AMERICA!


TGIF-FRIDAY-THANK GOD FOR THIS DAY, AND ALL THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES.. FOR THEY ARE HIS TO GIVE, AND MAY WE REJOICE AT EACH AND EVERYONE WE RECEIVE ,, AND MOST OF ALL,,, GIVE THE THANKS AND GLORY FOR ALL THINGS TO HIM!

PRAYER REQUEST: For this nation, forgive it of all its' sins, which are too many to count!

AMERICA
To a large extent, the American church has become merged with the world. It has adopted so many of the worlds ideals and standards that is sweeping the nation. For millions of church members there is NO DEEP COMMITMENT TO THE CAUSE OF CHRIST! There is no regularity of attendance at public worship, no sacrificial giving, no personal religious discipline...
I see this in the people I know, the people I see and talk to... and I include myself in this... for I need daily reminders of just why we are here, and for who...
While the nation sees an increase in crime, immorality, adultery, drunkenness, irreverence, and infidelity and open apostasy, millions of "professing Christians" have forgotten the Word of Scripture that says, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him... take up his cross daily"(Luke 9:23).
Christ regarded His followers as a select company,, that belonged to a different world.. HIS! Not the worldly goods that we all take for riches,, but the riches of the blood that He shed, the life He re-gave us all.. the path He paved to Heaven , to His and our Father ,, our God.. yes,, what HE gave,, HIS LIFE!
Now we set aside the morals. and put in the mockery,,, is this you,, or are you committed? I mean not in words only, but in your actions.. will you stop the cursing,, when you hear it, or are you afraid of the consequences? Will you stand for God, and country,, or will you stand behind those of this country.... Think of how far we have come,, soldiers who have been out defending our nation, wounded and home.... now about to lose their homes, on food stamps.. wow, if we treat them this way,, then I can imagine how we treat our Lord...
Now , the Christian should stand out like a sparkling diamond against a rough background. He should be more wholesome than anyone else. He should be poised, cultured, courteous, gracious, but firm in the things he does or does not do. He should laugh and be radiant; but he should refuse to allow the world to pull him down to its level!
Now , just where do you stand this day? are you a real Christin.. or just a Sunday Morning, Sunday Night, or Wednesday Night Christan,, who practices on a schedule instead of the heart?
MAY GOD FORGIVE THIS NATION, AND MAY ALL THE PEOPLE OPEN THEIR EYES, AND REPENT! RE-TAKE THY CROSS AND FOLLOW OUR JESUS, OUT IN THE OPEN AND DO IT WITH PRIDE, NOT CAMOUFLAGED, is my prayer for today.
