"How long will I be allowed to remain a Christian?" The article published by Douglas MacKinnon in April of 2018 struck a nerve with its readers but made no waves. Until now!
Each law Congress passes proves that shocking question is no longer a far fetched assumption but a disturbing reality. If you are open about your faith in Jesus Christ it is only a matter of time before you are a target of reproach and suspicion at work, in school and sometimes in your own home. We have felt oppression growing in the United States for a long time. Christians are mocked, belittled, smeared and attacked by those who oppose the Bible. We are labeled divisive because we stand behind a Biblical world view that does not promote same sex marriage, abortion or lawlessness. The left and the media push hard against anyone who aligns themselves with the Republican Party and a conservative world view in an attempt to diminish our platform. Make no mistake, this election is a spiritual war that our country can't afford to lose. If we don't speak up today and make our voices heard the policies we don't want or agree with could become a prison sentence for those who oppose it.
In a calculated way we are being transported back to the Colosseum of Rome but the ferocious lions in the arena are the lawmakers who are hell bent on wiping all traces of God out of America's future. Too many of us are worshiping at the altar of political correctness. WAKE UP! We can not stand by and watch our values be stripped away by the left as their campaign works to weaken our faith and turn us from the truth. God warned at the end of the age many people would call evil good and good evil.(Isaiah 5:20)
If you align yourself with the Christian faith there can be no compromising with the world's interpretation of justice and social reform. In this age of hatred and deception we need our minds and affections shaped by the Bible. Many politicians and church leaders try to sound like Jesus but they are false prophets. Jesus said, "Do you think I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I have come to divide people against each other!" (Luke 12:51) The church of God needs to set a standard against sin. If you are unrepentant - unrepentant is key since we all sin in many ways- sin holds you captive and you are not a Christian.
" Do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. ( 1 Corinthians 6:9-11)
As we approach the 2020 elections the people of God need to take a hard look at who they follow...God or the opinion of man.
Where will you stand? Have you fallen in line with the mockers that celebrate the murder of innocent babies and embrace the homosexual revolution. Maybe you bought into the lie that you can worship yourself and your own accomplishments so you have no need for God. Have you become ungrateful for the freedom our country provides? It's not too late to turn back to our spiritual roots. "Then I confessed my sin to you; I did not conceal my wrongdoings. I decided to confess them to you, and you forgave all my sins." (Psalm 32:5)
Only God can bring peace, justice, security and happiness. "If you confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised him from death, you will be saved, For it is by faith you are put right with God; it is by our confession that we are saved, (Romans 10:9-10)"
