Church is for Weaklings

I remember how I was so easily manipulated into sin when I was young.  I knew a man who was encased in every form of evil a man might think of.  And I remember how I was shamed into participating by simple words.  He would refer to me as  “hay seed”.  And I was ashamed that I didn’t have the “man-up” to do what he did.  So I chased after the same things for years.

You might think of me as a lesser man for doing such things.  And I would readily agree.  But there is a sort of “man-up” happening all day long that never gets any notice.  It doesn’t have much to do with drugs, sexual immorality, or theft and such.  It has much more to do with ignorance regarding the things of God.  Are you being threatened with words like “man-up” and “hay seed”?  Are you threatened because you don’t revel in the same flood of dissipation as the world around you?

 

Eternal Vote

The call of the day is to abandon all the work of the liberals and support conservative ideals.  And millions are making plans, through educating themselves, to do just that come November 6th.  “Millions”, I say.  Millions!  People who have never voted before are now registered and prepared to take a stand for the sake of their freedom.  Wow!  The nation is divided as never before over the issues of the day.  I almost have to laugh at the response.  Threaten to take away freedom and the nation wakes up.  There will likely be more years of voting to come.  And we will see what happens this year.  But the rousing response to liberalism is impressive.

We get to vote our mind once, twice, three times and more.  It’s kind or like a restart when elections come along.  We get to keep chosing what kind of leadership we want.  But there is an election that many of those millions are missing.

Threaten America with a loss of freedom to do anything they want and they come out swinging.  Yet few pay attention to the on going, second by second election regarding the eternal freedom.  They select leaders over the “stuff” of life in the body.  But what about the election of who is Lord of their eternity?

What would America look like if the people were as worried about voting for satan or Jesus?  Satan (I had to capitalize the name cause it was the first word in the sentence, sorry)  is the king of lies, rebellion, corruption and eternal stupidity.  Jesus is King of eternal righteousness and life.  All men everywhere are required to vote for one or the other.  The voting booth is your  heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.

With so much at stake in this American election I can see why people are a bit concerned.  But with eternity at stake I would think people would be more concerned with the eternal election also.  The real question at hand is not liberal or conservative, democrat or republican.  The real question is Life or death.

Choose Jesus!
