Brothers and Sisters in Jesus Christ,
Forgive me for not having any blog entries for weeks. There is no excuse.
I grow weary with our thought process on how we think we should conduct ourselves on this earth. Especially, this past holiday where everyone was celebrating the Fourth of July. So many celebrated their patriotism and conveyed their commitment to our nation as "One Nation Under God." Are we really one nation under God? My question is how can we claim be one nation under God when we do the following:
***We allowed our nation under God to take prayer away from our classrooms.
***We allowed a small group of people to pass abortion laws.
***Most believers do not pray on a regular basis.
***Most believers do not tithe or give alms to the poor.
***We allow smut in our lives through TV, Internet, movies, and magazines.
***We have idols in the form of sports, movies, and celebrities.
***We have Gods of consumerism, greed, and lust.
***We spend more time worrying than time with God.
***We have allowed our one nation under God to get out of control.
***We don't spread the Good News because we don't read the Bible.
We have put more faith in this world more than we have in Our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus in talking to Pilate says in John 18:36 “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.” We are not any better than the Jews in this passage as one nation under God. We don't fight for Jesus either.
We can't put faith in our nation our this world. Look at the results of placing faith in this world. God is looking for you to have faith in Him.
Luke 18:8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"
