Here the just three MAIN headlines I woke up this morning..
1. "8 killed in Nursing Home shooting"
2. " 6 killed in California home shooting"
3. " Man decapitates 5 yr old, kills sister"
I thought to myself..what in the world is happening to our country?...Why on earth would anyone do such horrific acts of injustice and malice?... Has this become the norm that we just read over these articles and fancy about our day?..Does anyone feel like shaking this country back to our roots..our God centered, Christian principled way of living...versus this liberalized society that we have become that has booted God out of our lives to the degree that we are questioning whether or not God's name should ever be used in any setting due to it possibly offending someone..I have righteous anger this morning over what this country is turning into..and how we as Christians are not willing to lead by example..to show our neighbors, friends, co workers, countrymen how a life centered on God looks like..We have diluted our Faith so much that we simply blend into society..No longer do we stand out and stand for God..Well we might be called a Religious nutcase, or a fundamentalist or an intolerant person..Folks we are losing the moral battle in this country and it is centered around the exclusion of God in our lives..The further we push Him away, the further we sink into this moral cess pool we are in..If we could see ourselves from God's perspective, I am sure we look like a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah or Corinth.. Corinth...the most important city in Greece during Paul's day, was a bustling hub of worldwide commerce, degraded culture and idolatrous religion.. Does that sound at all familiar..
Folks the sounding call has been sent out for we as Christians to mobilize in this world..We need to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with everyone in earshot and beyond..We have to take seriously our command to obey God and live our life according to His commands..not some feel good worldly type that fits into this worldly system we live in..It is time for us to take a stand..We will stand for Christ or we will bow out and retreat and allow our families, neighborhoods, towns, cities and states to be run a muck.. We need courageous battle ready Christians to assist in this warfare over our lives and stand our ground before it is ripped from underneath us..
The vocal minority has been reeking havoc in our lives..They have managed to demonize Christians and fully embrace degraded thinking..They have minimized our influence and spread their filth around parading it as the new era, or new way of thinking..the modern 21st century way of living..They have ridiculed our way of life and worked very hard to normalize idolatrous and sexually immoral behavior..
WE MUST WAKE UP AND HEED OUR CALL!!
This is the verse I was take to in the Word when reading those article mentioned above
Romans 1:28-32 (The Message)
28-32Since they didn't bother to acknowledge God, God quit bothering them and let them run loose. And then all hell broke loose: rampant evil, grabbing and grasping, vicious backstabbing. They made life hell on earth with their envy, wanton killing, bickering, and cheating. Look at them: mean-spirited, venomous, fork-tongued God-bashers. Bullies, swaggerers, insufferable windbags! They keep inventing new ways of wrecking lives. They ditch their parents when they get in the way. Stupid, slimy, cruel, cold-blooded. And it's not as if they don't know better. They know perfectly well they're spitting in God's face. And they don't care—worse, they hand out prizes to those who do the worst things best

Folks..If we believe every word of the bible to be True and God breathed..(I do)..then this verse ought to scare you to action..This is exactly what is happening in our world..
The sub title of this little section on Romans Chapter 1 is "God's Wrath on Unrighteousness"..This is God's wrath.. God turning the nation loose over to their vile passions..Basically God is stepping aside and allowing us to destroy ourselves..A form of Wrath is to lift His protection from us..and let us do as we please..
