Do our lives back what we talk about?


There is a crisis in our nation in that Christians are not acting like Christians. We seem so concentrated on being forgiven that we forget to be holy. We find causes to rally to and open our lives to scrutiny of a press that does not care about right and wrong but about their personal agenda.

Any liberal in the country would give their life for freedom of speech, yet when Miss California exercised it she became target #1. When she said she did not believe in Gay marriage and later claimed it went against what God has said and she would not go against what God has said.

That should have been enough for the media. She exercised her right as an American citizen to speak what she believed. However, we are seeing that free speech is not free.

In fact, this young woman has been taking a beating and, quite frankly, was not prepared for such an onslaught. If one is going to take a public stand then ones life will be publicly scrutinized. We do not battle flesh and blood but the prince of the power of the air and his thugs and they are good at what they do.
When the liberal press got a hold of this girl they found that she had topless pictures of her self and threatened to use them. She denied it. They proved her wrong.

The major problem here is the same problem most Christian Americans face. We talk but have little conviction to back our talk. It was obvious to the media that a Christian should not lie and pose nude and they were more than willing to point this out in order to discredit the person.

I know, we can now claim that we are not perfect, just forgiven but as we say that, as true as it is, we set the bar pretty low.

What we need to do is go back and study men like Daniel, in the Bible. The big wigs of his day wanted to destroy him, but the only problem they could find in him was that he prayed.

If I want to be used of God in a significant way today, I need to prepare by being obedient to Him in all things, by watching my life so that if I am accused of anything, it is that I love God, my wife and my children.

It is important that we who name the name of Christ be ready to stand up to scrutiny because it will come.

Live today as if your life and decisions actually matter cause you never know when you will be thrust into the limelight.

Let's live as if sin is actually bad.....

What will you do with the facts?

Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that have been accomplished among us, just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us, it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, that you may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught. Luke 1:1-4 (ESV) Luke, the physician, does not claim to be an eyewitness account of what happened with Jesus, but he is one who personally evaluated the claims of those who had been with Jesus. As a doctor, he felt compelled to get the facts about Jesus’ miraculous birth recorded for Theophilus so he could have all his doubts erased. There is no reason to doubt Luke’s scholarship, methods, and conclusions. There is no reason to doubt unless your belief system has become the basis of your understanding, and you have slipped into thinking that whatever you belie...

Watch Him Work

But David said to Abishai, "Do not destroy him, for who can put out his hand against the Lord's anointed and be guiltless?" And David said, "As the Lord lives, the Lord will strike him, or his day will come to die, or he will go down into battle and perish. The Lord forbid that I should put out my hand against the Lord's anointed. 1 Samuel 26:9-11 (ESV Strong's) Waiting on God….Waiting on anyone or anything can be difficult. Waiting often means waiting for something to be transferred to our control. We do not like things we cannot control. David could have quickly taken matters into his own hands and get on with being king. He could easily have justified his actions before all his loyal subjects. Yet, those who live by faith do not spend time justifying their actions; instead, they give reasons for them. David understood that God was going to make him king. He needed to watch Him work. We do not need to help God accomplish His will; we just need to be obedien...

One Day…

"He will guard the feet of his faithful ones, but the wicked shall be cut off in darkness, for not by might shall a man prevail. The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces; against them he will thunder in heaven. The Lord will judge the ends of the earth; he will give strength to his king and exalt the horn of his anointed." 1 Samuel 2:9-10 (ESV)   There is no way to fight God, and one would be foolish to attempt such folly. Yet, some seem to be in a continual battle with the Almighty. You would think they would learn quickly the error of their ways.   Strength never determines victory; proximity does. Those close to God and obedient to Him win, for there is no way to lose. The lies of Satan often blur absolutes in an attempt to make the will of God debatable.   One day, all who have ever lived will see and recognize Him as God. For some, it will be the most tragic day of their existence. For others, it is the culmination of lives well lived. Our choices today ...
