I quit worrying about what others say. Ive been on FR since before Monica had dirty laundry and have been called everything in the book. When your flesh dies, you try to live in the Spirit. If calling names can stop you speaking of Jesus, then Satan has won. If believing Scripture gets a call of uneducated southerners who are racist war mongers. I prefer the title Jesus Freak. Was Jesus a fundamentalist extremist? Was going to the cross for someone like me a waste of His life? If He could do that for me, I can look foolish for Him. Thinking themselves wise, they became fools. If you really fall in love with Him, nothing else matters.

This is supposed to be a conservative site with many Christians. Try to reply to someone that God created the universe in 6 days. You will be called ignorant and uneducated. Then quote Romans 1:18-32. The reason we have sodomy, murder, envy, strife, unforgiving people, ect, is because we won't say God created the universe. If you don't believe the universe was created by God in 6 days, you will never get prophesy. Is there anything to hard for God? We have been given over to a debased mind. There is a reason the world is getting worse, yet they can't admit that they just don't believe God and Genesis. They believe their mind is just fine and that we are the kooks. They will have their day in front of Jesus to explain their differences with the Word of God.

At some point you have to believe God, or call HIM a liar. If you have trouble with Genesis, you will have a fit with the virgin birth, the sun stopping in the sky for 3 hours, the blind seeing, the lame walking, leprosy cured, and dead men coming out of tombs. Did Goliath die from a stone from a teen? Did one angel kill 185k in one night?

We all look through the Scriptures trying to discern what we want to believe and don't. When you believe it all, then you receive righteousness imputed to you. Noah found righteousness because he believed God. Abraham got the same. If you want to be used by God, you have to believe what He says. If all Satan has to do is call you a name, you've lost before you start. You have already beaten the odds by believing in Jesus. He's calling you and everyone else to step out in faith to be useful to the Kingdom. Just think of Paul being imprisoned, beaten, stoned, and finally murdered because he didn't care what people thought about him. Worrying what people think about you means you haven't completely put your flesh to death. All of the Apostles were put to death for their faith, save John. Jesus told you that He was persecuted, so would you be also. Peter said he didn't know Jesus 3 times. Was that a good experience?

Think about your conversion experience and ask yourself if you really want His blood covering. Has something changed in the way you felt that day? If you would do it all over again, then contemplate what you agreed to do. If you are ashamed of Him, He will be ashamed of you. Every statistic shows the church is struggling. It's because we are His hands and feet, but we aren't "going out". If Christians "went out", would we have prayer in school? Abortion? Gay marriage? Obama for 8 years? School shootings? I grew up in the 50's and 60's. We left the keys in the car and our doors were not locked. I bought my first rifle a 7.62 mm Russian mouser from Sears for $12 at 12 years old. I took it home on my Sting Ray bike with ape hangers right through town. No one said a word. My parents didn't have to OK it. A few years later, they took prayer from schools. No One said a word. Any crime chart you look at got worse from that day on. Murder, Rape, Robbery, assault, burglary, you name it, it got worse. If my parents had marched in the streets with signs, formed rally's to remove politicians and judges, They would have been the "kook's of the day. After all, everyone knows prayer doesn't really work. Now we have children deciding they are the opposite sex or something in between and if I tell someone we need to acknowledge God as our creator as in Romans 1, you can almost hear the howls. In the next few years, you won't believe what is in store for these stiff necked people. All we have to do is 2 Chron 7:14, to bring sanity back to the world. What are the odds? Most don't even see the problem let alone the solution. We just watched as a woman refused to sign her name to a marriage license and she was locked up. Believing in the Word of God has made us unemployable today. Prison will be next. Our families will be in jeopardy for what we say we will believe. Scripture says there will be a day we will be forced to renounce the name of Jesus or we will be beheaded. We can take the mark of the Antichrist today. There is no need to wait for that day. Silence is an answer. Not voting is an answer. Indifference is an answer,

God Bless You.
