The Vision of Our Founding Fathers

Today we see that our government keeps growing larger while our rights as Christians and Americans diminish. This was not the original intent of our Founding Fathers. Just read the Constitution and you’ll see that the Federal government is meant to be smaller, protecting us as a nation and dealing with foreign relations, wihle State governments are left to be basically independant. But unfortunately, with socialistic and communistic ideas being pumped into our nations people, we are seeing an ideology that says, “Government is God and they should take care of us.”

And what are Christians doing during this time? The word “nothing” comes to mind. The masses of evangelical Christians are ignorant of the way our country was meant to be governed. And not only are they ignorant, they are buying into the lies that our pagan culture is propagating. Matthew 5:13-16 says that we are to be a salt and a light, so that God may be glorified. But walk into the average church and you’ll see people that look just like the world. Take it up another level and go into a seeker-sensitive, mega-church and you’ll find that they are actually trying to get unbelievers into their churches just to grow in numbers and not to show the love of Christ and wrath of God through the Gospel.

This all goes to say that we as Christians, who know the truth, should be more active and more knowledgeable than the average American. We must reawaken the vision our Founding Fathers had for this country, to be nation that propogated he Gospel to the nations, to proclaim Justice, to stand for Righteousness and to defend our God-given rights.

God Bless America and to Him be the Glory!

Barack Obama- The 44th President of the United States of America

Those of you who have been following my blog (not many!) will know that I haven’t posted anything on the election. Why? Mostly because I forgot to post about it, also, what more can be said that hasn’t been already? I know, I know, that is definitely not a good reason not to talk about it, but what’s done is done.

Well now its November 4th, almost 5th, Obama has 295 of the electoral votes and McCain has 155, 270 are needed to win. The next four years of our American lives will be changed. But not the good kind of change that Obama has promised, but a terrible change. Taxes will be raised, homosexual marriage will be legalized, abortion will be legalized, our Constitution will be abolished, and so much more that I can’t even think of them all. We as Christians are entering into a time of persecution, the true church of God will be made known, His people will stand out in a world where morality is destroyed, justice is done away with, Socialism, Marxism and Communism are the norm and where the righteous are condemned.

Now is the time for trusting in the sovereignty of God over our lives, how else will we survive the persecution of our government? If you look at 1 Peter 1:1, you see that Peter addresses the church as “elect exiles”, this signifies that we have been chosen and our trials have been ordained beforehand. To some, this might not be the least bit comforting, to others, knowing that God is sovereignly in control, is the most comforting thing in the world.

This is the time where we as Christians need to let our light shine before men (Matt 5). Though the next four, maybe eight, years will be trying, God has ordained this time to produce steadfastness (James 1) in our faith. The true believers will persevere, the false believers will fall. As I said before, now is the time, especially now, for trusting in God’s sovereignty.

I will be posting more on this topic in the future. Just keep checking for new posts. Tell your friends. Spread the word.

In Christ,
