True Freedom

Last weekend was Fourth of July Weekend. For Americans it is celebration that involves grilling, water slides, drinking, and fireworks. The occasion is suppose to commemorate the US' independence form England and the Birth of the "Greatest Nation on Earth." Or so it once used to be. This country is no longer the centerpiece of freedom. The reason? Government overreach and overdependence on programs like Welfare? No. The Communist and Liberal Agenda? A little, but still no. The systematic break down of the family unit? A symptom, and part of it, but still no.

The answer is Jesus Christ. This nation has fallen because it has turned against the Most High God and evicted Him from all public domains. Even churches now barely can harbor the Holy Spirit these days. It began with removing prayer from schools and has no escalated to tearing down any religious symbolism in public. Nativity displays and plays that date back hundreds and sometimes many hundreds of years are shut down because they 'offend' those who do not believe. And yet other religious are given free rights to display Vishnu/Cali with all her arms or the Elephant or Buddha in places of commerce.

We are living in a very Unchristian States of America. The assault is on the cross and Christ not Cali and the wheel of Buddha. Freedom can only be found in faith in Jesus Christ. Without Christ this country is sinking into a sea of socialism, sorcery, sadism, sexual immorality, and selfishness . The supposed Christian capital of the world, these United States, did nothing to stop this turning tide. No one fought to keep faith in schools and government. No one stood up for the Savior and now the States must suffer, for He said, "Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven. "But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 10;32-33). Our brother and sisters confess Christ in their churches, but they failed to do so in places of commerce, education, and government. As a result, entire generations have been raised to be godless on our watch.

Today, children spend five days a week being indoctrinated in school with anti-Christ, antichristian, and anti-morals. Then they spend their time watching films, playing video games, and other forms of entertainment that enforce these antichrist ideologies. By the time they arrive at Church on Sunday, they have been fed a steady diet of lies six days a week, with total of 95 hours spent in listening and engaging these lies, and only 1hr to maybe 2 1/2hrs spent at Church on Sunday to reverse all the programming during the week. The math does not add up. Hence why no one seems to be effected by the Church.

Christianity is not a club, it is close relationship with Christ and a lifestyle. It requires that we live differently than the world (Romans 12:2) and even grow to hate the world (1 John 2:15). Instead, most Christians today are World centered people who happen to have their "get out of hell free card" whom they call Christ. They pray for more money and pray that they are healthy, go to church, and maybe sign up for potluck, bible study, or event. This is not being a Christian! This is not freedom in Christ! We are suppose to be free from the world, and to be different from the world! Instead, Christian Churches have adopted the world's values and slapped a cross on top of it! Its disgusting! No wonder judgment has come to this country!

Freedom was bought for us on the cross two-thousand and fifteen years ago. We have been set free from the chains of sin. The tyranny of our trespasses have been torn down by the two beams and the Blood of Christ! If America is ever to recover it must return to the source of true freedom; Jesus Christ. Without the Lord this land will continue to lose its way and be laid waste by wrath! It maybe too late, but this is what we need to do: "if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14). It may be too late. The Reckoning may already be raging and leading to His Return. Which frankly is fine by me. Still, freedom can only be found in Christ Jesus. In Jesus, who is God (Colossians 2:9), there is the only source of freedom for our spirits, souls, and bodies.
