Rejecting the cultural Christianity I grew up with to embrace and enjoy a relationship with Jesus Christ. A place to come and share thoughts about almost anything. Especially things of the Lord. Please no Anonymous posts, I enjoy knowing who is writing to me.

Obey Christ not Man
I was mocked and demeaned by Christians when I said that there is no command in scripture to vote for our leaders, meaning we are free to choose to vote or not to vote.
Here's the thing; Our country is so wicked right now that "even the elect are being fooled" about everything. They are judging people as Christians who are not and have no life testimony of having been changed by Christ into a new creation. They equate "conservatism" with Christianity.
I hear prominent preachers chastising the people to vote as though it were a command of God when it is not. If we are a remnant, and I know that we are, what makes these preachers think we can put our thumb on the scales and make a difference causing people to do what is right.
When God said we are to be salt and light He didn't mean make unsaved people follow God's principles, He meant to bring the gospel to the unsaved. We are not about making unsaved people look like good people we are to encourage them to become born again so they will "Be" what God will make them if they trust in Christ.
Jermiah 11:13-15 "…13 Your gods are indeed as numerous as your cities, O Judah; the altars of shame you have set up—the altars to burn incense to Baal—are as many as the streets of Jerusalem.’ 14 As for you, do not pray for these people. Do not raise up a cry or a prayer on their behalf, for I will not be listening when they call out to Me in their time of disaster. 15 What right has My beloved in My house, having carried out so many evil schemes? Can consecrated meat avert your doom, so that you can rejoice?…"
We have a statue of a false god hovering over this country in New York Harbor that most "Christians" think is a simple of liberty but that is really a worship of freedom instead of God. It was given to us by a pagan nation, France. It is the Roman goddess Libertas.
Most Christians in this country have been brainwashed to believe we are a Christian nation, but the brand of it is cultural, not godly.
We know the god in most hearts is not the God of the Bible but their own desires, their own freedom, their love of self.
No one who is born-again would be angry when scripture is quoted to prove the truth, and yet I see this all the time among churchgoers. At the very least they ignore the truth teller completely and even exclude them in subtle ways to keep them from having influence.
We are a remnant in our country and in the world, we have no political power but we are not called to that, we are called to speak the gospel and encourage those who have become born again to follow the Words of Christ. He is the Word, the Bible is His instruction book to us, to ignore it is to ignore Him. To change what He says is to demean Him.
John 20:30-31
"30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name."
John 1:1
"1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
Jesus Christ is the Word, He is the essence of His Own Word.
Once again I write; to ignore the word of God is to ignore Christ.
