I never really thought it this way, but did you realize that many of the unbelievers in the world think that the ultimate goal of Christians is to create a totalitarian government? That we want to force everyone to become Christians and then to strictly adhere to all of the "rules" in the Bible?
You know, that thought never even crossed my mind.
I've always seen Christianity as being a light in a dark world. That as Christians, the fight we are fighting is to keep morality from eroding and to offer hope to those who are lost.
Even Christians cannot follow all of the rules all of the time, it's impossible. That is why we have Jesus, His blood covers our sins once we've asked to be forgiven. God knows that as human beings we are going to mess up - often.
Click here to read a recent article in the L.A. Times, about how many non-believers perceive Christianity.
I find it ironic that the non-believer thinks that Christians are trying to MAKE them be Christians - we aren't, we are just offering hope. It is also ironic, that as morality continually erodes in the world, non-believers act so indignant that Christians won't so readily accept their point of view.
We sure don't see non-believers readily accepting a Christian point of view though do we?

An enigma....
I continue to come across countless news stories where what you would think are fairly intelligent people, are quoted as saying that teaching children about Christianity, intelligent design, and the 10 commandments is nothing but child abuse and brainwashing.
How moronic is that?
These same people are the ones who defend the rights of movie makers, television show producers, and musicians to manufacture filth all wrapped up in pretty little packages and delivered right into the laps of our children.
"Don't filter the Internet." they cry out! "Pornography and premarital sex are harmless." they exclaim.
"There is no God, there is no moral code." Is the message they preach to the children of the world.
And yet, still - Christians are the ones called abusers and brainwashers of innocent children.
Go figure.....

Morality guided by biology not theology...
Excuse me for a few seconds while I laugh uncontrollably.
It's the best laugh I've had all week.
Click here to read a New York Times article on how research has shown that a study of primate behavior has show signs of morality formation. The crux of the "scientific" results is that the biological make-up of a primate (therefore an individual) is what determines their morality.
No more right and wrong folks!
No more sin to make us feel guilty. We are born criminals, drug dealers, killers, homosexuals, pedophiles, you name it - and there isn't anything we can do about it.
Of course this message of hope for the non-believer will be eagerly welcomed and accepted. Science like anything has its purpose but disproving the existence of God and making excuses for all immoral acts is just down right wrong.
All truth is God's truth - all lies are from the enemy.

An upside down world...
In today's Internet postings alone, I learned the following things:
1. Bush is the worst president in the history of the U.S. States.
2. Bill Clinton was one of the best presidents of the United States.
3. America is evil and wants nothing less than to rule the entire world.
4. Saddam Hussein was an alright kinda' guy.
5. Osama Bin Laden is simply a scapegoat and really didn't have anything to with 9/11 (even though he's captured on video admitting it himself!).
6. N. Korea and Iran are two very nice countries, ruled by really great leaders and have absolutely no ill will or nefarious intentions against any other country and especially America.
I could just keep going on and on but my stomach has gotten quite nauseous. The enemy has been very, very successful in filling people's minds with darkness, confusion, hate, and anger.
Beware folks, he's trying to do the same thing to us!

I've got a plan....
You know, I've got this secret to reveal - I like to eat dirt.
Now, I know that sounds "different" but please, don't judge me for it, I was born that way!
I have no control or say so whatsoever about my "different" cravings, and even though I know that it is dangerous for my body and can cause me to be ill - I just can't stop. So, since I'm unable to control my urges, I need to be understood, coddled, pampered, and encouraged. Now when I say encouraged - what I mean is, you keep telling me that what I am doing is okay - I surely don't want to hear anything negative about my way of life - even if it is something that could save my life.
You know, about 25 years ago I was just happy to be an American citizen that was free to fulfill my urges in the privacy of my own home. I never had to worry about "storm troopers" knocking my front door down and whisking me away to prison because I was "different". I was absolutely free to practice my lifestyle.
But then things changed - I changed. I decided that I wasn't happy practicing my unique lifestyle in private. For you see, there is great amount of guilt that comes from my lifestyle choice, I mean most folks just don't understand the pleasure that I get from eating nice dark black dirt! So, I decided that in order for me to feel less guilty about what I do, I need to actually hear from my fellow citizens that even though I'm different - I'm still okay. I need to know that once they find out about my uniqueness, they will eagerly open their arms and offer me a real big hug. I also figured out, that if I announce to the world that I no longer want to hide my lifestyle, I will quickly be able to figure out who the good and nice people are and also who the haters are - haters being anyone who does not warmly and openly accept my lifestyle.
But you know, having the freedom to exercise my right to eat dirt in public, in front of anyone and everyone that I can accost and perhaps even offend - well, that got old also. I really think that the best way for me to not feel guilty anymore is to actually start teaching the world that my choice of lifestyle is actually the correct choice and that everyone else's - to not eat dirt, is wrong.
Yeah, maybe that will make me feel better about my choice of lifestyle.
But you know, although I enjoy being an American citizen and exercising my freedom of speech, and I take full advantage of my right to make fun of non-dirt-eating people - I just cannot stand the idea that those haters, those self-righteous judgemental bigots have the same right to stand up and speak out against my lifestyle. I mean, how dare they take offense to my attempts to push my lifestyle off on their children at school. How dare they take offense to my ability to promote my different lifestyle in the movies, and on television. I mean, I think it's great that I've gotten a few of my good friends, fellow dirt eaters - to use their powerful influence to make it look like we are a far greater number than we really are - that's pretty impressive don't you think?
Isn't it remarkable how so few of us have still been able to get some states to pass laws against voicing any negative opinions against dirt eaters? We've even convinced some states to pass laws to allow dirt eaters to marry each other and to adopt children so that we can indoctrinate them on our unique lifestyle. The real "cherry on top" event for us though has been the establishment of churches based on our lifestyle.
I mean how dare those people who call themselves Christians tell us that what we are doing is wrong. I mean, Jesus - during his entire ministry never once said "thou shalt not eat dirt". So, if He didn't out rightly say that eating dirt was a sin, then by golly it's not sin. But you know, even if He had said it outright - it would have been for a different generation, it certainly would not have pertained to me and my generation.
We dirt eaters have made great progress in these past few years but you know, I'm still not happy. I think maybe, once we've made it a crime to NOT eat dirt, maybe - just maybe I'll be happy. Maybe, if we change all of the American history books to show that all of the major movers and shakers and all of the heroes were in fact dirt eaters, then maybe I'll be happy.
But I doubt it.
P.S. I don't really like to eat dirt.

Satan's agenda....
His plan of attack is to indoctrinate our children in the ways of darkness. Start them young, the younger the better, and it will be all that much harder to reach them and get them to open their hearts to a God who loves them dearly.

Have you ever noticed....
How when a person who declares themselves a Christian makes a mistake, like speaking out of pride, or calling someone else an insulting name, or gets caught exaggerating or telling a lie - the world system immediately declares all Christians overbearing, offensive liars who should be immediately burned at the stake?
But, whenever a non-believer, especially one downright opposed to God and Christianity does exactly the same type of things - they are declared to be bold, brave, and creative?
I'm not justifying sin. I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of non-believers.
That's the great thing about being a Christian; if I confess my mistake (sin) to God He is willing and able to immediately forgive me. If I'm truly repentant, I do not have to feel condemned by what I've done. I will probably still have to suffer the consequences of my actions - as far damaging a relationship with someone or appearing to be someone that cannot be trusted but God still loves me anyway.
At least I'm not continually living in a lie and being praised for my wrongs!
How warped is that?

Christians and the "Dangerous" factor...
I've mentioned several times in the past how the world system is trying to brand Christians and Christianity as "dangerous" in an attempt to persuade Christians to shut-up, roll-over, and play dead. Those who are not truly living by faith will find it much easier to distance themselves from Christianity when they know that the world perceives them as dangerous or crazy. They simply will not be able to stand up to that type of branding. Click here to read yet another article about the results of a "scientific" study about people who are Christians and how that fact alone makes them more prone to violence towards non-believers.
Can we say "Crapola" with a capital "C"?
Oh no, I forgot - since I'm a Christian I'm not allowed to say "crap". I'm also not allowed to speak out about threats to Christianity; nor am I supposed to point out all of the lies being perpetrated by the enemy's drones.
Wrong.
Don't let the world tell you what you can and cannot do - they have no clue as to what a Christian should and should not be doing. Since they are totally unwilling to live by God's laws and principles, they have absolutley no authority whatsoever in laying out the ground rules for Christians.

The great divide....
In a previous post I made a comment about topics that are dividing churches and entire denominations with homosexuality being at the top of the list. Click here to read an article that backs my belief on the subject of division.
