Thank God for America's faithful
preachers and God-fearing, soul-winning, Christians.
It is tragic that America's children
are being indoctrinated by a bunch of kooks, quacks and queers through
television, public schools, Harry Potter books,
GLSEN, et cetera. I'm not a gay-basher; but I am obligated as a
God-fearing Christian to speak out against all forms of evil in society.
Character doesn't just happen, it needs to be instilled in children. How can a
child with a lesbian, New Age, liberal-minded, Communist-loving, teacher turn
out right for God??? No wonder sin, crime and insanity have overrun the United
States! The Bible commands us all to seek wisdom... WITH ALL OUR GETTING!
Wisdom is the principle thing, not talent. If there's one thing that our
nation's children (and adults) need today it is WISDOM. Wisdom seeks God and
truth. Wisdom seeks character and principle.
You don't get wisdom from watching
Jerry Springer or Law And Order's sex-perverted shows, you get
passion and entertainment instead. Americans are more concerned with who's
going to win the NBA championship or the Superbowl than they are
acquiring truth. People spend more time reading the filthy Esquire and
Self magazines filled with Hollywood whores, when you ought to go read
books about the lives of great men of God like Dwight L. Moody, Billy Sunday,
John Bunyan, David Livingston and Charles H. Spurgeon. Talent seeks attention,
but wisdom pays attention! The average American today is a walking moron. The
average person couldn't tell you what their First Amendment rights are if
their life depended on it. You should know the First Amendment: the right to
RELIGION, SPEECH, PRESS, freedom to PEACEABLY ASSEMBLE and to PETITION OUR
GOVERNMENT. Do you know the Ten Commandments? If not, memorize them from
Exodus chapter 20!
Every Christian ought to have two
big days in their life. First, the day that we are saved. And second, the day
that we surrender to serve God. At salvation, we know that we have God; but at
surrender, God knows that He has us. Surrendering is not required for
salvation; but surrendering is required if we are to be happy in the Lord.
Ladies and gentleman, America is
going to Hell by design, because we've allowed a small group of devil-serving,
arrogant, atheists, kooks, quacks, liars, homosexuals, pedophiles, thieves,
religious nuts, Communists and God-haters to take control of our nation. The
only reason why they are succeeding is because America has abandoned
Christianity. The wicked are now in control of government, newsmedia,
television, radio, the courts, entertainment and all walks of life. A lot of
Americans are finally walking up to what's really going on (a takeover police
state), but they are spiritually darkened without God, and so they are
spinning their wheels going nowhere. America's ONLY hope is preaching
preachers! Without repentance we are doomed as a nation.
There's only one living God, and
He's the God of the Bible. The
Muslim religion is fake, fabricated by Muhammad 1,371 years ago in 632 AD.
It is now 2013. Muhammad worshipped the moon, which is why
Islam is centered in worship of the moon. It's hard to imagine that anyone
would adopt such a crazy and
easily debunked false religion as Islam. See,
Muhammad Verses Jesus Christ. Oh, listen my friend, the God Who is wisdom
loves you and sent His only begotten Son into the world to die for your sins
and mine. Jesus paid it all! The beginning of wisdom is to
believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ.
