Our founding fathers desired that every citizen would be beholden to the Almighty, and that every home should have a Bible and a Newspaper in it too help ensure that every citizen was well schooled in morality, and religion. These two things would strengthen every home, village, town, and the whole nation.
The principles of God as laid forth in the pages of the Holy Scriptures, are the principles that make a nation free and strong. Our founding fathers knew this to be a fact, and took every precaution they could to insure that this was so. As the nation grew, those who has no respect for Biblical morality, or Christianity crept in, and began to work to undermine the foundation laid by our founding fathers.
“Whatever makes men good Christians, makes them good citizens as well” - Noah Webster Nov 22, 1820
The men who founded America knew that if the teachings of the Scripture did not permeate each and every city, and town. That it would not be long before evil literature found it’s way into the hearts and minds of the citizens, and chaos would indeed ensue. These men knew that the Gospel of Jesus Christ had great power to transform this nation, and to keep it cleansed from all forms of licentiousness. For the Power of the Gospel of Christ works in a man’s heart and soul, transforming him/her from the inside out, making him a new creation that longs to do good works, that better all of society instead of tearing it down.
Not like the religions of this world that seek to convert by lethal force, with the sharp bloody blade of hate, but the Gospel of Christ transforms lives with the love, and power of God. This is a foreign concept to those who are motivated by vial hate, and seek to murder those who will not accept their religion whether it be Islam, Humanism, etc. Those who know not the Savior are motivated by a Satanic power to wipe out Christianity by any means possible. They do not understand the value that Christianity brings into society, they see it as a threat that must be done away with.
America as a nation has fallen into the abyss because so many of our citizens are not good Christians, but rather they are pagans who refuse to turn from their sin and serve the one true Lord and Master, Jesus Christ.
Their minds have been programmed by infidels in places of higher learning, where the truth of God has been shut out, so that evil may have free reign. How can anyone who is a follower of Jesus Christ attend these cathedrals of paganism, these colleges, and universities run by haters of God.
Even Christians have fallen prey to the commercialization, and overwhelming materialism of this modern day culture. Lulled to sleep in the arms of entertainment, and modern conveniences. They live busy, fast paced lives where they barely have time to catch a deep breath. Often God plays a very small role in their lives, where he ought to play a very large role.
God help us all!
Infidels work hard to hard to silence the witness of Christ in our culture, spreading licentious literature everywhere they can, drowning our society in ungodliness of every kind, and doing what they can to stand in the way of the transforming Gospel of Christ. They have invaded the church, liberalizing it, making a mockery out of the message of Christ, and preaching a socialist doctrine that is from the pit of Hell itself!
The infidels, and devils alike fear the Gospel of Christ, for they know it’s power to transform lives, and transform entire nations, and they shake in fear of it as there hatred of Christ and the Gospel grows even stronger.
They use our legal system to persecute God’s people, to create laws that are in direct conflict with the will of our founders. They willfully deny our nations Christian heritage, and seek to replace it with a secularized, false heritage. These people are plainly fooling themselves, as their judgment draws even closer. For God will not be mocked, and every man apart from Christ will reap what he has sown.
The Scripture Declares in 2 Cor. 4:4 “Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don't understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.”
Many people can’t see the light of God because of their eye’s are blinded by the Devil, and they cannot understand the message of the Gospel because the Devil has plugged their ears as well. If they could just see the truth, and hear the Gospel, their lives would be changed forever, as many other lives have been miraculously changed by the power of God.
I have seen firsthand lives that are radically changed because the light of the Gospel was allowed to shine into them. People who were once slaves to sin, and death, not are alive unto Christ. People who were trapped in drugs, and alcohol usage, now are saved and free from the chains of oppression forever. People who have come out of homosexuality, and other sexual addictions, who are now free, and are passionately in love with Jesus, for their lives have been transformed by God!
Christianity is NOT a useless religion as most religions of this world are. It is a real faith, founded upon the very real person of Jesus the Christ, the true Messiah who came to earth, and died for us all. Christianity is motivated by the unconditional love of God that changes lives by the transforming power of the Gospel.
The Bible declares to us that when the glorious light of the Gospel shines in, the darkness is gone! This is REAL people!
The Bible also declares that once we all were dead in our sins, literal slaves to the devil himself, but once Christ sets a man/woman free, they are no longer enslaved to sin, but become free in Christ.
John 8:36 - “If then the son makes you free, you will be truly free”
When the transforming power of God gets a foothold in a persons life, they are transformed by God from a slave of sin, too a friend of God. Who would not desire to be transformed from darkness to light? Who honestly wants to spend all their earthly days wallowing in the filth and degradation of sin? Wouldn't you rather be set free from the chains of sin that are holding you down? There is freedom is Christ that the world cannot understand because they are lost, and their minds have been blinded by Satan.
There is no apology being given here, not one. I will not apologize for speaking the truth of God’s Word, no matter who it offends, for we are told in Scripture that the Gospel in offensive to those who are perishing, rotting in their sins, and on their way to the lake of fire for all of eternity. Those who act so proud of their sin cannot smell the stench of it, because Satan has plugged their noses so they cannot smell it. He has placed blinders on their eye's so they cannot see the light of the transforming Gospel of Christ shining brightly. He has plugged their ears with wax, so too speak, so they cannot hear the message that would otherwise save their souls.
Too those who insist that there is such a thing as a ‘Gay Christian’, who continue to live in sin, while claiming to follow Jesus, let me say this, you are fooling yourselves, only pretending too follow Jesus, for anyone who is truly converted, and follows Jesus has been transformed in their way of living, and thinking. Their behavior is being modified by God everyday. They are being sanctified, changed into the very likeness of Jesus Christ, as they surrender to him on a daily basis, and allow him the freedom too work within them.
A true follower produces the fruit of the spirit, he/she is filled with unexplainable joy that the world can’t understand. They have a burning desire inside too read the Word of God, and to Worship God with their entire being, and to tell others about the transforming light and power of God! These are some of the marks of a true Christian.
Many church going Christians today lack these things, they do not exuburate the Joy of the Lord as they ought too, they do not study their Bibles as they ought too, and so on. Makes one wonder if our churches are not filled with masses of people who are not transformed by God as they think they are?
It is true, the Light of God, and the Power of the Gospel transforms as no other faith can do. My God changes lives! Gives people a hope, and a future! Transforms sinners into saints! Cleans people up from the inside out! Delivers people from addictions! That is what the Transforming Power of God can do!
Dear Friend, are you searching for God? Are you hungry for real change in your life? Do you desire to experience the transforming power of God in your life? Read on then!
We have all broken God’s laws, His commandments, and all of us at one point were lost without Jesus, and had our backs turned away from him. You see we all are guilty of breaking God’s laws simply for telling even a little while lie, or stealing an ink pen from work. Taking the name of God or Jesus and using it as a cuss word, or bi-word, God calls that blasphemy, and it’s NO joke.
How about having sexual thoughts about another individual, have you ever done that?
That’s called LUST! God say’s that doing such a thing makes each one of us an adulterer at heart. Jesus even likened hating someone the same as murdering them, and that’s no laughing matter. See we have all sinned, broken the laws of God, and deserve to be punished for it.
But God in his mercy and love sent Jesus to die for us all. He took our punishment on the cross so that we don’t have to suffer in Hell for all of eternity. God purchased a pardon for each of us, he wants to set you free today!
The Bible states in Romans 10:13 - “... For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. ...
You must be sincere, and honest with God in regards to your need for him. God calls you to repent, to agree with him that you have broken his laws, and deserve just punishment for it. Repentance leads us to confession. Simply confess to God that you sincerely believe that Jesus Christ took your place on the cross, that you believe the message of the Gospel that God raised Jesus from the dead on the third day.
In all seriousness, ask God for your pardon. Thank him for sending Jesus to die for you. Thank him for his transforming power, and just begin to praise him in your own words. God will being from that point forward to transform you into the very likeness of Jesus, to make you a holy person that God wants us all too be. The light has shown into your life now, go tell someone you know what you have just done, don’t worry about negative reactions, just tell someone “I just accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior”
John 1:12 “ However, to all who received him, those believing in his name, he gave authority to become God's children,
I won’t lie to you. Life won’t get any easier, in fact it’s gonna get harder because the Devil is gonna hit you with everything he can to discourage you, and sidetrack you in your Christian walk. True followers of Christ have the power of God within them to withstand the darts of Satan, so just pray to God for help, and His Grace. Get into a Bible preaching church where the Gospel in preached without excuse! Tell them you just accepted Christ and you wish to be discipled. If they cannot help you find a church that will, and you will grow in your faith.
Get into a small group, men’s or women’s Bible study group, get connected to other believers who care, and will help you grow in Christ.
May God add his blessing to the preaching of his Awesome Holy Word! AMEN!
