imho, There's MORE than sufficient truth in this article to leave most every Christian sobered if not very uncomfortable.

The list tends to be pinged in occasional spurts of activity as I make the time or come across articles I feel worthy to share.

The truth is that this nation and its Christian roots, in spite of whatever failings, has been more compassionate, more giving, the source of more blessings and prosperity, and the spreader of the Christian principles that underly all of that than any other nation in the history of the world. That's the truth and I am not ashamed of it...nor will I ever be...irrespective of whatever failings along the way.

"No country upon earth ever had it more in its power to attain blessings. Much to be regretted indeed would it be, were we to depart from the road which Providence has pointed us to, so plainly; I cannot believe it will ever come to pass. The Great Governor of the Universe has led us too long and too far to forsake us in the midst of it. We may, now and then, get bewildered; but I hope and trust that there is good sense and virtue enough left to recover the right path. " - George Washington

So he's hoping that good works, suffering and giving to the poor will make him a better Christian?

The tsunami wasn't a bad thing. 9/11 was a bad thing. Sin is a bad thing. Acts of nature are never bad things, though they cause sad results.

Sin is the disease. Not AIDS. Not poverty. Not pollution.

Please don’t think all Christians are just posers. Some of them really mean it when they say they belong to Christ. The problem is mostly in the West where we’re all comfy and complacent and seem to like it that way. The Christians in China and other places are deadly serious. There’s no room for anything but Jesus when you’re on the run from the government. They are dying every day for their faith and doing crazy hard things because they’re absolutely committed to Christ. These are martyrs. People willing to crucify little pieces of themselves every day to be more like Christ. People willing to set aside everything they want, to do what Christ wants. People willing to rot in prison or take a beating or die if that’s what it’s going to take. People that act in pure love and never back down. I’m not worthy to tie their shoes. And there are some like that here, too, and I hope we can get a lot more people to start living that way. It’s way overdue.

Wonderful article. This paragraph really jumped out at me. I drive by several megachurches every day and it's depressing that all of the millions they are spending on their churches and perks could be better spent helping the Christians being murdered day in and day out in Africa, China, and elsewhere.

It doesn't make me ashamed to be a Christian - I'll never be ashamed of that. It does make me ashamed to think that some of these people are my neighbors.

When the day comes, they aren't going to be given a free ride simply because they outspent the other megachurches down the street on who could have the bigger church or sound or video system or covered parking.

Won't be long, folks.

From Faith and Family email:

Rev. Rob Schenck, President of Faith and Action Read Rev. Schenck's Blog

Rev. Rob Schenck, president of the religiously conservative National Clergy Council and its affiliate, Faith and Action in the Nation's Capital, released this statement today as election results continue to be reported: "While pro-life, pro-family and pro-acknowledgement of God Americans are disappointed this morning in election outcomes, there is a silver lining in this otherwise dark election cloud. Democrats, who historically have opposed the sanctity of life, the sanctity of marriage and the public acknowledgement of God, nonetheless chose some moral conservatives among their ranks. This lean toward a more conservative Democratic Party is a good thing. There has been need for a moral reformation within the party. While last night's elections don't cure the moral problem in the core of the Democratic Party, it may moderate their previously and ardently pro-abortion, anti-marriage and radically secularist agenda. A good sign yesterday were the seven clear victories on state amendments defining marriage as between one man and one woman, and the likely passage of another when votes are fully counted. On the gloomy side, having a speaker of the house--the third person in constitutional succession to the president--who is a radical pro-abortion, pro-homosexual agenda, European-like secularist does make our mission of cultural moral reform difficult. The National Clergy Council, and its lay affiliate Faith and Action, prayerfully recommits itself to being a strong, unapologetic Christian witness to moral truth on Capitol Hill and in every state capital. With faith in God, confidence in the Gospel and great hope for America, we renew our mission to challenge Capitol Hill with biblical truth and change the nation one policymaker at a time! Today our ministry team sits in on two of the most critical sanctity of life cases to be heard at the Supreme Court since the 1973 Roe v. Wade opinion opened the blood-gates of abortion. Outside the Court our ministry partners will hold a prayer vigil and rally. In the end, our confidence is not in parties, politicians or judges and justices, but in a God who "changes not." He has preserved His people through terrible periods of ungodly barbarism, fierce persecution and satanic attacks. He will preserve his remnant again! Hallelujah! Now, back to the battle! Jesus said we must work while it is yet day, for night comes when no man can work! Let's get back to work to the glory of God!"
