This is Judgementalism at it's worse. Sean Hanity claims the Savior and mentions his faith in Him on his show. I don't know about the rest, but if it takes perfect people to be Christians I don't know anyone that would make it.
American fundamentalist Protestants largely dropped out of politics for a period during the 20th century, from the late 1920, until Reagan.
We don’t need that to happen again.
Anyone who says we shouldn’t be optimistic needs to go live alone in a cave with their misery.
Faith is optimism.
Frankly, I think our country is in a very dangerous spot. But that doesn’t mean we should just give up. We should do whatever we can, and pray that God will forgive our country and come to its rescue.
As for the end times, “No man knows the day or the hour thereof.”
my sister always mentions the end times and I tell her the same thing you said. wasn’t Jesus supposed to come like a thief in the night?
.
Have you even thought that this might be exactly Satan’s plan - to get us to give up and leave the fight? Or maybe God is testing us?
We have our Christian duty to fight evil unto the end and then some. He leads me, not the ignorant fisherman.
While I plan to continue to fight for conservative principles and freedom of conscience and faith, my expectations have become like yours.
One thing Christians need to do is start voting with their feet. Jesus said that when they persecute you in one city to flee to another.
There are many cities that have openly declared Christians are not welcome. Please consider relocating where they are welcome.
God did not judge Sodom until Lot was safely out of the city.
The New Testament reports that Jesus told his contemporaries that the end would come before his generation passed away. That was about 2000 years ago. Still waiting!
Christians in no way should leave the fight. America is God’s creation. We should fight with all we have for good, for truth and preservation of freedom.
God used righteous armies throughout all of history to conquer evil. The very reason this country is in such dire straits is because we Christians stood by let it happen.
This country is God’s shining city on a hill. When evil throughout history was on the march, America has always stood as a beacon for the oppressed. American blood has been spilled all over the world to set men free. It is because of our faith in God, His truth and goodness that we’ve sacrificed our best and brightest.
We should stand as Christian warriors. God has called His faithful to rescue the oppressed, put down evil who prey on innocense.
Our Savior will someday pierce the clouds to come do battle with evil. We should prepare the way for the day of the Lord.
Come Lord Jesus...come!
Sounds like somebody is more proud of his take on faith than of what the Savior can do.
I don’t want to put country ahead of God, but neither do I want to put a lid on my estimate of what the Lord is capable of. Great faith uncorks great miracles.
The shining city is Christian society. For a long time that and America were pretty close; de Toqueville spoke of a nation with the soul of a church. But they were never perfectly the same, and eventually Christendom got lazy enough that it became unsalty.
American Christendom that is
It is never too late to re-awaken and do the right thing. Good grief, our passivity as Christians has allowed this evil to march forward.
We need to fight.
The first thing to fight is the sin that presses upon us to not praise our Savior openly (and I mean OPENLY not just inside a designated building).
The first thing to fight is the sin that presses upon us to not praise our Savior openly (and I mean OPENLY not just inside a designated building)....
And that sin is nobody else’s fault. It’s ours, for reflexively embracing it.
satan loves for us to focus on our sin. Our spirits are righteous before God through the Holy Lamb of God.
Geez people. Jesus came and died to deal with sin. We are to live as priests. We are to go to spiritual battle.
satan is the accuser of the brethren. Understand, once you've given your life to Christ, you are FREE from sin. The accuser may stand and accuse, but God sees YOU through the atoning blood of Christ.
Your body will struggle with temptation, but your spirits have been sanctified.
We are Christian warriors folks. You have the keys to the kingdom of heaven. The Holy Spirit that resides within you will set your feet in motion to defeat the onslaughts of the evil one.
BELIEVE Y'ALL..BELIEVE.
