Christians of the World Are Watching

We whom live in the United States don’t think about it much because we live here I guess, but as I was zipping around the internet yesterday I came across and article written by an author in the UK. It was a stunning assessment of the evils committed by the nation of the United States. I was ashamed to admit after reading the article that it was true. Sometimes we as Christians do not see any further than our own neighborhoods, if that far. We get busy, caught up in the operations of business, school and our family’s everyday requirements never considering that other people are watching us or that we are indeed an example to others.

Christians around the world are watching to see if God punishes us for our evil deeds. They understand perhaps more than ourselves that we are clearly and blatantly thumbing our noses at the Lord’s covenants. In the article they in fact, pointed out that, some of the things we allow are illegal in other countries because they are immoral. If the whole world can see these things, why can we not see these things? Are we so blinded by the flesh that we can no longer see what we are really doing?

People in other nations see the United States as a God favored nation. I would have to agree with that assumption. I believe we as a Christian nation, founded on God’s own principles are favored by God’s grace and he has rewarded us with prosperity that few countries outside of Israel have ever seen. That is why the Christians in the world are watching so closely. Because they know, from examples given in the Bible that God will eventually tire of our insolence and rebellion. They are waiting to see what he does to balance the injustice if God is indeed just.

Our country has separated itself from God. We as a people of the United States, even people who claim to be Christians think that abortion is acceptable, a right they obtained for themselves. The country has embraced the secular lies that sex with anyone at any time is acceptable outside of marriage. The western women have emasculated the men. We are still fighting to keep the sanctity of marriage between one man and one woman while homosexuality parades around with pride. Sometimes it feels like a losing battle, as we decline into the pit of deprivation. Our families are in crisis, about 50% of children live in single parent homes, divorce rates climb. Poverty rates climb with them. Are we losing God’s blessings? I would have to say if we continue committing these abominations we most certainly will. 

This November the 2012 election is the most pivotal election in our Christian history. The courses charted by the outcome of this election are simply whether we keep Christian values and morals or toss them to the wind. I implore you to give this election a great deal of thought. It is not only a president we are deciding on but also a way of life and the future blessings of our country are at stake. God blesses obedience to his word; he brings judgments to those who do not honor his commandments. That is a fact; one only has to look in the Bible to see this example played out repeatedly in biblical history. 

The fact is President Obama represents disobedience to God as the Democratic Party takes God out of everything, encourages reliance on the government, which makes taxes soar and believes in destroying the sanctity of marriage. He believes in redistributing the wealth of the working person into the hands of those who refuse to work and paying for their healthcare, keeping him, congressional representatives and senators exempt. There is no justice with his plans, the rich are exempt, and the middle class returns to poverty by way of oppressive tax burdens.

Mitt Romney represents the Christian ethics and morals this country was founded upon, he promises to strike down abortion, maintain the sanctity of marriage God’s way and relieve the tax burden that is crushing this county’s economic growth. He will bring healing, restoring God’s grace and blessing back to this country, only if he keeps those promises. If we hold him to this task, it will bring back the prosperity this country once enjoyed. 

Our problems are not merely economic, they are spiritual caused by our iniquity and blatant disregard for life and God’s commands. God has been sending us warnings with earthquakes, drought, tornados and economic plagues as signs of his coming judgments. It is time we paid attention, repented and prayed for the forgiveness we do not deserve.

Clearly, President Obama has done nothing to build this country up even though he threw billions of dollars in bailouts to solve the problem driving us deeper in debt; job creation incentives have done nothing to increase jobs but barely replaced the jobs lost during his administration. He talks about not being finished, no he is not finished and will not be until he brings the country to its knees, it is his father’s dream he wishes to fulfill not the American dream. 

Christian brothers and sisters it is time to stand up and vote for God. Stop and think before making that ballot selection this November, do you represent God and the Christian you claim to be? Do your actions reflect the values you proclaim to possess? Are you voting for blessings or judgments? I do not want to be like Lot’s family as they ran from Sodom and Gomorrah. The Christian world is watching everything we do and God is waiting for our answer.
