"A society becomes totalitarian when its structure becomes flagrantly artificial. That is when its ruling class has lost its function but succeeds in clinging to power by force or fraud.”
George Orwell.
Fortunately For Me Freedom Of speech Is Not truly yet Dead. I often Do Not lend myself to the world of politics outside of the homeless arena, I try to obtained from all appearance of Evil. As A Christian I am above Politics Now that may offend many Christians immersed in politics I however Must say I am Glad They are Offended. I do not understand How Men claiming to stand Behind God the Father Can stand Behind any Government that Cant feed or House its own people or tend them when they are sick, or when they struggle comfort them and can find the funds to Fly Half way around the globe to annihilate a people they perceive as a threat. A Christian Who Lives In fear Of others and spouting fear of other religions somehow have missed the victory you will be Hated By the world, Saints. Today we are deemed by all as people believing for the most part Us to be a Christian Nation. As A Christian I am ashamed that the United States is the best example of Christianity we have. Where more Money is spent on The defense of Gods people than on the care and the sustainment of or the enrichment of in the form of education or health care and sustainability of their way of life and all efforts Made by These leaders lend toward sustained consumerism and a sustainable bondage to the system of dependence and reliability on powers outside our local Communities. So without thinking to far ahead In politics we as the Most powerful people On the face of the planet A people with The ability to heal to work miracles In the Name Of father with all Of His creation at Our beaconing call we fail in that We Live Outside of The Family Of God we Greet Not Our sisters and brothers with a heavenly kiss because Hell lets face it we don’t even know who they are. We Can never be a Christian nation if we Cant Be a Christian Church We talk a lot about we are but what we are is divided all of us claiming as he said we would here is Christ Or Here Is Christ and I believe you not. The Churches are Not a representation Of Christ In any way they are all working independent of one another and cant agree if Baptist Methodist Adventist or Lutheran are His true Children let alone if the Buddhist Or the Muslim Down the Street Has a Place in the Kingdom. My Question I guess To the Church And Christian Nation would be How Long will you Allow the Perversion of your faith to Continue? Can we really spread Love with B1 Bombers and Poseidon or patriot Missiles? Can we best Spread Peace Through Violence? Will We win with bullets that average cost is more than that of a decent meal? will Our Love shine Through At the next splitting of an atom? Will we Become the World, Before The world Becomes Us?
And The United States Policy On we the People Is to Let Us Keep Our Heads In the Sand, And Live Our Lives Of Fear In the Best Possible Illusion Of freedom That Can Be created.
I absolutely agree with you. I no longer belong to any church, they ALL have failed in the ways you listed. I also no longer vote, and my Christian friends gasp! I can't, in good faith, support any candidate anymore. I'll have to expain that to God, I guess--. There is something so WRONG with this country spending massive amounts of money of defense while I struggle to feed and maintain the homeless young adults that live with me. I am NOT complaining--I love my ministry. But if Christians were doing their jobs, there wouldn't be too many hungry or homeless. Amen, brother
ReplyDeleteLove this post and agree.I also believe that living here is a blessing . I am a christian but also a proud American. I cannot ignore the lives that were lost to allow me the freedoms I have today! However with great power comes great responsability. The bible says that everything permissable is not always profitable. Just because I have the right to burn the flag,or picket military funerals doesn't mean that I should or that its a good idea.
ReplyDeleteI vote because the ballot is my voice heard on paper,its my say which I truly believe is a GOD given right.We as a people take advantage of our freedoms and don't purpose them to the Glory of God and that has been costly.We also take our freedoms for granted and don't use there powers for good. Individually we must come to a place where we decide as christians to be the example and walk the long and narrow road .I choose to love, I choose to give , I choose period! I learned 6 years ago that after Katrina it wasn't the government that God sent to our rescue,it was people .People from all over came to give and to help. Its unfortunate that we need a disaster to bring us together.It is because we choose to seperate ourselves rather than come together is why we don't see change . Everyone is too busy feeding the need to be right and worrying about what WE want instead of what God wants. The one thing the government,the church , and myself have in common is that we will all give an account to God and I choose not to waste my time being more concerned about the other two and what there not doing when I need to be about my Fathers buisness!I won't be here forever but while I am my concern is what HE wants me to do I can't control anything outside of what I choose.The left uses the term" christian radicals". I disagree, I don't think we are radical enough.
P.S. Joseph I cannot tell a lie my friend, I fed the fish. Please forgive me:)
