The Time Has Come

"Don't you realize that this is not the way to live? Unjust people who don't care about God will not be joining in his kingdom. Those who use and abuse each other, use and abuse sex, use and abuse the earth and everything in it, don't qualify as citizens in God's kingdom. A number of you know from experience what I'm talking about, for not so long ago you were on that list. Since then, you've been cleaned up and given a fresh start by Jesus, our Master, our Messiah, and by our God present in us, the Spirit." 1 Corinthians 6:9-11

The time has come for us, as followers of Christ to take a stand for Jesus.

As many, if not all of you know, our President announced his approval of same-sex marriage. 

As devastating as this news was and is, it should move us to our feet. It should open our eyes and prick our hearts. It should teach us that we cannot be passive, quiet, or complacent in our faith anymore. 

Jesus has called us, brethren, you and me, to spread His name, share His Word and to stand up for Him, just as He did for you and me when He went to the cross and took our sin upon Himself. And somehow, I feel as though we are not doing our part.

If there was ever a time to hit our knees, now is that time.

The time has come for us to rise up as ONE body, strap on the armor of Christ and stand up for our faith in Jesus Christ. Now is the time we STOP blending in. Now is the time to STAND out!

This saddens me, brethren. It saddens me a great deal. Even though Christ knew this day was coming, I still believe it devastated Him. 

Let this break our hearts to the point it moves us to FIGHT for Jesus and His Word.

Satan is on the rise and he will not back down until Christ returns.

"Do not practice homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman. It is a detestable sin." Leviticus 18:22

Jesus we lift up our nation and our nation's leaders to You. Father, they have made choices that go against Your Word. Forgive them; forgive us for not standing up for what is right, faithful and true. Move us to our feet, move us closer to You. May we as Your Body, join together as ONE, for in that bond there will be strength and faith that can move a mountain. All because of Your blood. Amen
