Why are some christians just perfectly satisfied to have their head buried in the sand like an ostrich when it comes to getting involved in what is right? It really concerns me that when, or if you bring up the subject of current events dealing with our government, or whats going on with our world most of the fellow christians just shrug it off saying..." I just don't want to get involved in that junk...its so depressing "...or "what can I do about it anyway"??? Wow... some things never change huh? Just like in Noah's time...he was told to warn the people about the big Flood...but did they listen... heed the call??? Nope....biggest majority of them died/drowned simply because they just didn't want to be bothered with what was going on right in front of their own eyes, or just didn't want to get 'involved"..!!! Interesting.....our world as we know it here in America....is literally falling apart..changing drastically every single day.....and when all of this huge drastic changes become 'law'...and we have to live under a totally dif' government ....{New World Order...One world Gov't}...and it just sneaks up on us because we didn't want to get "involved"...well don't say you weren't warned. or you weren't told just because u failed to stay informed. It's happening people...and as Christians...we need to ban together...fight for our rights. Notify your legislators on things you don't want to take place. Alert your local congressmen....get off your hiny's and get involved.
Thanks to informed citizens in NY....that kept bugging their congressmen...and their legislators'...about NOT allowing same sex marriages in their state. They won... only because they got involved. Don't sit back and complain about these things happening in your own state if you are too lazy to get involved and make a difference.
God wants us to get involved in what is right. He expect us as Christians.;..;HIS own followers to get involved in our government. We pay the taxes..we bail them out...we vote for them..{unfortunately a lot of you musta voted the wrong way this yr///but thats beside the point.;... its done....now deal with it}. And trust me////YOU WILL DEAL WITH IT.
Get involved....make a difference. Then when you complain...you will be heard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amen
Amen, Amen....please see my post of 5/30 entitled "Christian Activism." I am sick at what is going on in this country and am going to do something about it, Lord willing. Thank you for your post.
We do not have enough real men out there who have the courage to reach out, teach out, and preach out. Some of my sisters in Christ have more courage to stand up and speak and it is disheartening.
One problem with this.. anyone who preaches or teaches that govt is inherently evil instantly gets labeled as a 'dangerous terrorist cult leader' these days. The US Govt has put a spin on disagreeing with allowing such perversions and wickedness in our country.. they'd prefer it to look like a swine pen, all muddy in filth as there is apparently more money to be made in prolonging the problem. Look at the healthcare industry where we now have doctors performing extra unnecessary tests or treatments just to generate revenue so the doctor can buy that 4th beachfront property in a recession or buy that new lamborghini. When the US Govt. discarded our original key/primer for determining what is truly good, and what is truly evil, all we have left is to pray for those in authority and positions of power. After all, we don't wrestle with flesh and blood, but with the principalities and powers of the air (unclean spirits - boy that topic is taboo!!!) Without God's perfect law and instead living with fallen mans law which cater to and serve mammon/money, it comes as no wonder that people are subverted to believe that they are born gay, and it's an all natural alternative healthy lifestyle. The odd thing is that back in 1976 or so the American Psychiatric Assoc. declared it was a misuse of the natural faculty of the human body, and we all know that it does not result in conception. The man most responsible in the APA for changing homosexuality from a deviant act into "the best definition of love between two people" actually went on to write a few books.. the first 2 notably titled: "The Joys of Gay S**". Moral decay in america? Yes indeed when wicked men get into positions of authority. You don't talk to your children and try to warn them about tobacco and smoking because you hate them.. you warn them about tobacco and smoking because you love them. The fallen world will try to twist the truth every time, or at least add a little poison.. enough to make it digestible. It comes as no wonder that someone once said that truth has a bodyguard of lies.
In healthcare, I've had several people who work as nurses tell me they see it all the time - doctors doing extra injections and tests for revenue. It's a shame when we can't even trust doctors for intellectual honesty anymore. They don't really ever cure anything.. that would be a one time sale. Rather, they 'treat' a person for life if needed for a constant flow of revenue and are held blameless most of the time if a patient dies. Instead of customer, the politically correct term is patient, or client so you don't feel like you've been shafted when the doctor cannot fix you.
It's a backwards, inverse fallen world we live in, so expect the soothsayers/naysayers (predictors or prognosticators.. the fallen kings of the earth with the power of the pen) to manipulate for the glory of money, above the glory of God.
Most people disagree with this, and get angry with you.. but that anger just shows they are part of the wickedness as Jesus wasn't fond of anger or any other rogue emotions.
God bless you all, for those of you not standing up and reaching out to others or anyone.. please.. get off the proverbial fence and choose a side. God will spit out the lukewarm and Jesus would rather ye be hot or cold.. not ever lukewarm. :MrT:

Peace be unto you.. the Lord is with you always, even until the end of the world. May the glory all go to God, and may His name ever be praised!
