Saving Souls

 

In our American culture war, where have all the leaders of the Christian Church gone?  You remained silent when the government closed your doors, you were silent as the government threatened you with prosecution or fines if you speak out from the pulpit with a political opinion.  You remain silent when your people and their belief systems are slandered by the government lefties.  You remain silent as the secular culture rips the next generation from the beliefs of you hold so dear.  You remain silent as your children are being taught to hate one another in their public schools. You remain silent as you are told to shut up and behave as if you were dogs.  Have you no inner fortitude? 

I have been away from the pew for a number of years, so I may be missing something, at least I hope that is the case.  The challenge we all face is to be a part of a spiritual faith movement rather than just another religion that hides when the going gets tough.  Jesus confronted the powerful and ministered to the victims of government and religious oppression.  These folks to whom he ministered were the rejects of the prevailing culture of his time.  To the rejected he preached, there is a God I call Father, my God has a place, an eternity planned for you where the terrors of your present circumstances will soon seem minuscule.  You, the rejected of this world, can weather all the storms of life, win or lose, because your all-powerful God has your back!

Speaking from the outside, please let me make one suggestion.  Every church in America should have a church school where all children of every color and creed could be educated in a faith-based classroom.  The public school that educates is no more, it is dead!  Church leaders, get off your butt and go to work saving souls.
