Greetings My Friend,
A popular saying a few years ago was "What would Jesus do?" This thought comes to mind as I hear believers say that social media is a bunch of garbage, I am tired of all the fighting about politics and yet complain. I think this thought when believers have decided that what the world teaches "Politics and religion should not be talked about in public because it is sure to start a fight. I admit I would like to keep quiet, it is easier, then my heart pricks me I think about Jesus. We all know Jesus had a lot to say to the religious leaders of His day, most not smoothed over with kind gentle words. Jesus was willing to stand against those pride filled leaders call their vanity to account. Junior and I were talking the other day about how conservative's have had leaders speak to their values only to be elected then find their wants and needs never addressed. Finally conservative's had someone who truly heard their needs he was elected, still the politician's have not aligned themselves with our President. For too long we have allowed the feel good Jesus to take precedence in our teachings not ever showing all of Jesus. Jesus often got angry, we all know about Him cleansing the temple, calling the religious leaders a brood of vipers. The Bible talks about hell more than heaven but we focus only on heaven. When Jesus came He talked about judgement day, about hell yet we have decided to ignore the parts of the Bible we do not like. It seems to me that Jesus talked about more than love and peace... We are in the last of the last days, although the last days began shortly after Jesus ascended into heaven so is it right for us to sit in our little cushy corner's wait for Him to come get us. Again I look at what Jesus did, He knew that the last days were coming although He did not know the hour or the day. He still went about telling people the facts of God's love and judgement, so should I sit wait or should I make known my disdain for what our government is trying to push down our throats. Should I avoid pointing out what I believe, Jesus would not like in our government, abortion, taking away our rights and so on? I believe it is my duty to let congress know that they are hired by the people, represent the people not special interest groups. I believe that God has allowed us to be in the shape we are in because we assumed we had His favor. If we look at our founders they were willing to die for what they believed in, are we? I was not for most of my life, today as I see our country go from a democracy to socialist I am concerned for my children and grandchildren, I know I can fight if I am called to. I get a good idea that Jesus would stand up for the people as He did all those years ago when the religious leaders were putting heavy burdens on the people's backs, much like us being taxed so heavily today. May God bless you and keep you make His face shine on you. Love Janet
