In Trump's America Jesus Would Be Turned Away

I am utterly appalled at the things Christians are justifying these days.

When you think about it we, as people of God should be on the side of giving those who need asylum help and safety, of showing compassion to those who need it.

The fact that we aren't shows how far from God the American Church really is. The Fact is

American Christians Are Being Tested and Failing Miserably.

We condone people having their children ripped away from them while on Sunday praising the Savior who was an immigrant and needed asylum.

In Matthew 2 we see Matthew's account of Jesus birth and that Herod, the king at the time was threatened by his birth and sought to kill him. Because of this the angel of the Lord told Mary and Joseph to flee to Egypt (v13).

...God’s angel showed up again in Joseph’s dream and commanded, “Get up. Take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt. Stay until further notice. Herod is on the hunt for this child, and wants to kill him.” 

Now what if this took place in 2018? What would have happened if Mary and Joseph had encountered border patrol in today's America? Jesus would have been ripped away from his father and nursing mother and put in a cage. That is what we are doing to all these families.

The argument that the government has rules is BS. Yes the government has rules and we are told by God to be good citizens and to give to Caesar (government) what is Caesar's (Matthew 22:19-22). But we are also to give God what is God's. And above all else we are to follow God's commandments (Matthew 22:37-40). They are 1. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind. 2. Love your neighbor as yourself. 

What is happening now is not within God's commandments and there is nothing that you can say as a Christian to justify this. The fact that many are trying to is disgraceful and you do God a disservice by representing Him abhorrently. 

We as Christians seem to think we are above rebuke and that we need to point out the needle in other people's eyes but let me tell you something, the Pharisees were and neither are we. If we don't get it right here God will get us all the way together when we stand before Him at judgment when He identifies the stake protruding from our own eyes. When He asks you, "How could you do that to the least of these in My Name?" What will your response be? Trust me nothing will get you off the hook.

I am beyond disgusted by our display. The heart of God is grieved!

We need to really examine ourselves and repent. I'm talking to believers here because if Jesus was here he would be upturning tables at our unrighteous, arrogant, and unloving ways. 

When I think of those children, scared and unsure I see the face of Jesus and his parents; running in the night trying to escape a king set on killing him, his mother praying that when they got to Egypt they would be safe and his father trying to assure her they would be. How cruel are we that people are running for their lives only to met with unnecessary evil and unkindness. I cannot believe that we as Christians who say we love God are able to justify this. 

This is not of God and we should be ashamed. And if you are not, I am ashamed for you.

Praise Break - Ghost Town (Freedom)

The earth was new, a great frontier The perfect place to spread his fear So satan set up shop to draw them in Bright lights to display all his wares "Come on in, forget your cares" That devil knew just how to package sin People came from far and wide Not a guilty soul denied But before they knew they'd been deceived They'd step inside and never leave They said his eyes were black as coal His voice a shudder to the soul He preyed upon the broken and the proud He told them they were lost for good No one loved them and who would Before too long he owned that fallen town And from inside the gates they'd wail: Who can save us from this hell? And as their hopes turned into tears He laughed and all his demons stood and cheered Then down a dirt road from the east Came one, they said, could slay the beast But did not fight with bullets or a sword They called him Mercy and at his side A thousand angels chose to ride And a...

Expectation in God

  So now wrap your heart tightly around the hope that lives within us, knowing that God always keeps his promises!     -Hebrews 10:23, Passion Translation   I was taught that expecting God to give me things or do things for me was bad. We’re told to ask God for things but, in the same breath, not expect Him to give them to us. It was in the name of piety but how backward is that? Especially because it contradicts God’s Word. Then on the flip side, now we tell people to "Name it and claim it" but that leads to disillusioned Christians disappointed that God hasn't granted their wishes. God isn't a genie. That contradicts God's Word too. How many of us know the scripture, ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you? ( Matthew 7:7-8) If this is true, which it is, doesn’t that create expectancy? Doesn’t that mean I should expect to receive something? Of cour...

My Year End Reflections

2016 has been very... (insert whatever and how many adjectives you want) Many of those who started the year won't finish it and many who didn't start it will live to see another year. The political, financial, personal, professional and emotional landscapes for most as 2017 looms may not look promising and at the very least daunting. But hope... Hope is, in my opinion, as necessary to life as air. Hopelessness is a deep pit that can swallow you whole. When our hope is built on shifting, sinking sand it is very easy for us to lose it. But.. MY hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Blood and Righteousness... God is still God. The sun still rises and sets. Jesus is still risen from the dead. So therefore I will always have hope because money, people, things, leaders, bosses, jobs, empires, nations pass away but inspite of our best efforts to destroy and eradicate God from our world HE STILL LIVES and HIS PROMISES are still TRUE . I dare not trust the sweetest...
