If Our President Were A Christian...

If our president were a Christian --and one that fought for our rights as believers in the Gospel...

• We might get back to qualifying as a "Christian Nation" someday.
• We'd have the same rights as Muslims.
• We could pray in school again and bring our Bibles too, if we chose to do so.
• We could pray while at the bus stop and not get arrested.
• We could pass out Christian literature or witness to somebody and not get asked by police to stop (even though the Muslim or the evolutionist could do their thing on the same street without anyone saying a word, because this is their right, and those Christians shouldn't be imposing their values on other people).
• We could mention the word "Jesus" at work and not get in trouble.
• Our president would not be afraid of offending anybody when praying in the name of Jesus before the fancy dinner started.
• He wouldn't be afraid to say that someone "is wrong".
• He wouldn't be afraid to tell the truth instead of saying, "Well if that's what you believe, then it's true for you!" just to make others happy and to avoid confrontation. We cannot all be right. We are either both wrong or one of us is right. That's all there is to it.
• Maybe he would communicate what the "separation of church and state" really means.
• He wouldn't allow the removal of Christianity while protecting those of other faiths and religions because they have the right to practice their faith. What about us?

What we do have to remember is that the president that we have now and the one that we'll have in the future has been placed their (ultimately) by God, whether we like it or not.


Romans 13-1 says:

"Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God."

Too bad Mike Huckabee pulled out of the race. Michele Bachmann is someone I am keeping an ear out for. We just need a believer in Christ (and not a Mormon --sorry Mitt Romney) to lead this country for once!

P.S.: Happy Father's Day to all you fathers out there!

Why Jesus Came

Ask someone nowadays who Jesus was, and there's a good chance you'll get, "Jesus was a good guy", or "Jesus was cool dude" and many times they'll add, "I don't know if he was the son of God, though".

Too many people will tell you that Jesus came to be the example of how a human should live. OK. This is partly true. But he primarily came to live a sinless life and become the perfect sacrifice for our sins (past, present and future). He came to seek and save those who were lost. Here's why I say this:

1. We are innately sinful. 
2. We have to be perfect, like him, to get into heaven and be in the presence of God.
3. To do this, we have to obey every commandment and never sin in order to be deserving of heaven.
4. We can't do it. Can we?

That's the point. In the old testament, the Jews used to sacrifice animals to "cover" their sins. Jesus came and became the perfect sacrifice. This is a sacrifice that doesn't just cover our sins, but erases them. We cannot be in God's presence when we are full of sin. If we receive Jesus' free gift, repent and trust in Him, God now sees us as perfect and sinless, because He now sees us through Jesus. This is why we are called Saints when we are saved. It's the way God sees us now. We now have, as John MacArthur once explained, an alien righteousness. We can now be one of God's children. Not through our works, but through the works of our true Savior, Jesus Christ!

Luke 19:8 says:

Jesus responded, "Salvation has come to this home today, for this man has shown himself to be a true son of Abraham.For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost."

OK, time to go to church.

God bless!

CRITICISM - Who me?

Criticism. Sometimes we don't take it very well. When criticized, it can anger us, driving us into a defensive display of snarkiness and spastic reactions. Think about it. Humorous, yes, but indeed true. But what does the Bible have to say about criticism? Quite a bit. When we agree that criticism can be helpful, we dub it "constructive criticism".

Proverbs 15:31-32 says:

"If you listen to constructive criticism, you will be at home among the wise. If you reject criticism, you only harm yourself; but if you listen to correction, you grow in understanding." NLT
