Our Spiritual Responsibility for Our Country
Posted by: | Comments
We are at a critical time in the history of America. 2 philosophies have clashed at a crossroads, and just one can overcome and continue forward.
One rejects God a place in government, while the other insists His techniques are the foundation of regime. So we must ask ourselves, How long does the Lord bless a folk whose inclination is to turn their collective backs on Him? When a country recognizes Jehovah, the God of the Bible, as its Lord, then He favors that country with wealth, protection, and stability. At the moment, it’s right that we as a nation are the receivers of God’s rich blessings. But by the look of a couple America is being drawn away from the influence of Christianity. We are able to see the corruption which has resulted from the last century’s attempts at ignoring the state’s godly foundation. Our best enemy is not an external threat, but a menace inside our own borders : our disintegrating moral personality. To point our country back onto the right path, Christians must speak up. Our next step is clear and easy : repent of the sin of willful stupidity – first as a church and then as people – and become involved in the life of this nation. Jesus tells us to be salt and light, put simply, to persuade others with the truth of Scripture.
( Matthew 5:13-14 ) a technique to do this is by voting cleverly. Know the candidates’ platforms, and vote according to the foundations of God and our country, even if doing so will not provide benefits to you personally. This is our religious responsibility.
