The separation of church and state, if
that is how you want to phrase it, is in actuality, a one way street. The first amendment says that the government
cannot interfere with our religious practices.
It also says that the federal government can’t set up a state
church. For some time now our government
has been putting more and more restrictions on our churches. To participate in a faith based program the
church must follow government dictates.
To have the tax exemptions to which churches are entitled, you must
limit what you say from the pulpit. Apparently
what the Word of God says can be determined by progressives, when they are in
power, to be hate speech. There is a
simple answer to this – DON’T TAKE THE MONEY!
Render to Cesar’s what is Cesar’s and to God what is God’s. The Church belongs to God, not Caesar. Believers, you are the Church, and if also an
American citizen, your rights are given by God, not the government. Isn’t it about time you started standing up
for your rights and freedoms? Since we have the freedom of speech and free
exercise of religion, the only way these rights can be limited is if we allow
it to happen. It doesn’t matter if you are
a believer in God or are an atheist, if our first amendment rights are limited,
we all loose.
I haven’t heard the expression
‘apostate church’ used in years but I am convinced that what is happening too
many of our churches today qualifies under that heading. We are told in the Bible that there will be
many to come in the name of Christ, and if not for the Holy Spirit, even the
‘elect’ could be misled. Since we know
that there is only one Christ, we know to be vigilantly looking for these
imposters. Are we so lazy or frightened
that we won’t confront what we know to be wrong? If your church is not teaching Jesus as Savior,
a personal relationship with the Christ and that the Bible is the inerrant word
of God; it’s not a Christian church. As
I have said before, Jesus is an absolutist and so am I. The current thinking, that everything is
relative, is simply a lie of the Devil.
As has been documented ad infinitum,
we started out as a Christian nation. Mostly
because of this fact, we prospered and grew and the Lord blessed our
efforts. A creeping disease within our
nation has been growing and today seems to be out of control. Just recently our president announced that we
were not a Christian nation. How did we
become this corrupt? How did it come
about that we accept Satan’s values over that of the Lord? Did we forget that sin is anything that
separates us from God? Did we forget
that our declaration of Independence declares
our dependence on God (Providence
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked:
for whatsoever a man puts forth, that shall he also receive back.”[1]
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray,
and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from
heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”[2] This is our God and The God of our
nation. How long are we going to stand
for the few who, knowing it or not, are working to remove His blessing from
us. If
we keep going in the same direction the following is true - "The future
ain't what it used to be"[3].
Because of my relationship with Christ, I have a certain
world view and outlook on life. It is
not my place to condemn you for your beliefs if they are different from mine,
but rather to join with you to further our nation as our founding documents
suggest. This is one of the main tenants
of our Christian nation. I don’t care
what your situation is; you could have a better and more fulfilling life if you
had a relationship with the one true and living God. It is not my duty however, to force you into
that relationship. Conversely, it is not
our governments place to interfere with that relationship.
Recently, our leadership has started to distance our
country from the state of Israel Israel was restored as a nation, have been a
supporter and protector of Israel Israel and curse those who curse Israel Jerusalem
