Raising The Standard - Dr. Terry L. Booher

Raising The Standard - finished and ready to mail to you a book from a sermon preached by the late Dr. Terry L. Booher, who was the Pastor and founder of Faith Baptist Church in Fort Pierce, FL for over 40 years.  The following is a portion of this book.

Isaiah 59:19, “So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun,  When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.”

"It’s time we raise the banner up. And quit this pacifism ideology and quit being so casual. I’m not a rebel rouser, and I don’t want to be a war monger. But too many of us have just set back and said, “Well, I probably shouldn’t say anything about that.” Well, maybe we should say something about it. Maybe we ought to just stand up and say, “Look, No! Absolutely, positively, No! You are not going to do that in this church, not in this family, not in this home, not with my kids, not with my life. NO! You’re not going to do it.”

And so Isaiah said, “When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.”  Let’s raise that standard high for the Lord.  Keep that standard high so the enemy cannot wreck havoc in our lives, our homes, our families and our churches."

 

Raising the standard.  In our Christian lives, homes, workplace, and in our country.  How sad to see how far God is going to allow the people of our great nation to go in their depravity and rebellion against Him - but be assured - He is coming back and His hand will stay the world.  Let us be about His business as we strive to raise the standard as He would have us to do.

  

God is good all the time, and everywhere!
