Here’s one from the archives…
Just found an article entitled “‘Fusion Centers’ Expand Criteria to Identify Militia Members” on foxnews.com and thought it was pretty interesting in an alarming kind of way. I submit to you that it won’t be long before christianity is put on the list of “unsafe” organizations to be monitored and labeled as domestic terrorist and national security threats, and the Bible listed as a book of subversive literature. But hey, don’t worry Jesus was charged and murdered as a domestic terrorist and a national security threat, guess it can’t be that bad.
Some of you may be thinking i sound more like a conspiracy theorist (which by the way is another criteria for you to be monitored and labeled) but history warns us of the consequences, of the path this nation under god (little “g” for government) is on. It seems as though my thoughts are being confirmed every which way i turn and the above article is just one small piece. Everything from america’s economic situation being remedied and insured by communist China, one of the major persecutors of the “evil cult” that is Christianity. To the age-old debate of the question: ”Is Christianity Good for the World?” that is rapidly reemerging, one of which was recently documented with prominent athiest Charles Hitchens and Pastor Douglas Wilson at The King’s College. These aren’t the only examples all you have to do is read or watch the headlines for 5 minutes and you can see. We must discern the times we live in. We the church must understand by a revelation of the Spirit of God that our allegiance is not for one second to a flag, seal or sword, but to Christ the Lamb who was slain and Him alone. When we understand this we will not fear the tribulations that are soon coming to the true body of Christ. In fact He pointedly told us to expect this very thing because they hated Him first!
Let us go in peace and spread the Gospel to the loveless, to the ones who desire nothing more than to irradiate us from their world. This is our commission, the ministry of reconciliation. Let us forsake our fleshly desires to defend our patriotism to a man-made kingdom and surrender our entire selves to the work the Holy Spirit desires to do in us in order for that work to naturally flow out of us. This is my prayer. Amen.
