Stand Up

If we as Christians hope to change the direction that our country is rapidly going in, we need to stop acting scared and start standing up for what we believe in. Christians and in particular pastors and church leaders are going to have to make a decision. What really matters to us, our comfort or our beliefs? For far too long we have been afraid to really speak and act on what we believe. We have been happy to lead our comfortable, quiet, politically correct lives out of the sight of anyone who may criticize us. We have allowed our country and our churches to be taken over by people whose beliefs and values are very different from ours. It is time for all of us who truly put our faith in Jesus Christ, to stand up, stand up and speak, stand up and vote, stand up and act out in faith.

The stealing of America

I continue to be amazed at how quickly and easily Americans are giving up their rights, how quickly they are turning from what has made America great. When you stand back and look at what has happened over the past year it is almost breath taking. We went from a very long sustained period of economic growth and prosperity to………. the end of the world as we know it? I mean really what has changed? Well for one thing we have elected both a president and congress that are bent on taking the America we have known, the America our founders dreamed of, down. You laugh? You think I am over stating their aims? You think perhaps "we are all Americans and in the end we all want what is best for America"? Really? I guess what I would ask of you and of our leaders is, who's America are you interested in seeing the best for? The one our founders dreamed of, or the one liberals have been pushing us towards for decades, a socialist America where Government is the answer for everything. Look at how quickly they are moving. They understand that this is an unprecedented opportunity for them, an opportunity that may never come again. Look at the fear and panic they are spreading. Why? Why are our leaders standing up and shouting "fire" in a crowded theater? I will tell you why, because they are determined to change this country forever. Liberals always prey on the weak, always. It is what gives them their power, and right now they have most of America and the world weak and scared. The question is: are we smart enough to see this for what it is? Are we smart enough to stand against the tide and say no?
