Christian's Have A Duty


"Oh bless our God, you peoples! And make the voice of His praise to be heard, Who keeps our soul among the living, And does not allow or feet to be moved." Psalm 66:8-9
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Matt 28:19-20
Christians have been convinced into thinking that we are to be simply silent sweethearts in our relationship to the world, especially in the civic arena. We have forgotten that while we are to be submissive to governing authorities, We the People are the governing authority in America, and what we decide to accept, endorse, support, tolerate, or silently allow will be what we end up with. Our system of self government requires that we speak out and be heard. And it is our faith that should prompt us, standing up for our King, to make necessary loud noises to affect and impact change. Our culture that we complain so much about is in our hands, it is our responsibility, our "trust" or "talent" if you will, given to us by God. We have the ability, the voice, and the liberty to make the necessary changes in our culture. We should be doing it in mass numbers and if we don't we are consenting to a Godless culture that our posterity will be immersed in and it will difficult if not impossible to reverse without extremely painful struggles.
Our founders established a government of the people by the people, and a nation upon a united belief in God! May we once again learn true history! It would be very wise of us to heed the warning of George Washington in his farewell address:
"And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds....reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle."
As immorality increases in our society, the decline of the Church increases, and the prospects for conversions to Christ grow fewer and fewer every day.
