Founding Fathers Were a Part of the Deception

The founding fathers of America were part of the deception that this was a Christian nation. They had a cultural Christianity.

 
America was founded on freedom of every religion, on personal wealth and safety, not on pleasing God. A motto is on our money: "in God we trust", ask why on the money? Also, our nation's motto is "for the people and by the people", not "for God and by God."

So often, people like to make up their own rules, their own way, and add God's name to it as though that makes it all credible.

 
Pentecostals are of this sort, they believe as long as they add God's name to something, it doesn't matter if it is Biblical as long as it works, it's called pragmatism, and it is not Biblical.

 
God wants us to do things His way as described in the Scriptures.
Effectiveness is not a measure of right or wrong; only truth from the Bible is our measure of right and wrong.

 
The only country that will ever be fully Christian is Israel at the end of the tribulation. The whole country will trust in Christ; no other nation ever has or ever will, only Israel.

Keep Looking Up

The reason God told us to focus on His return for His church is to give us continual peace and hope that we are here temporarily and our homegoing solves everything for us. Nothing is greater than going home to Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

Titus 2:13 "13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;"

It's hard for believers living in this world right now; we all experience unpleasant things, but we maintain our joy because of Christ.

Keep Looking Up!!!!

A Generation Primed to Trust in the Antichrist

This generation is primed for accepting the antichrist because they are always looking for a "hero" to follow, and that hero is not Christ.

 
This is also evident in church gatherings, where people look to the preacher, the political leader, or the famous person with smooth words to make them feel happy and safe.

 
The mentality of following someone who will give them everything they want is enormous with most people. They even become angry when we point out flaws that we should pay attention to, so we are not fooled.

 
Psalm 118:8-9 "It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes."

No one can really know these celebrities or leaders enough to get on their bandwagon. They very cleverly say what they think the people want to hear to entice them. And once they have drawn the people into their cult following, they can say or do anything, and those who follow them will ignore the bad defending them no matter what they do.

 
Those who follow men will ignore, defend and even deny the sin that is evidence of a bad spirit to maintain their good feelings.

 
Matthew 15:14 "Let them alone; they are blind guides. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”

1 Corinthians 1:10-13 "I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment. For it has been reported to me by Chloe's people that there is quarreling among you, my brothers. What I mean is that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” or “I follow Apollos,” or “I follow Cephas,” or “I follow Christ.” Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?"

When we follow Christ alone, we are free to evaluate everything men do and say without fear, boldly proclaiming God's truth even if someone's idol is exposed. We do not fear the retaliation of those who enjoy admiring those who promise grandiose things.

 
There are often many clues about the heart of a man that can be seen by discerning eyes. Yet, since most people think superficially, they will not accept what they don't like to hear.

 
Matthew 15:9 "In vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”

Galatians 1:9 "As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed."
2 John 1:9 "Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son."

2 John 1:9-11 "Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works."

God clearly wants us to evaluate everything according to the Bible with the guidance of the Holy Spirit so that we are not led away into cultural standards and false doctrine.
