It was never my intention to write “religious” posts for this blog but circumstances sometimes dictate a change in course. In religion and in politics we as a people must at times agree to disagree on some issues but with things that endanger the foundation of our existence as a republic there can be no negotiation.

 I have been reading some of the planks in the recent political party platforms and watched the convention speeches and I am convinced that the Progressive Democrats are determined to wage war on the religious freedom of Americans in favor of instituting an agenda that resembles what was Europe in the beginning of the twentieth century to the present time.

  The outright elimination of the word “God” and the failure to proclaim Jerusalem as the capital of Israel are the most obvious of the anti-God actions but there are others. The government control of nearly every aspect of one’s life from cradle to grave instead of the church and charitable organizations. The complete disrespect for the life of an unborn child giving way to  a woman’s “right” to commit fornication and have the tax payers paying for the result of her lose life style either through abortion or welfare. The embrace of a political group that has declared war on the United States (the Muslim Brotherhood), the open embrace of Sodomites, the demonizing of republicans, conservatives and Tea Party activists. The leaders of the party were openly lying and making references to opponents as being Nazis.   The overall atmosphere of their convention was that of division, deception, depravity and diversion from the real issues that face the republic. What was possibly most disturbing to me was the crowd’s acceptance of the vitriolic message that was conveyed by speakers and the “memorabilia”. It was a disgraceful display of debauchery!     

  The blatant lies and twisting of truth should not surprise any believer who has spent any time at all reading and studying the scriptures. In one of the Apostle Pauls’ letters he told of a time when people would reject the truth for a lie and would follow their own desires. He also said that there would be false teachers that would arise and tell their people things they wanted to hear instead of the truth of scripture. The Old Covenant prophets told of shepherds who would come and deceive their sheep and they gave warning against any nation that would call good evil and evil good. This nation has reached the point where the immoral minority of citizens with loud voices and “friends in high places” are dictating the course of our future. The immoral minority are running the government and will bring judgment upon us all if the moral majority do not rise up and take control back  and restore morality and sanity to the halls of government.

 The lack of true leadership must be reversed and it must once again come from the pulpit to the pew not from the pew to the pulpit. For far too long many pastors and priests have not spoken out against the depravity of society or that of the congregations they have charge over. Whole denominations now allow Sodomites to be welcome participants in every aspect of ministry. Many congregations actually hire Sodomites as their pastors and priests and sanction the practice of same sex marriage among the congregation and the clergy as though God Himself had ordained it from Scripture. The reality is that the word strongly condemns the practice of sodomy. The first chapter of the letter to the Romans is apparently missing from the Bibles of these denominations and their leadership. Make no mistake about it they will be held accountable for their actions or lack thereof.

 Some Denominations have and continue to express compatibility with Islam and have begum what they call Chrislam! This is an abomination! Johns’ gospel the 14^th chapter quotes Jesus as saying “I Am THE Way” not A way! Again in John’s gospel he says that Jesus was the Word and the Word is God! Islam is adamant in saying that God has NO SON! Any church or pastor who allows the worship of Allah in their church is in heresy and in danger of hell fire for preaching another gospel (Gal. “if anyone comes preaching any other gospel let them be accursed, and even if an angel comes preaching any other gospel let them be accursed forever”).

 Every preacher in every denomination must take a stand for

righteousness through the vicarious death of Jesus Christ and His shed blood. We must love the persons who are deceived and are living in spiritual darkness but me must express to them that what they are involved in will result in eternal separation from God unless they repent and seek forgiveness and deliverance. We as pastors are charged to speak the truth in love, but to speak the truth from scripture and not from church or denominational doctrine.

  If  pastors allow sin to continue in their churches without addressing it and try to cover or comfort the sinner instead of putting Matt. 18 to action they will have blood on their hands. The same is true of those who sit in the pews and say nothing to their leadership. We have a responsibility to be living like we are sons and daughters of God and not men pleasers. The future of this republic lies in the hands of the church not in the hands of corrupt politicians.

  SAVING AMERICA is going to be difficult but save her we must! We need to use every tool at our disposal and be bold and full of courage as we confront the political and the politically correct. The church holds the answer to the restoration of America not the secular government. Returning to a life of Holiness and honor toward our “fathers” with humility and a firm reliance on Divine providence to keep the republic He established is the only hope America has for survival.
