Do I need to go on? It's obvious that America has taken a turn for the worse and yet, these events are not our biggest problem...our greatest problem in America is the Drowsy Church of Jesus Christ. We're fighting the wrong battles, and we're dying on the wrong battlefield.
First of all, we need to accept our conditions. Understand, that it's supposed to get worse, not better! We keep trying to straighten the chairs on a Sinking Ship!!
Secondly, you must understand there is no covering for the wicked, and vengeance belongs to God and Him alone...our responsibility is to gather as many sinners as we can into God's kingdom!Too many Christians are fighting fights we shouldn't. Hey, I'll never hold signs in front of an Abortion Clinic, but I will witness to young people letting them know that Jesus has something better than premarital sex...I'm not gonna fight gay marriage and the like...I'd rather witness to the gay community and allow the conviction of the Holy Spirit deal with their sins!
Matthew 9:36-38
36 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send forth laborers.
This is our call, this is what God has for us - sinners are not the enemy - they're the prize!
Don't be fooled by the hype of the world...they pretend to be happy, but they're dying inside...it's up to the church to rise up and respond to the call of God...
We should be a people with a sense of urgency - going out to tell the story of the hope in His glory!
Keith Green:
Do you see, do you see, all the people sinking down?
Don't you care, don't you care; are you gonna let them drown?
How can you be so numb? Not to care if they come...
You just close your eyes and pretend the jobs done
O bless me Lord, bless me Lord
You know, that's all I ever hear
No one aches, no one hurts, no even sheds one tear
But He cries, He weeps, He bleeds, and He cares for your needs
And you just lay back, and keep soaking it in...
Can't you see it's such sin!
'Cause Jesus brings people to your door, and you turn them away
As you smile and say, 'God bless you, be in peace,'
And all heaven just weeps...'cause Jesus came to your door...
You left Him out on the street!
Open up, open up! Give yourself away!
You see the need, you hear the cries, so how can you delay?
God's called you, and you're the one, but like Jonah, you run
He told you to speak, but you keep holding it in...
O, can you see it's such sin!
The world is sleeping in the dark, that the church just can't fight
'Cause it's asleep in the light
How can you be so dead? When you've been so well fed?
Jesus rose from the grave...and you; You can't even get out of bed...
