Happy New Year

By now everyone has finished their celebrations for New Years, have made their resolutions for the coming year, and are returning to work or the normal way of life. We say Happy New Year, but I am concerned as to if it will be a Happy New Year.

What can we look forward to in America? I know we will see one of two things take place. We will get a new President or a repeat of the old one. Personally I want to see a new one. Our current President does not and cannot have the interest of America and the American people in the forefront. He has proven that.

It is time for we Americans to stand up for our Faith in the one true God of the heavens, and not to be silenced. It is time for us to blow the trumpet of truth and sound the alarm, that Jesus is soon to return. Joel 2: 1-2. we as Christians are not interested in another god or another religion, but in serving our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who will one day rule the world in Righteousness.

If ever there was a time for born again believers in Christ (Christians) to come together, and stand for the truth of God's Word, it's today. I know we are living in the Last Days and the Return of Jesus is near. we will no doubt see more and more troubles and unrest for 2012. I for one would like to see America as a whole, turn back to God as we fall on our knees in Repentance. However it seems unrighteousness is prevailing at this present time. If America will hold to God's unchanging hand, then no matter what comes for the year God will keep us.

Will you stand for Righteousness in 2012?

The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. (Psalms 9:17).

Honor the King.

All over America the majority of people take time at this time of the year, to celebrate what they call the Birth of Christ. While it is true Jesus was born to become the Savior of the World, and the King of Kings, there is no place in the Bible that Jesus ever told us or commanded us to honor His birth. However His word tells us to honor His death, I Corinthians 11:23-29. there are many who celebrate the holiday known as Christmas, and know not what they celebrate. Jesus did not come as a baby to give us a holiday to eat, drink and be merry, but to become the sacrifice for sin, to save this world from our unrighteousness. His very words in St Matthew 24: 36-39, reminds us of the results of eating and drinking, such as takes place at Christmas. How do we find any honor of the King in Christmas trees, Santa Claus and in parties? About the only part of Christmas that takes place correctly is in giving of gifts, and that is not done correctly. The Bible reminds us to give to God one tenth and to present our bodies a living sacrifice. Romans 12:1. So this year as you celebrate Christmas think of who you are honoring. Is it King Jesus or is it self?

Yes it is okay to remember the Birth of Christ, but not to follow all the traditions of the world. Let us remember why He came to this earth, and may we live our lives as an example of His Love for this world. I encourage each reader to do a study on your computer on the origin of Christmas. You may be surprised.

Only in America

We still live in America the land of the free, and yes one of the greatest nations of the world. However our freedoms are quickly being taken away from us . we seem to sit back and ignore the fact that every day someone stands up to stop our freedoms, that we have held since the beginning of our nation.

Yes this week another business in Florida has taken the stand to dismiss an employee, for wearing a lapel pin of our Nations flag. Our flag stands for freedom, however we are not free to display our own flag in the work place.

I ask you where is the freedom in that? remember this is the second employee dismissed for the flag pin. Apparently these employers agree with our president, that our flag is not correct!

I still stand for the red, white and blue How about you?

THE FLAG

We the people of America, the land of the free and the home of the brave, have been blessed with God's Blessings in the past. We have been blessed to worship God our creator and enjoy all the Freedoms of this nation.

As this nation was beginning, we were given a flag as a symbol of our Freedom, and most of us are happy to fly it over our homes and businesses. We are proud to salute it at all types of events, as a reminder of our Freedoms.

But did you know that the President and First lady have not, do not, and will not salute our American Flag, calling it a symbol of oppression. They have even attended flag burning ceremonies. The President even refers to our National Anthem, as a war like message, and does not stand at attention when it is sung in his presence. (According to Meet the Press).

The American Flag is a symbol of the Freedoms God has given to us, and should be displayed on Sunday September the 11th, as we remember all who lost their lives on that day. when we look at our Flag, may it remind us we are still free.

Christian Freedoms

Every day we as Christians live in America, the land of the free, we are losing more and more of our freedoms. Case in point. The Mayor of New York city has passed a ruling that for the 911 commemoration this year, there will be no clergy or firemen in attendance. These were the first two groups on the scene, on that day of tragedy.

How sad it is to know in a Christian nation that our ministry cannot stand together, at that site on September 11th to offer prayers for the families of those who lost their lives that day.

How long will America continue to be a Christian Nation???

America's Warnings.

America The Beautiful, for many years has been a Nation founded on God's Holy Word and the ways of Righteousness. However in the last few years it has turned and taken a different direction. That direction is leading us away from God's plans for His people. We are quickly being directed to the ways of immoral and unrighteousness living. The ways that displease our Holy and Righteous God in Heaven.

When will our leaders of this United States begin to see that God has been sending us warnings of which we seem to ignore? The recent tragedies of the Earthquake and the Hurricane should remind us that God is calling us to Repentance. Also we are experiencing a storm in the Gulf of Mexico, as we write this article.

Both the Hurricane and the earthquake touched our Nations Capital, Hello all of our leaders, especially our President, who also felt the Earthquake while he was on vacation.

God is speaking to America by way of the many troubles that have come and are coming.

Will America hear God's Call to Repentance? St. Matthew 24:4-8
