It is Scripture which says, \u201cHis watchmen are \u2026 all dumb dogs, they cannot bark \u2026 \u201d (Isaiah 56:10). What a terrific indictment! Of what value is a \u201cdumb dog\u201d when danger is near and those in peril are not warned?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who are God\u2019s watchmen? Every Christian leader, every Christian worker, every missionary of the cross, every pastor, evangelist, Bible teacher, heads of Bible institutes, editors of Christian papers, and all true Christians are God\u2019s appointed watchmen. God commands that they \u201cCry aloud, spare not\u2026 \u201d (Isaiah 58:1). But who today is doing this? Who is laying the needs of this fateful hour to heart? Who is sounding the alarm in Zion and blowing the trumpet in God\u2019s holy hill? Through the lips of Jeremiah, the Lord says, \u201d \u2026 the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart\u201d (Jeremiah 12:11). This is God\u2019s indictment upon us today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
America-A Vast Sodom and Gomorrah<\/p>\n\n\n\n
America is facing the greatest crisis of her history. People must be shocked and shaken loose from their deadly lethargy. The church and the nation must be aroused to instant action!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the church was aroused by the preaching of such men as Jonathan Edwards, Peter Cartwright, Sam Jones, and Billy Sunday mighty wrongs were righted. Because of their bold and fearless denunciations against the sins of the people, the towers of iniquity tumbled into the dust. Today we need to pray for fearless, spiritual, God appointed leaders in church and nation to clean up our cities, and hurl anathemas against the liquor traffic and a thousand other evils which threaten our very existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sound An Alarm<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let us quit the \u201cPilate act\u201d of trying to wash our hands of the responsibility of crying out against the sinfulness of this generation! America is being driven by the forces of Hell. These forces must be checked and challenged by the forces of righteousness. America must be shaken to a deep consciousness of its need of God by God\u2019s watchmen crying out and lashing out against the spiritual and social iniquities of this hour!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
God\u2019s watchmen may be alarmists. They may be extreme in their stand. They may be too loud, but their message is as necessary as a burglar alarm when thieves are busy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brethren, let us hear and heed the Word of the Lord! He commands His watchmen to \u201cCry aloud \u2026 \u201d (Isaiah 58:1), and not be \u201d \u2026 dumb dogs \u2026 \u201d (Isaiah 56:1 0). We may say it is no concern of ours; we fool ourselves, but we do not fool God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is my affair, and it is your affair! We think someone ought to do something about conditions- but not me! Oh, hear the Word of the Lord! \u201cCry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression \u2026 \u201d (Isaiah 58:1). Cry aloud, then! Warn the people of impending judgment. Call them to repentance. Be no longer on of Satan\u2019s \u201cdumb dogs.\u201d Be a trumpet for God!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBlow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm \u2026 \u201d (Joel 2: 1) \u201cBlow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children \u2026 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep \u2026let them say, Spare my people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach \u2026 Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto His people \u2026 I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen: But I will remove far off from you the northern army \u2026 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten \u2026 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh \u2026 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered \u2026 \u201d (Joel2: 15-32).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
