"In His great mercy He has given us new birth into A LIVING HOPE through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." 1 Peter 1:3, NIV
Last night sucked; I'm not going to sugarcoat it, last night really sucked.
There is hope, but only in Christ.
A year ago, during Occupy Wall St., I was exactly where you are today. Republicans were (are) ineffective, people were (are) hooked on Big Government, and idiot college kids were (are) only interested in having their alcohol consumption and sexual promiscuity subsidized. I felt despair, and it really, really, sucked.
Then I started reading the Bible.
The specifics of why I started reading scripture aren't important, but it started with a David Barton video; what's important is that I started with Genesis 1:1 and continued, five chapters per day, until I reached Revelation 22:21.
If you are politically conservative, understand this: God wants a relationship with you, and you already agree with 90-95% of what He thinks. We are in a spiritual war and taking it on by ourselves is insane. God is willing to be our clean-up hitter, but we first have to ask Him.
Buy a Bible, start reading it, and find a local Church this Sunday; trust me.
Thanks, Adam. We really need this today. I have to admit, my faith has been shaken. I need to get back to basics.
ReplyDeleteThanks, again!
No problem!!!

DeleteI already am in church for awhile now. I do loose it when I see my own people, Americans, knowing almost nothing about history. Islam is not the major issue, but it is for me. The last genocide happened in the Sudan. Muslims massacred Christians, plain and simple. The crazy liberals will even say stuff like " it's not all muslims" or "we can't make laws against a religion". Meanwhile they will try to pass laws against Jewish and Christian values.
