This is a quick lesson in how to be politically correct:
1. Don't listen to Fox News or Talk Radio ...all those people are morons and liars.
2. Vote "party" not conscience...(it's probably defiled anyhow ...both!)
3. Believe everything you hear on CNN, MSN, NBC, CBS, ABC and any other station that is more favorable toward socialism than individual freedom.
4. Think green, buy green, eat green, and believe in Climate change/Global Warming ... stop ozone depleation, hold your breath ...it stinks too.
5. Save the whales, sea slugs, seals, any endangered species ...but kill babies.
6. Free Enterprise and private ownership, is wrong ... taxing the rich, eliminating the Middle class and redistribution of wealth is right.
7. The Social Gospel is right ... the Gospel of Jesus influences hate crimes.
8. Do not be conservative because most conservatives are just uneducated "hicks" and "racists".
9. Whatever you do keep your faith to yourself ...it might offend someone.
10. Ignore History, our founding Fathers, the Constitution, The Bill of Rights and any source of Patriotism...and Christian-Judeo thinking.
ENOUGH!!!
Shift your brain to the right for a moment and pull it out of the mire of the day! Leave the fake utopia for a moment!
HEAR HIS VOICE --- Proverbs 25:5 - Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.
Let Him Establish His throne in your heart!
HEAR HIS VOICE --- Proverbs 14:34 - Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
Let the Exhaltation (promotion) in your life come from the Righteousness of God.
Heb. 12:19 - And the sound of a trumpet, ------------{call to action}
and the voice of words; ----------------------------{specific orders}
which VOICE --------------------------{face the Commander}
they that heard intreated (begged) that
the word should not be spoken to them any more:_____real scarey, dangerous attitude that is so prevalent today.
Don't be like so many in our society today who (if the opportunity arose) would say...
"God, I don't want to hear Your Word..any more!" "What does the Bible got to do with it anyway?"
Selah....

Warning: Stolen Identity??
Current Alert: My Identity Was Stolen,
and I hope yours was too....WHAT?
Sounds like a morbid blessing or an obvious curse. In our current state of affairs (in the Land of the Entitled and Home of the Afraid) .... we hear daily news of people's identities stolen via the Internet ...unseen predators via digital stealth, robbing away years of hard-earned livelihoods in a micro-second.
ALTHOUGH this is a travesty,
there is a greater nightmare ..
NOT HAVING MY HELL-BOUND IDENTITY STOLEN ...
Oh! By the way ...your eternity is up for grabs if your Hell-bound, lost identity has not been stolen away via the Cross of Jesus, His empty tomb and His bodily ressurrection that carries that lost identity beyond the reach of Hell's unseen predators. By faith in Christ's finished work on the cross, we have a new identity that is secure in His Eternal identity protection plan(John 3:16 - John 3:36 - John 5:24 etc.). The greatest enemy to God's plan for is PRIDE ...which will manifest itself in the ASSUMPTION that I must be a Christian because ....(then comes the string of frail or flabby reasons that have nothing to do with a turning point in our lives ...where we saw the seriousness of our sin, saw the penalty was Hell forever, saw Him as our only hope, and trusted Him to save us ) Any answer other than JESUS will fail us. I don't have to assume anything if I've taken Jesus at His Word and TRUSTED HIM for my eternity.
Romans 6:6 - Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed , that henceforth we should not serve sin.
2 Corinthians 5:17 - Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away ; behold , all things are become new.
Ephesians 4:22 - That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
STUFF HAPPENS WHEN MY OLD IDENTITY IS STOLEN AND I BECOME SECURE IN THE NEW ---- Eternity encompasses my living ...I live in light of the vanishing point.
Have you trusted Him to steal your old lost identity?
LIVE LIKE IT!

Scrap the Cross...There Has to be Another Way!
You know, the more I stand back and look at the gatherings that are called "church" , the more I wonder if we have set the old rugged cross away in relic container where we pull it out some times as a last resort to ward off evil spirits or to bolster our position. So much comparison ( My cross is bigger than yours!)and so little compassion (Let's kneel together!). So much fellowship is based on common complaints (Whine about the cost) instead of Christ-like companionship (Win the lost). THE CROSS HAS BEEN WHITE WASHED ...GUILDED WITH GOLD ...HUNG ON A CHAIN ... BE-DAZZLED... GLAM-I-FIED ...
...and not just physically.
The cross in this jewelry-like form has been added to the pile of powerless religious objects only to be worn if it is appropriate for the occasion. Similiar to what has happened to the cross in so many of our lives ...to be lived only if there is an obvious gain for our livelihood.
DO YOU TRULY REALIZE THAT
The Cross of Christ was the place where the penalty of sin, demanded by the law, was satisfied once and for all...for ALL who believe?
DO YOU TRULY REALISE THAT
The Cross of Christ was a heinous display of human cruelty and suffering and the participant died? HE DIED FOR AND BECAUSE OF YOUR SINS?
DO YOU TRULY REALISE THAT THROUGH FAITH YOU JOIN HIM THERE?
GALATIANS 2:20 "I am crucified what goes on a cross is not coming back unscarred or alive
....to stake ... drive down stakes ... to fortify with driven stakes ... to palisade .... to crucify ....to crucify one ..... to crucify alone with ... death.
with Christ: nevertheless I live ; I move and breath and have real life ...free from the curse of the law??
yet not I, what in the world am I ??? but Christ liveth in me: from the empty tomb to fill an empty heart ....
and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God Do I?, who loved me, and gave himself for me".
NOW HOW SHOULD THIS AFFECT OUR LIFE and OUR LIVES TOGETHER? IS THERE TRUE JOY AND LIBERTY TO BE FOUND WHEN CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST?
