Us & God

Some of us have been fighting the wrong battle. We have been trying to turn America around when we should have been working on turning the church around. We have been trying to turn America around without turning the church around first. America is off track because the church is off track.

I hear many Christians "claiming scripture". They "claim" scriptures about healing, deliverance or blessing. They act as though if they "claim" a scripture that  God will then act on their behalf to bring about whatever it is that they are seeking. I wonder why no one ever "claims" this verse:  Matthew 19:21 New King James Version (NKJV) 21  Jesus said to him,   “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

Sure your preacher preaches scripture straight from the Bible but does the preaching agree with the whole Bible?

Do you read your Bible or do you study your Bible? Do you study your Bible or do you study what someone else says about the Bible?

Now that I have your attention, let me explain. This is not an atheistic rant. God did not build America. God did not just wake up one morning and decide that He was going to build a great Christian nation. Men (in the general mankind sense, so as not to offend the feminist Christians) built America. Albeit with God's help and blessing but men had to work hard, give their time their money and even their lives to build America. God is not going to fix America. Almost all I hear from Christians in America is talk of prayer for America. I hear almost no talk of Christians getting involved and working to fix the problems in America. God is not going to wake up one morning and decide to magically fix all of America's problems. We are going to have to fix America! When Christians get off of their pews and start working to fix America then I have every confidence that God will step in and bless our efforts and help us get the job done.  God is not going to do it for you. If al...

As I have written before, Christianity, if you look at the numbers, is a majority in America. Yet these days Christians seem to think that we are a minority. So, let's look at the numbers again but from a slightly different perspective.

If you live in a place where it is despicable to hit a dog but Ok to tear a live human baby apart piece by piece and call it choice, you might want to check the sign above the door because it probably ends in Asylum!
