the burning of Rome. The harder we work to recover our moral standards, the more those standards will be blamed for the violence of those who reject them, and we now know the extent to which they are prepared to go to protect their freedom to sin, and to force others to accept their views.” Pastor Wayne
In his 1958 book, “The Naked Communist,” Cleon Skousen identified 45 Communist goals. The first was to gain control of schools to break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography, obscenity, degeneracy and promiscuity. For America to fall, the traditional family has to be destroyed, and homosexuality is the means. Students are taught that being gay or transgender is normal – “everyone’s doing it.” The Bible is discredited, and prayer and religious expressions in public schools are banned. Christianity has been replaced by secularism. Students are taught to disrespect their parents.
In the U.S., the first “Guidelines for Comprehensive Sexuality Education, Kindergarten-12th Grade” were published in 1991. In 2011 the National Sexuality Education Standards were adopted by more than 40% of school districts. In 2020 these were replaced by the far more radical National Sex Education Standards developed by a coalition of left-wing nonprofits. The standards specifically defy parental authority.
