IGNORANT!

My Belief

I had a little bit of a shock moment last week. I was flying with a sharp first officer. She was a nice girl that was athletic, well traveled, and knowledgeable about many things. While cruising across the country we where chatting a little bit. I don’t really recall about what, but I will never forget one particular moment in our conversation. We must have strayed into politics or current events and I asked her, “Who do you think will win in November?” She replied, “I guess Obama. But I don’t even know who he is running against”. I sat beside myself for a second! How could this bright intelligent person have no idea about what is going on in the leadership of our country. I feel that she and so many others are so absorbed in their own self interested lives that they have no idea that the “house” they are in is on FIRE!

I also can’t believe the polls in this election are so close. Most states and nation wide polls show a dead heat between President Obama and Gov. Romney. How can this be?!?! We have record unemployment, fiscal instability, and continuing scandal from this administration. Even so, people go about as things are business as usual and there is nothing to see or worry about here.

People are just plain IGNORANT and happy to be that way. Our current events are directly connected to our spiritual status. Just as people have no idea about what is going on in the nation, they have no idea how all of this relates directly to the Bible and what God has foretold. God has said that just as things were in the days of Noah, when people went about eating and drinking and making merry, yet they had no idea that destruction was upon them, the same would be true of the end of the age. People have no idea about God and the Bible anymore. They have no idea the God considers our ramped homosexuality and waywardness an abomination in his sight. They have no idea that the Middle East is on fire and ripe for the Antichrist to takeover. They have no idea that Israel’s friends have turned their backs on them and they are now back into a corner. Soon there will be global war and economic catastrophe and so many of us sit on our hands and wonder what we should do on the weekend!

PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE! I pray that America will wake up. I pray that people will realize the financial, moral, and ethical cliff we are falling off of.

Spiritual

Luke 17:26-27

²⁶ “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. ²⁷ People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

Application

We were founded as a Christian nation on Biblical principles. We became the most powerful economic and military power the world has ever seen in record time because of it. The true believers in Jesus must stand firm on the Word and pray that the Holy Spirit will draw people around us close. We have a clear choice in this election. If we continue down the path we are on, then we will deserve the government that we get. I pray that we will wake people up, and get them informed that our Holy God has a time limit on His Mercy.

Jesus eats at Chick-Fil-A

My Belief

I just had lunch at Chick-fil-a and it was AWESOME!!! Not because the food was any better than usual, but because I had to WAIT in line FOREVER!!! Today is the day that Gov. Mike Huckabee asked the nation to come out in support of Chick-fil-a and Christians got the message loud and clear! I had to wait 15 minutes to order my food and then I had to wait about 10 more minutes before it was ready. This is nothing close to “FAST FOOD” today. I loved every minute of it and everybody else did too! Dan Cathy the CEO of CFA came out more than a week ago in full faced support of the Bible and it’s stance on marriage and homosexuality. Dan pronounced boldly and clearly that by America becoming a “GAY” accepting nation WE are inviting the wrath of God upon ourselves. In the days immediately after his statements, both the mayors of Boston and Chicago came out in an effort to smash Dan Cathy and Chick-fil-a. They both declared that Dan and CFA were bigots and CFA’s values are not their cities values. It was made clear by both mayors that CFA is not welcome in Boston or Chicago and any establishments they had should be shut down and run out of town!

Apparently these mayors do not know that a HUGE percentage of the population in this country and their cities are CHRISTIANS THAT BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE AND IDENTIFY DIRECTLY WITH DAN CATHY AND CFA’S SAME VALUES!!! I have been praying for our nation because we have turned so far from God. I am so thankful that Dan had the courage to STAND FIRM on the Word of God. I am also so thankful that God’s people led by the Holy Spirit are getting behind this loud clear stance on the Bible. 

God has always support His people and turned the tables on our enemies. He hung Haman on his own gallows when he tried to destroy Esther and Mordechai. He smashed Pharaoh under the full weight of the Red Sea when he would not let God’s people go, and I am 100% sure the mayors of Boston and Chicago have sealed their own fate by attacking CFA and Dan Cathy. God loves us and He loves it when we stand upon His truth.

Scripture

2 Chronicles 7:14

if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land

Application for Life

I pray for a 3rd great awakening in this country before God’s Wrath falls heavy upon us. I pray that so many more of us that have been put into great positions would rise up as Dan has done in full support of God’s Word. I am fearful of economic collapse and the wayward culture that has gripped America, BUT NOT as fearful as I am of God’s anger. God calls the way America is living an abomination in His eyes. I pray that you and I would be salt and light in this dark place and the Holy Spirit would work through us to change the hearts and minds of our nation. Only a majority of Americans who live by means of the Spirit can put America on a course away from God’s Judgment. Thank you Dan Cathy for pointing the tip of the spear!
