I Cry, I Rejoice
The funny thing is, I was excited about blogging for the first time.....however those thought provoking ideas never came. I wonder if that is a reflection of me? Anyway....
It really breaks my heart to see the current landscape of the United States changing so rapidly. The politics of "I know more about what is good for you than you do" to "you can't think that way because it might make someone think about God, doing the right thing, or getting saved" seem to permeate our society. I think finally those of us that have a personal relationship with our creator can see first hand how the world wants control and is not willing to share with us. If you cannot tell already, even our current administration has already labeled those who might be "Christian" as a threat. This. from ones we elected to preserve our Christian heritage and living documents like the Constitution. is very disheartening.
In addition, we can see these "misled" individuals using media to an effective degree to reach all those people who have not made up their minds on what they believe. Even Hitler knew the power of media in the USA to influence our own citizens. Had he possessed a more favorable persona in our society, he would have used the current media to propagandize our country to his way of thinking. Starting to sound familiar?
Fact: There is a reason we have what is considered the greatest country in the world. It is simply because we have freedom to do what is right. And, our forefathers believed that righteousness would prevail in the face of any tyrant, dictator, evil, or religious zealotry.
A recent missionary to our church proclaimed the country his family was moving to was a "post Christian nation". Post Christian? Also, he acknowledged most children in that country believe that Jesus is a fairy tale.
That is and will be our country unless we act now. The Muslim religions want to spread through our country. By force or by overpopulation, their intention is to impose rule worldwide. Sounds tyrannical to me.
Soapbox aside, my God is the creator of Heaven and Earth. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills. He did die on the cross to save ALL of us. He will win. So my encouragement to you is to read, study, pray, help your fellow christian, and reach those that are lost. All the media, politics, music, entertainment, business, industry, literature, are all intended for the glorification of my God. He would not have allowed us to develop the ability to manipulate such things if He did not intend for us to use it. Start getting involved in those arenas and we may see changes sooner than expected. After all, they are already His. We simply need to take advantage of their use to praise and worship Him. I rejoice because my God is in control and I know he loves me. I know what is going to happen. I am just not prepared to give up now.
