Today seems a very appropriate time – ELECTION DAY – to share with you an article that my deceased husband wrote two years prior to his death. Yet, may his words LIVE ON, to give someone wisdom today and in the days ahead. I have cut/paste it in its entirety with no editing on my part.  

Christian American

versus

American Christian     

David L. Stephens     Jan. 2007

I watched a U.S. senator, who had announced his Christianity and then addressing the Senate used the Bible to promote the acceptance of “Gays” in society.  I found it interesting to note, even though he acknowledged there are two sections of the Bible, one in the Old Testament and one in the New Testament which condemn homosexuality, he concluded that Jesus had never mentioned the subject and His teaching on love overruled any condemnation.  I wondered, can a man think that his morality is higher than that of God’s?  Jesus preached love, yet He did not endorse sin of any kind, only forgiveness of sin for those that would repent.  He died so that our sins could be forgiven and that we might overcome the life of sin that controlled us.  He gave us the power to choose life and “sin no more”.   Homosexuality is still a sin and the penalty has not been rescinded.

The Blood of Jesus was not a means of licensing a lifestyle of sin free from penalty.

The church has no authority to rewrite the Scriptures and endorse homosexuality as an accepted life style.  It does clearly state that homosexuality is the result of a carnal mind and that a carnal mind cannot know God.  Yet in some denominations, ministers, who can not know God, have risen to the rank of bishop.  Why would Christians submit to a person with a reprobate mind, and one that is an abomination in God’s sight, as a minister of the Lord?  It is only where the Word of God is not accepted as authority, and therefore where Jesus, The Word, is not accepted as the Head of the Church.  If they are not a follower of Christ’s teachings, then they are not true Christians.

We had a former President that went to his pastor, a PHD’d minister within a Baptist denomination, that instructed him concerning abortion.  He said it was all right that the child could be killed in the womb, as it was not life until it was birthed.  Armed with this revelation, the President was now freed from the responsibility of protecting the unborn American child.  God recognized the personage of the unborn child, and called them by name in the womb.  The unborn child, John the Baptist, recognized the presence of the child, Jesus, in the womb of Mary.  If God recognizes the unborn as life, and declares it so, then any one who speaks to the contrary, must be supernaturally ignorant.  Christianity does not endorse abortion or any other form of murder.  Murder is sin and Satan is its author. There is not a Christian ministry or minister of Christianity apart from the Word of God.

We took the God and His Word out of the schools.  Apart from the Word there is no knowledge other than that discovered by man.  Science does not acknowledge God or morality.  We effectively removed the lessons of discerning of Good from Evil.  We have removed the knowledge of sin from society with the removal of the God’s Word.  With the acceptance of Gay Rights we have unleashed the destruction of the family and the doctrine of marriage.  Every time we compromise Biblical Standards we unleash evil destruction in our midst.  When we accepted the idea of banning Religious men’s influence in the government as the interpretation of “the government’s non interference with religious institutions” we allowed ourselves to be gagged and bound legally.  Now that our legal system has cast out God’s Law, in its place can only be godless law.   The law of the land is now murder for life, gay rights in place of morality, foolishness for wisdom, and fools replacing righteous judges.  Instead of peace and wisdom in the government, we have strife, and where there is strife there is every evil work.  We have a divided senate and a divided house, not “ONE NATION UNDER GOD.”  How long can a divided nation stand?

We sing God Bless America and then we fail to honor Him with our lifestyles.  We point the finger at the ungodly in office as the fault, but we accepted their promises and supported their party instead of promoting the Word.   We pray in faith but fail to act in faith.  We have forgotten that faith without works is dead, and our nation is dying spiritually.  We have endorsed freedom of religion in the place of going out and preaching the Gospel to all men.  There is no freedom of any kind apart from the Word of God, only the bondage of evil.  We stand at the threshold of decision, the choice of having a Christian America or America without Christ.  There is no compromise between the Powers of Light and darkness.  To compromise is to separate oneself from God by choice.  If you put America before Christ, then you have made America an abomination without Christ.  “Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done in America as in Heaven.” is the prayer that needs to be sent towards Heaven.

When the Kingdom is sought first, then all the blessing will be added unto America.      

Amen.

USA – As Sodom and Gomorrah?

Reading some sobering verses today, in light of the fact that Obama came out in support of same sex marriages this past week. And then hearing all the heathen rejoicing in it, it has disturbed my soul, especially as I read these verses today.

Psalm 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
Psalm 9:20 Put them in fear, O Lord: that the nations may know themselves to be but men.

And then I read on and saw this verse:
Psalm 12:8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.

God have mercy on the USA.

We are becoming as Sodom and Gomorrah of Genesis 19:  The angels went to rescue Lot at Abraham’s persuasion, and yet the angels words (vs 12) were:

“Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, 13because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the Lord against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it.”

The Bible plainly states in the New Testament what the sin was of that city that met with God’s wrath, in Jude 1:7…”Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange(Greek: different, other) flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.”

“Going after strange flesh” in the Bible is not necessarily homosexuality, as we are warned about the “strange” adulterous woman in Proverb 5:20; 7:5; but, the context of Jude 1:7 clearly implies homosexuality.  “Going after strange flesh” means going after flesh “different” than what is rightfully ours to claim (our spouse’s body -1st Corinthians 7:4).  Notice that Jude mentions both “fornication” and “going after strange flesh.” 

Obviously, Sodom’s sins were more than fornication. The “strange” flesh simply refers to that which is forbidden by God for us to have, it is flesh outside the bounds of God’s laws; hence, the term “sexual deviance” (to deviate from what is acceptable to God).

We also read in 2nd Peter 2:6,7…“And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an example unto those that after should live ungodly; And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked.”

The “filthy conversation” of the wicked, literally means, the “filthy manner of life” of the wicked.  The Greek noun for “conversation” is “anastrophe,” which means, “behavior.”  Hence, Sodom and Gomorrah were saturated with sexual deviance, filthy behavior, and every form of godlessness known to mankind.

Oh, but my heart is heavy, with the condition of society today.  God is a Just Judge. I have been reading about His Judgment Written.  It is clear, so clear, in the scripture, that which the heathen and unrighteous will receive.

Believers and those who have known Christ but have backslidden into the corrupt ways of the world, Pray and turn yourselves unto the Lord, and receive his mercy.  If enough people turn, to God, we may be able to turn away the impending judgment that the USA faces.  Otherwise, knowing God has the right to judge the wicked, and our nation, may we pray for deliverance of ourselves, His righteous ones.

The safest place to be right now is secure in the hands of Your Loving Lord. So if you are “out of his hands” – get back in! And be quick about it!  Time is running out.

Is the USA about to be Judged?

IN GOD WE TRUST      Do We NOW?

I must share this video link with all of you today, and ask that you view it, without delay!!

I bear witness in my heart to the message that is being given, and I personally am responding to God’s message, and am in prayer for all of us…God’s Children within the USA…to be given wisdom in how to live out our response to the serious warning being given.

Hebrews 3:15 is a good verse to keep in mind as you open the video link and soberly ponder the message of God’s warnings to the USA : As it has been said, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion.”  or as the CEV version simplifies it:  ”If you hear his voice today, don’t be stubborn like those who rebelled.”
