Serving God Is Serving Your Country Series

This is but just ONE example of where our nation has stumbled, I could give you many, many more such as how homosexuality is now viewed by many as a legitimate life situation and that it is not a choice but that is WHO they are…

Another is theft or stealing… there was a time in this country when honesty and integrity meant something to EVERYONE and a person’s good name was important. However, today in our country it is common place for things to disappear and be taken… and in certain situations almost EXPECTED! I find the integrity and moral character of our nation to be spiraling downward and getting worse and worse!

I have heard many Christians make comments about the ungodly leaders we have, and how God is being taken out of our society and how terrible things are getting.

Many believers point the finger of blame at Satan and his influence over those who are not saved. Many believers point the finger of blame at our society that has abandoned God… but today I want to share with you who is TRULY to blame for the downward spiral of our nation! It is WE the church! We are to blame! You are to blame! I am to blame!

As a body of believers we have sat idly by and allowed so many things to be taken away and changed and altered because we thought it was unimportant OR that it wouldn’t affect us… but I tell you it is WE who are to blame!

Today… THIS generation is the generation that is going point the direction for future generations…so the question is, “where are we pointing the future generations?” How are we in our generation serving God and leaving a godly legacy?

We started out so great in our nation, lifting God up in EVERYTHING we did… all the way from Government offices to the everyday lives of its people… God was proclaimed!

However, today is a different story! Today, our Congress is attempting to pass what they call the “Hate Crime Initiative” and although the implication of the bill seems to be focused on hate mongers such as the Ku Klux Klan and white supremacist groups…

This also has the potential to be much more wide reaching… and there is a fear… and a well founded one at that… that this bill if signed into law would potentially focus on what pastors say about things like sexual sin or homosexuality or any other sinful activity.

In fact, when an official from the Justice Department was asked about this potential law, that if a minister was attacked by a radical homosexual faction because of the ministers stance against homosexuality, would this bill protect the minister under the Hate Crimes statute?

The answer was a shocking NO! That this bill will NOT protect ministers or white people. And this is what the Justice department is pushing for legal justice for all people?

We live in a fallen and broken world, where there is never going to be total peace or harmony. The reason for that brokenness is the sin in our lives… the reason the world is getting worse instead of being on the mend… that is OUR fault! We… the Christians of the world have abandoned our role in society…
