AUTHOR CONTINUES

If the Supreme Court sanctions gay marriage, God and country will both soon fade away. America will fast become like Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Germany. It may be that the day is near when any church unwilling to preach the State’s “gospel” will not be allowed to exist. (Woe to churches which currently meet on public property — in school auditoriums, for example.)

If we Christian’s are no longer able to share what the God of the Universe has revealed to us, how can anyone’s thinking on gay marriage or abortion or taking care of the planet or whatever be shaped or swayed?

I walked past a parked car the other day that was plastered with bumper stickers championing a far-left point of view. One that especially grabbed my attention said, “The last time religion and politics mixed, People got burned at the stake!”

The Mainstream News Media and idiotic pop culture are ruining the country.

Probably the most important influence today to (saving) American culture is an obvious display of church attendence and righteous/holy living.

Yeah, I know .. lifestyle evangelism was tried years ago and was labeled heresy and lazy/cowardly evangelization.

I remember, though ,,, in the 50's, in Boston ... everything was shut down on Sunday and the neighborhood(s) were empty of people at home ... we were all in church(es)

My best friend was a Congregationalist while I was being taught to be a Catholic

Perhaps people today are more concerned with whose image is on their own coin and less defined by WWJD.

It must be words and deeds irrespective of the personal cost, even unto death. Surrender ones wealth and then speak the truth directly to those in authority. Ones life must be the example. I note the Christians enemies immediately attack a persons wealth: cost them their jobs, fines seizures etc. Remember Christ and the rich youth. The latter asked Christ that while he kept all the commandments what must he do to be saved, to which Christ asked him to give up all his wealth and follow him.

The early Christians first impacted the Roman during the time of Nero when Seneca noted the Christian women would come each morning and rescue the abandoned infants at a fountain the Romans had dedicated to such use. Deeds as well as words.

“..... the Christian way of life, is being shoved out of not only politics but the American culture.”

Or, it could be the lack thereof, just as Israel fell to hedonism.
