This thread is about the state of our great nation America, and that the people of this country are showing there true colors. I have come to realize however what the true problem in this country has become. Now what I'm about to say will go against what some folks believe, and that is OK. What I'm about to say is for those who claim the name of Christ as there personal Lord and savior. I'm going to share a passage of scripture, Revelation 3: 14-22
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Christians today have lost there passion, there fire, and there voice. As Christians we are to share the love of Christ to everyone. We as Christians also have another responsibility, as stated in 2 Timothy 4:2 which says:
"2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine." That dose not just single out Pastors, but is meant for everyone who claims the name of Christ.
If Christians today would take a holy stand on these points our Nation would not have the problems we have today.
1. God is the Ultimate Authority over every single one of us. In the first chapters of Genesis God CREATED the heavens and the earth he also CREATED man in God's own image. In Psalm 115:3 the Bible says:
"3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased."
God created you just the way you are, and he dose not make mistakes!
2. Jesus came to the world lived a perfect life died on the cross and rose again to pay for our sins. John 3:16 Romans 3:23, 6:23 and 10:9-10.
3 After you have accepted Christ you become a new creature 2Corinthians 5:17.
If we Christians stood for those three things our nation would be more united, more free, and just plain better! Amen!
