Some of our readers may have wondered why I have been reposting blogs. Our Ministry has been suffering great satanic opposition that has included the sudden disappearance of a Web Site that formerly hosted The Strong Man Of God Blog from May 2011 through January 2014. Another question others may have concerns the origin of the line, “The risen, living Christ continues His cry among American churches, ‘Who is on the Lord’s side?’” which periodically concludes my blogs. With great soberness not only do I share with you in all candor that the Lord Jesus spoke that question into my spirit, but also in this blog, I present the biblical and spiritual circumstances that led to it.
Before and since beginning to write an internet blog, I have been writing a commentary for our Strong Man Of God Monthly Newsletter, a print publication Strong Man Ministries publishes. In prayerfully seeking the Lord for the subject and content of the December 2010 issue, He took me to Exodus 32 and led me to write the words that are the specific content of this and the next two blogs. I invite you as Scripture does to judge whether I truly speak from the Lord’s heart, mouth and written Word seeing that I have found no reason to be ashamed of or edit what I previously wrote except for greater grammatical accuracy (Deuteronomy 18:15-22; 1 Thessalonians 5:20-22). In the event you have not noticed as a regular reader, I fear God!
Originally Published December 2010
History is an excellent teacher when men are wise enough to learn the lessons it offers. For example, the Old Testament is filled with historical lessons individual Christians and our churches are even told by the apostle Paul were written for us to take warning (1 Corinthians 10:1-11). But from the highly compromised spiritual state so many American churches are in, it is very apparent the warning of Paul and Israel's Old Testament experiences are going unheeded. Indeed, spiritual adultery is so brazen and prolific the time has come to echo the cry of a righteously indignant Moses throughout the land, "Whoever is on the Lord's side--come to me," (Exodus 32:26, NKJV)!
The voice echoing Moses is that of the Lord Jesus Christ delivered by His faithful prophets and church pastors; men who are God rather than people pleasers. Men unlike Aaron who after Moses had gone up on the mountain to God, listened to the people to make them a god that would go out before them (Exodus 32:1-6). This took place after just a scant forty days had gone by when Aaron and all the people had heard the very voice of God commanding them to neither put any god before Him or make an image of anything and bow to it. But there it was, a golden calf that the people bowed to and indulged themselves in pagan revelry to honor (Exodus 32:7-20).
When Moses returned he demanded to know what the people had done to Aaron to make him bring this sin on them. After first blaming the people for the evil in their hearts, Aaron then wants Moses to believe he cast their gold into the fire and magically the idol appeared (Exodus 32:21-24). Before you laugh, realize that is exactly the same kind of tall tale many pastors are telling each other today. They have to give the people what they want even if it means compromising God's Word or the people bent on evil will leave. The Lord Jesus who died to redeem sinners is not buying it and in righteous indignation is about to deal severely with American churches (Revelation 2:12-17).
Before that day very near, the Lord is crying out among us to find out who is on His side? Who is that servant that has remained faithful while the Lord Jesus like Moses has been away on Heaven's mountain with the Father; the servant who understands the local church is not his personal kingdom to rule as he sees fit, but a stewardship responsibility for which he will give an account (Matthew 24:45-51)? When Moses cried out for the people to take sides, only his brethren of the tribe of Levi answered the call to be on the Lord’s side. They went through the camp slaying those that continued in rebellion even after Moses had destroyed the idol (Exodus 32:25-29).
For those with ears and will hear, the strong man of God cause is bound up in the Lord's call to His people at this hour to take sides. Of the many golden calves American churches have built, compromising God's Word on the family, male and female roles in the home and churches is especially wicked. They have given heed to the world and corrupted God's Word to support this idol as did Aaron (Exodus 32:5). Churches, aiding and abetting Satan in destroying humanity's God ordained foundation: families and the men who lead them! Let every man who fears the Lord and is guilty repent while His mercy is still near.
Let every pastor who is guilty repent and issue the Lord's cry to His people you have been entrusted to shepherd and supposedly love. Destroy the golden calves of compromise with the world in your midst. For the destroying angels of God's judgment have already unsheathed their swords and are about to move among the churches to deliver His great displeasure. It is certain; it is done because Christ has already made atonement for the sins of the guilty that have looked to Him. But the rebels who continue defiantly in their way will be plagued by the Lord (Exodus 32:30-35). Who will learn from Bible history and be on the Lord’s side? Let him come to the Lord right now!

Today through Sunday is always renewing for me as I rehearse again in my memory the events leading up to the death, burial and resurrection of my Lord, Jesus Christ. His death on the cross, of course, is a major focus of these three days because through it He purchased my divine pardon from sin and death. I grieve because my sins (and yours) put Him on that cross. It should have been me being punished for my own sins. But in love, He took my place.
Come Sunday morning, I rejoice because the resurrection of my Lord certifies the acceptance of His sacrifice by the Father and the hope of my own bodily resurrection He promised all who believe on Him for salvation. I also rejoice because I became a believer and was born again on Resurrection Sunday 1977. It is my spiritual birthday!! Because of all of the foregoing and more, I serve my Lord with my whole heart, waiting eagerly in all devotion for His appearing (Galatians 2:20; Titus 2:11-14). Glory To God!
I have written this blog for today, Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday! My next blog will be posted on Sunday, April 12th. Have a blessed Resurrection Sunday celebration!
