If My People

Given April 5, 2007
Our world is in bad shape. We see chaos and every evil thing all around us. I heard recently some teachers in the United Kingdom are not teaching about the holocaust for fear of offending muslims. A mock hostage drill at a New Jersey high school portrayed conservative Christians as terrorists. Do these type of stories scare you? Do we just sit back and shake our heads helplessly? Is there anything we can do?

“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. 2 Chronicles 7:14“. Yes, it’s up to US, God’s people!

If Christians would get out of the pew, set aside their denominational differences, join in repentance and prayer, and seek God, we cold turn this thing around. And don’t you think politicians would take notice. For example, if ALL Christians would unify and demand that scripture verses be placed on cereal boxes, eager-to-please politicians would give in and do it! The way it is now, a small, but very pushy, portion of the population is dictating what goes on.

God told Solomon if he would, “do all I have said and follow My commands, 1 Kings 3:14” he and his kingdom would be blessed. That’s what we need to do before we lose even more of our freedoms.

Get involved in the political process. Study the candidates to see what they stand for. Don’t listen to what they say because they’ll say anything to get elected. Study the way they’ve voted in the past and support the men and women who more closley believe and act as you do. The future of our country depends on us, God’s people.
