I just do not believe everything I see and hear on the news. I do not believe every thought and fear that flies through my mind,, but I do believe in the Word of the Lord! I believe in the promises of God,,, and I believe there are enough Americans still out there to make a difference.
Are we surrounded? Do the news reports look bad? Perhaps it is worse than it has ever been,, I do not know. But,, if so,, then this generation of Americans are good enough to rise to the occasion to make a difference.
I believe there is a coming revival that will move and change drastically the political landscape of this nation. God can change hearts and minds,, His presence can change lives in a moment of time. The Gospel of Jesus Christ can do more in a day than political parties can achieve in years.
The truth is,, there have always been many dangerous times in America and in the world. President Wilson arrested 150,000 Americans under the sedition act. The civil war may seem nostalgic now,, but at the time it surely was not!
Attitude is everything. That is why the news is discouraging. It is meant to demoralize us.
I will not be discouraged. I am encouraged.
I applaud your spirit.
However there is no nationalism in Christianity. There cannot be. Jesus made this clear in his statement “Render unto Ceasar what is Ceasar’s and unto God what is God’s” Though we are a government of the people (supposedly) we are not of this world. We MUST not be. We are destined to be creatures of pure Spirit. We must not cling to this world and it’s ways. Nationalism is not godly. I love my nation but this has nothing to do with my Christianity.
