Preserving our beloved USA…

Oct14
A way of participating in the saving of America!

I keep thinking about my fellow Christians who live in countries that persecute them for professing faith in Jesus Christ. What are their thoughts as they ponder their new found faith in Christ? Will they be kicked out of their homes? Will they loose their means of income? Will their spouse or children be taken from them? Will they be able to continue attending the college they have enrolled in? Will they be on the run to be relocated to a safe place due to the threats from their own families? The cost of making a decision to follow Christ means harassment, rejection, torture, and even death for many in our world today. 

I receive an email every Saturday with information on how to pray for individuals who are enduring persecution for their faith. It is a sobering read and raises so many questions for me. Would I continue to profess my faith if I knew I could suffer such persecution? I would hope so, but I would not find such strength apart from God! As I am confident is the means whereby our brothers and sisters in Christ continue to endure. Therefore, I am compelled to faithfully pray for the persecuted.

America’s Christian population can’t imagine such oppression.  Yet, the evil that is the source of such affliction is rearing its ugly head within our own boundaries. The challenges to our faith come under the label of discrimination at this point in time. Yet, there are those within our borders whose reported plans are to force their godless ideologies upon us.

In Jeremiah 7:8-10 we read how the Israelites were warned about placing their security within the structure of the Temple. They misunderstood how their behavior was linked to God’s favor on them. They had the Temple, after all. Therefore, they could misbehave as they chose. It took the destruction of their beloved Temple and exile to a strange and godless nation that enlightened them to the price they had paid for rejecting God’s standards.

The enemy, Satan, is actively deceiving American Christians today with similar misconceptions. The deception that because we call ourselves a Christian nation, God will not allow the terrible persecution that occurs in Communist and Muslim countries. So we sit in our comfortable pews or homes and give little thought to the type of persecution some are enduring. For we are a Christian nation and our safe keeping is dependent upon God. He will do all the work of protection. We don’t have to worry about it.

Listen Christian America, if we don’t stand solidly upon the Christian principles our beloved United States was founded, what happened to the Israelites could very well happen to us. The persecution Christians are enduring in other countries could reach our shores.

But REMEMBER,

voting for those who take a stand against anti Christian ideologies, is part of God’s plan for America’s protection.

Think about it!

Worldly weapons vs God’s mighty weapons; Light vs Darkness

Nov3

2 Corinthians 10:4 NLT

We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.

I have said this before but it bears repeating. When it comes to voting, in particular for our next President, we should be courageous enough to vote our values. And as far as Christians are concerned there should be no doubt as to what those values are.

Human reasoning and false arguments have been allowed to poison a portion of the Church’s thinking. It’s time to for the Light of God’s Truth to shine down upon our darkness and expose the lies we have embraced. And may God grant us repentance that we may come to a knowledge of the Truth, come to our senses, and escape the devil’s snare (fiery darts) having been captured by him to do his will. (based on 2 Timothy 2:24-26)

Christian, vote your values

Aug2

 

Christians, when you walk into that voting booth consider the following.

“I will vote my Christian values”” Rodriguez said. “It’s life, the family ethos, it’s religious liberty, it’s limited government. That’s the person I’m going to vote for.”

   The fiery dart in all this is that when I step into the voting booth, I am voting for a particular candidate. FIERY DART ALERT folks! The truth is that when we go into the voting booth this year, we MUST vote our Christian values!

I don’t care for either candidate, so I just won’t vote!

   I could refuse to vote because I can’t endorse either candidate! But I recognize that fiery dart right off. Refusing to vote is a vote for Hillary!

And if I vote for Hillary, then I must  accept the responsibility that by my vote I have endorsed the following values: 

1) They want to repeal a law that disallows everyone’s tax dollars from directly paying for abortions. This means that Christians would be forced to fund the murder of babies.

2) They want to repeal a law that disallows foreign funding from directly paying for abortions. This means that not only do the Democrats want to increase abortions in America, they now want to spread it across the world.

3) They want to ban people from discouraging abortions. Basically, they want to make it illegal for Christians to try to help and persuade mothers to try to keep their babies. Praying Christians outside of abortion clinics would be punished for trying to help.

Nor, as a Christian, can I afford to overlook the following:

A Word from Mike Huckabee’s Facebook page concerning the effect voting for Hillary would have on future Supreme Court nominations:

   Now, some of Hillary Clinton’s potential SCOTUS nominees have been revealed, albeit in an unofficial way. This story notes their “diversity,” but it’s all on the surface. On their attitudes toward the law and the Constitution, it’s a list of lockstep activist liberals from the courts most infamous for legislating from the bench. We have two names from the notorious Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, several more from other top California courts, a couple from the DC courts, and two Democratic Congress members who aren’t even judges now, but both gave very partisan speeches at the Democratic Convention. Plus, not on this list but suggested in passing by Hillary Clinton, is the possibility of appointing Barack Obama to the Supreme Court to safeguard the Constitution. Which is sort of like appointing your cat to safeguard your canary. These would be the people who might spend decades on the Court, condemning our children and grandchildren to a far-left, Washington-controlled America unrecognizable to the Founders, one where the Second Amendment is history, and with it gone, the gutting of the First Amendment and the rest of the Bill of Rights can safely continue.
   The economy and terrorism are very important, but this may be the most urgent issue in the November election. I would urge the remaining “NeverTrump” holdouts to look over this list and think very hard before you pull the lever for Hillary or a third-party candidate who’ll help elevate her into the position of stacking the courts.

And finally, 

I watched this video and couldn’t help but identify one as a prayer but the other as no more than a speech.:

This was disturbing and down right scary! Remember, it’s about values not a person! And never forget 2 Chronicles 7:14. That is the final word!
