Luke 12:48
But he who did not know and did things worthy of a beating shall be beaten with few [lashes]. For everyone to whom much is given, of him shall much be required; and of him to whom men entrust much, they will require and demand all the more.
Who’s been entrusted more than America? God blessed us with the greatest Nation that has ever been.Great wealth, great freedom. And what have Christians gave back in return? We’ve sat on our hands while others spit in his face all over again. We elect the “lesser of to evils,” which is still evil by the way ( that’s for you freepers who love to tell us a lesser evil republican is better than a more evil Democrat ). I could go on, but everyone gets the point.
We are going to be disciplined first, by God. It’s happening already. He’s giving us opportunities to stand up and fight and we still keep sitting on our hands. Then the persecution will start, and it looks like it’s coming quickly. We better start selling our cloaks for swords if get what I’m saying.
Last week returning from Easter worship I saw a billboard: Church should be fun. My warm feelings turned sour. One of the non-denom churches in town looking to draw a bigger crowd. Read about the church in places like Syria and China. There is a devotion to Christ and his Word that puts us to shame. The world is not worthy of them. But fun? Is taking up your cross, denying self fun? Is walking upstream against the culture fun? And so, many will walk away when the fun is over. Yet it’s a blessed thing to follow Christ because we know in whom we believe. A living Savior who gives us a living hope.
