Just found an article entitled “‘Fusion Centers’ Expand Criteria to Identify Militia Members” <\/em><\/a> on foxnews.com and thought it was pretty interesting in an alarming kind of way. \u00a0I submit to you that it won’t be long before christianity is put on the list of “unsafe”\u00a0organizations\u00a0to be\u00a0monitored\u00a0and\u00a0labeled\u00a0as domestic terrorist and national security threats, and the Bible listed as a book of subversive literature. \u00a0But 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.<\/p>\n

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\u00a0labeled) but history warns us of the consequences, of the path this nation under god (little “g” for government) is on. \u00a0It seems as though my thoughts are being confirmed every which way i turn and the above article is just one small piece. \u00a0Everything from america’s economic situation being remedied and insured by communist China, one of the major persecutors of the “evil cult” that is Christianity. \u00a0To the age-old debate of the question: \u00a0“Is Christianity Good for the World?”\u00a0\u00a0that is rapidly reemerging, one of which was recently documented with prominent athiest Christopher Hitchens and Pastor Douglas Wilson at The King’s College. \u00a0These aren’t the only examples all you have to do is read or watch the headlines for 5 minutes and you can see. \u00a0We must discern the times we live in. \u00a0We the church must understand by a revelation of the Spirit of God that our\u00a0allegiance\u00a0is not for one second to a flag, seal or sword, but to Christ the Lamb who was slain and Him alone.<\/strong> When we understand this we will not fear the tribulations that are soon coming to the true body of Christ. \u00a0In fact He pointedly told us to expect this very thing because they hated Him first!<\/p>\n

Let us go in peace and spread the Gospel to the loveless, to the ones who desire nothing more than to\u00a0irradiate\u00a0us from their world. \u00a0This is our commission, the ministry of\u00a0reconciliation. \u00a0Let us forsake our fleshly desires to defend our\u00a0patriotism\u00a0to 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. \u00a0Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
