The Relevant Disciple

If you have read, seen, or heard the news lately then you know about President Obama's comment about the United States not being a Christian Nation. It has upset a lot of people and a lot people have rejoiced over the comment. I for one am upset but not at the comment. I agree with his assessment of our nation. We are no longer a Christian nation. President Obama was correct in his statement and that is the sad thing. It is also sad that this man (Obama) who calls himself a Christian would support that statement. President Obama proclaims that he is a Christian. Evidence has yet to support that claim (yes scripture gives me clear right to make that statement). The United States has moved away from it's Christian heritage and moved to a Progressive Secular Nation. We are way beyond the boundaries of what the founding fathers would have imagined. We are moving towards a point were religion will not only be despised but it will be hated by the majority.

When did this begin? It began in the late 50's and early 60's with sexual revolution and the movement away from church. From that point on our nation has moved away from the traditional foundation of our country. We are no longer a Christian Nation. Secular Progress thought has dominated the Universities, Colleges, Schools, News organizations, and much more for the last 40 plus years. That is a sad fact. Our founding fathers would not recognize the country which they founded. Our history is being revised by the left or progressive movement. They are willing to twist the truth to make there side look good. This is the same group of people that have taken over mainline denominations and moved them away from there biblical heritage. History has never spoken well of nations or empires that move toward a secular progressive movement.

So what can we do? First we must turn to the true and living God in prayer. God has a purpose and plan. We should come in line with the purpose and plan and focus on God's desires and God's will. Secondly, we need to repent of our sins as a people and as a nation. Our nation has given authority to kill the innocent (unborn babies), allowed and promoted pornography to flourish, helped spread the lies of ant-Christianity, and destroyed the family through divorce. We must ask God to forgive us of our lack of willingness to stand against our nation when it supports those things. Thirdly, we must Unite for a Revolution. All who believe in the true and living God, who obey the inerrant and infallible word of God, who have trusted in Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior, and who are willing to stand for the truth no matter the consequences. If we are willing to be people of the book and are willing to live a life that is not ashamed of the Gospel, we can and will make a difference. The problem is that most people who sit in a pew are not willing to fight. Why? I do not have the answer. It could be that they are lazy, afraid, or simply unwilling. But for those of us who are willing, we must do this! We must Unite to start a Revolution! We must change the culture! We must spread the gospel to a lost and dying people! We must be willing to fight! We must be willing to be the people God has demand us to be!

I am willing to stand today for the gospel and yes this brings fear into my heart and mind because I am not sure what this will cost but Christ died for me and gave His all, I must be willing to give my all for Him. He is my savior and redeemer. I challenge you who read this to do the same. Without our effort our country will be lost forever. May God bless you!
