WE MUST TURN FROM OUR WICKED WAYS!!

"if, my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14, ESV) ___________________________________ For the first time in the history of this great, God-blessed nation -- The United States of America -- a standing President has stated publicly that he supports, what some call, "same sex (homosexual) marriage"....First of all, based upon God's Holy Word, there can be no such "critter"; marriage is described very clearly as between one man and one woman....And second of all, God is the One who created marriage in the first place!! ____________________________________ All sins are equal in God's eyes, and the Word makes that very clear; but some sins have a greater impact than others on society and on the family structure, as Biblically stated....Actions many times speak louder than words, but too many Christians are not willing to "hear" either one!! Bill Clinton, for example, spoke loud and clear what his ideas were on marriage, marriage vows, commitment, cheating, lying, etc. by his actions; but too many Christians chose not to listen, see, and compare the facts to the Bible....Obama, as well, has been speaking volumes through his actions and words concerning his ideas on marriage, homosexuality, lieing, misleading, etc. before he ever made the public announcement yesterday; but yet, too many Christians again have chosen not to listen, or see, or believe! _____________________________________ There are some on the non-Biblical side of the argument who will scream for "tolerance" and not to be "bigots and judgmental"; tolerance extends in both directions and it allows people that you disagree to express their views without labeling them as practicing "bigotry and prejudice."....This is an issue of God's authority and morality, believing that, and following it with assurance....Following Jesus requires more than tolerance of things you don't like, but it requires a commitment to the principles of scripture, which is not a popular opinion....Additionally, love doesn't mean refusing to speak about things you believe are harmful to the individual, the society, the family structure, and Christ's church; actually, it requires the exact opposite and to do it in a respectful and kind manner. _____________________________________ Consequently, this moral issue has nothing to do with Christian's personal politics, but it does have EVERYTHING to do with Biblical righteousness, holiness, and morality....Therefore, we cannot "ride the fence" on this matter!! If we did, we would be unfaithful to the principles of God's Holy Scripture and teachings!!! To remain silent, as a called man of God or a called Christian, would be a sin within itself!! _____________________________________ Will we Christians chose to listen this time??? And will we chose to speak and stand up and make our Biblical and righteous stance known loud and clear in November through our actions at the polls, as well as our words between now and then???? Unfortunately, if history has anything to say about, probably not! But I do believe that God can bring a revival throughout the Church of Jesus Christ and blow "history" right out of the water -- IF we will humble ourselves, repent, and pray, and seek His face!! Maybe its time we take care of our own sinful situation and ask God to heal this nation His way, not ours!! ____________________________________ It is time for all Christians to get involved in the Bible and then get involved in the moral and political matters that have been and are affecting us, our society, our families, our morality, our churches etc.!!!!!!! WAKE UP CHRISTIANS!!!!!!!!!!! ____________________________________ O God, will You please wake up ALL Christians, and then give us all the divine strength, wisdom, and power, that only comes from You, to accomplish Your will and further Your kingdom here on earth! May we have an impact on a lost and dying world!!! May we all stand for You and Your Word!! In Jesus Christ's Name I Pray. Amen.
