Christians: Unite Behind Your Economic Clout
Canada Free Press ^ | 04/09/15 | Arnold Ahlert

Posted on 04/09/2015 3:36:26 PM PDT by Sean_Anthony

Get focused, get organized, and get economically determined. You have nothing to lose but the reflexive disrespect of those who have grown quite comfortable bashing your religion with impunity

Dear Christian Americans, it’s cards on the table time. As someone who deeply respects your faith, I feel compelled to offer you some heartfelt advice: That “turn the other cheek” thing isn’t working anymore.

In America, there’s a take-no-prisoners culture war going on, courtesy of an American Left whose definition of tolerance begins and ends with, “You either agree with us, or you’re bigots.” In the rest of the world, as the latest exclamation point from Kenya reveals, Christians are being exterminated with increasing regularity.

It’s time to wake up, stand up, and be counted—while there’s still time.

There’s only one problem. The theology of most of today’s Christians is that things are destined to get worse and Jesus is about to take us all away so why bother. Christians are totally neutralized.

How about if every Christian-owned business had Christian in the name? For example, Joe’s Christian Bakery. Christian Laundromat. Christian Family Groceries. Etc. And then other Christians can know who to patronize. Just a thought.

People of faith MUST step forward or it will be too late and all religious freedoms will be lost. We have much to lose but the churches have not stood up nor have they led their congregations to defend the Constitution. They don’t even encourage everyone to become active or go vote.

They have been silent way too long. That doesn’t happen in black churches! They get all they ask for and more.

If you have a mobile device, I recommend the app for “2nd Vote.” It’s a handy resource to determine the most conservative options when you spend your money, if you have a choice.

There’s only 4 things that will stop where we’re headed at this point. Economic sanctions isn’t one of them. For the full 4 point plan to restore America, see 2 Chronicles 7:14

I don’t trust businesses with “Christian” in their business name or on their business cards. If a business has to resort to saying ... “I’m a Christian business person!” in order to get business, then that doesn’t say much about their service or product.

I say this as a Christian, and not as a non-Christian or Christian-hater.

My experience with several so-called “Christian businesses” is that they think that “just being Christian” is enough to overcome either crappy service or shoddy workmanship.

If I have a roof put on the house, I don’t want the best “Christian” around, I want the best job done for the best price and with excellent workmanship!

The Bible says it’s going to get a whole lot worse before judgement comes and Jesus arrives shortly thereafter to set up his one-world government on this earth. You may not like to hear that this is going to happen, but it certainly is.

Jesus is coming shortly, and that would be within the lifetime of most people living in the USA. We’re not going much further down the road before the judgements in Revelation hit this earth!

Those "Christians" are a failure guilty of the true sin of sloth. The sin of sloth is rooted in despair which leads the sinner to spiritual laziness.

I plan on being fully engaged in the fight when God arrives.

I would simply say that conservatives should have the best price and/or the best quality and the best customer service, then they’ll get more than the conservative money ... LOL ...

That may be how it was. I’m suggesting making it a new standard for all businesses owned by Christians, so a huge number have that in their name and show the rest of the country how prevalent Christians are. A show of strength, in other words, combined with an easy way for consumers to show support for coreligionists. It will be up to the rest of us to police the behavior of the businesses, and ferret the ones who neither give good service or behave as good Christians.

I intend to be with Jesus, the Messiah of Israel, as I understand God wants me OUT OF THE WAY so as to give the AntiChrist a free hand to put his one-world government into place, so that it is judged, as we see in Revelation. After that, I return with the Messiah of Israel and the armies of Heaven and then the AntiChrist is destroyed by the power of Jesus.

Jesus, sets up his one-world government after that and rules over the nations of the world from Jerusalem. That’s what I’m looking forward to!

All I know is that we should be willing to put at least as much effort into protecting our religion as we put into protecting our guns.

It’s not “how it was” ... but how it is ... from what I see. It will take some time for that kind of behavior to change across the board, to get to the point where that could be considered a “badge of honor”. Right now, it is a “Badge of ‘just getting by’!”

You are so right, but I plan on going out swinging trying to take as many along with me as possible.

Just say NO to Angie's List!
