God helps those who help themselves. Just throwing up your hands and saying "It's all up to Jesus" isn't going to help one bit.
Scripture reference?
God's Word says basically the opposite. Trust in HIM, and obey... It worked when the Hebrews had to cross the Red Sea, and it worked when Jehoshaphat and the people of Jerusalem were besieged by the Hagarites, Ammonites, and Moabites, and they just went out singing praises to the LORD - and the LORD delivered them (2 Chronicles 20)...
HE has said:
Psalms 50:15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
Just throwing up your hands and saying "It's all up to Jesus" isn't going to help one bit.
'Judges Gone Wild' really didn't say that... He said 'Jesus holds our lives in HIS hands'.
I'm sure the founders of this country believed and knew the same thing. The point is not to be focused on any idolatry - be it political parties, or whatever. Service to HIM who saved us ('For God so loved the world that HE gave HIS only begotten SON, that whosoever believeth in HIM should not perish but have everlasting life), and eternal life are in Jesus' hands alone...
That said, there is a time to live, and a time to die. A time of peace, a time of war. A great number of our forefathers were believers. There came a time for them to fight tyranny... We will see what the LORD has in store for us. But however it plays out, our lives are in HIS hands. Praise the LORD!
Folks can turn off the NFL for starters.
My sentiments exactly. Those that think Jesus is going to come riding in to save the day had better wake up. We have to do this ourselves. Standing around like a bunch of Amish will not keep these communist pukes out of our lives.
