This week I have been thinking alot about the Lord and this generation of young people. As I began my time with Lord my mind went straight to the crisis we face in America and yet I feel as though people are not responding. I see everyone running and donating to the efforts in Haiti and don't get me wrong I am in full support of donating and helping those who have been devasted in Haiti. I am all for it and I believe as a body of Christ we are to reach out and do all that we can do for Haitains however what about the crisis here in America.
The Crisis at Hand....
First... The President of the United States of Ameica is all for same sex marriages as well as abortion. We have a President who call himself a Christian yet is not upholding the Word of God. The Bible speaks on same sex couples. According to Leviticus 20:13 "If a man lies with a male as if he were a woman, both men have committed an offense (something perverse, unnatural, abhorrent and destestable) they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. " Leviticus 18:22 says "You shall not lie with a man as with a woman; its an abomination." 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 says "Do you not know that the unrighteous and wrongdoers will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be decieved (misled) neither the impure, and immoral nor idolaters, nor adulters, nor those who participate in homosexuality." How can a person who calls themselves a Christian completely ignore the Word of God? How can a person who calls themselves a Christian allow abortion and yet sleep at night knowing that he is endorsing murder- innocent lives that do not have a voice being aborted away. We as the body of Christ must pray for our President and those in around him. We must stand in the gap for the innocent lives that are being killed daily because no one else will. It is a call for ACTION! WILL YOU FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT?
I think that some Christians have lost or never had the fear of the Lord. We as Christians are to live as Christ did. We are to be a light in these dark times but to many have allowed compromise in their lives adn thier light is so dim that you can barely see it. We as Christians are to be the salt of the world yet to mant Christians have lost their saltiness and decided to be just a "Sunday Christian." If Christians would stand up and put the same effort into their walk with God and to this crisis we are facing as they put in other matters; what would it look like? It is a call for ACTION! WILL YOU FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT?
We are in a crisis that some Christians don't even have the answers to help. We have crime, violence, teenage pregnancy, abortion, a wildfire in teenage STDS, yet so many just close an eye to it all. We are called to the lost yet often times when the lost look at Christians they see no difference. How are we supposed to reach the lost if they see the same thing in us as in the world? We have MTV telling our young people what is cool, how to dress adn how to act. Teenage girls attain their wardrobe from what MTV says is the "latest style". We have girls wearing "belts" for skirts, midriffs showing, and cleavage exposed. Our bodies are meant to be sacred adn not have the world see what only our husbands are to see. We have MTV telling us what is hot on the music charts yet take no responsbility for for what these lyrics say. We have Kanye West singing about how he sold his soul to the devil and others singing about kissing a girl and liking it. We have the world telling todays teens what it is okay to have sex but just use protection. MTV has commericals about getting HIV tested yet no commericals about staying pure. Protection does not always work and they do not make condoms for your heart. Sex was not meant to be with just anyone. It was meant to be with a man and woman who is husband and wife. We have wildfires that todays teens are standing in the middle of. STD'S are rampant in today's generation as well as teenage pregnacy. We have high schools giving out condoms to todays teens. Teens are not taught that when they have sex with someone else that you become emotionally connected to them and when things do not work out, there is no condom to protect thier hearts from being completely shattered. We have a crisis for this generation. The enemy is fighting for the souls of our young people. We have a generation that is looking for something and only Chirst will satisfy them. We have video games that provided teens with the opportunityt to have sex with prositutes as well as shott others just to get a high score. But, when we hear of school shootings and we learn that the shooter was playing these hostile video games, we sit back and do nothing, we actually let our children keep playing the same games because so many have the mindset that a video game would not make someone shoot random people. As Christians we need to take a stand and do something about it. We have a generation of teenagers that are being attacked and it is time to equip them for battle and prepare them to walk into the enemy's camp and take back everything that was stolen from them. It is time for America to take a stand for Christ. When America is under attack by foreign soils we immediately rise up and take action. We send out the troops in mass and they go and fight for our country. Our teens are being attacked by the lies of the enemy. As Christians we need to be sent out in mass and fight for this generation. Todays teens are our future leaders of tomorrow. If we don't rise up what will America be? It is a call for ACTION! WILL YOU FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT?
