Good morning! How are we faithing? I have been watching for quite some time the ratcheting up of persecution of Jesus believers. Over seas it has been happening for years but not here. We are a nation founded on religious liberty but that constitutional principle is under attack.We are also guilty of walking political speech away from the pulpit and that is dangerous. In the beginning of this nation the preachers were rounded up and killed because they were the instigators of the revolution and that same persecution is starting again. I do believe pushing for a candidate from the pulpit is dangerous but not principles. If one has a solid knowledge of the Word one will make an appropriate candidate choice. I hear people say they don't vote because they are choosing the lesser of two evils. I disagree because I think it is not the lesser of two evils but more of a choice of the one who is more aligned to our thoughts than the other. Never will there be a candidate that agrees 100% with each of our individual thoughts therefore we are obligated to pick the one who aligns closest to our principles. The Houston mayor has subpoenaed sermons that may disagree with her beliefs and this is one of the first type of persecution I've seen of a serious attack on religious freedom. Free speech and the liberty to state what one believes is under attack and if this goes unchallenged, we all could suffer when we say something that someone in power disagrees with. If we as believers sit back and do nothing in our comfortable pews we will reap things like the removal of prayer in school and Roe vs Wade. It is our time to wake up or suffer because we didn't. Jesus caused a stir and as a result he was killed.
2Ti 3:12-17
Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
Heavenly Father,
Wake us up Lord. Grant us wisdom and courage to act in accordance to your will Teach us to be your servants. Lord we ask you touch those hurting today. Lead them to your peace. Help us don your armor so we can go out to face everything knowing you got this. In Jesus name, amen
