| Coming Christian Confrontation Take a good look around you and you’ll see a consorted effort to belittle and discredit Christians and if you don’t believe it think about this. Look at the reaction to Mel Gibson’s movie The Passion of the Christ. It has been called anti-semitic and not historically accurate. I haven’t seen the movie but I think that the accuracy is probably what bothers it’s detractors. What about the non-factual and blasphemous Martin Scorcese film, The Last Temptation of Christ, which had the Son of God having sexual fantasies about Mary Magdalene. I didn’t hear any of these same people raising the roof about inaccuracies. No other religion is persecuted like Christians. Although it’s a well-known fact that radical factions of Islam are sponsoring terrorism around the world. You seldom hear a disparaging word about their religion. Cults, whose beliefs are so off the wall that no rational person could possibly believe what they embrace, are seldom if ever subjected to the ridicule and condescension Christianity is subjected to. Well brothers and sisters we may as well get ready for it. It’s coming. It’s part of the last days scenario and I truly believe that we are living in the last days. I believe that persecution of Christians will only get worse as time passes. We will be treated with disdain and disrespect by the major media and liberal politicians Should we just lie down and take it? No! No! No! Brothers and sisters it’s time to get militant. And no, for all you people who scrutinize every nuance for an excuse to accuse me of being a warmonger, I am not talking about going into the streets with guns or blowing up abortion clinics. That kind of behavior has nothing to do with Christianity. What I’m talking about is letting our voices be heard, in public forums and voting booths. It just really gets under skin of the secular public when the Christian coalition prints a list of candidates and where they stand on issues of interest to the Christian community. Well stop and think about it, doesn’t the church of the Lord Jesus Christ have as much right to know about a candidate and how his or her convictions will effect us as a trade union or a special interest group? And don’t write me and tell me about separation of church and state. Read The Constitution and all the federal papers for that matter. The phrase separation of church and state is not in any of them. What is in The Constitution is a codicil, which says that the government will not pass any law concerning religion, which is meant to protect the church from the state and not the other way around. Christians, don’t go along with the crowd, sit back and say, “Well there ain’t nothing I can do about it”. The least you can do is pray about it. Defend your faith, you’ve read the book, you know how this comes out. No matter how many monuments of the Ten Commandments are removed from public places, no matter how many times the Christian faith is held up to ridicule, no matter how vehemently prayer in school is denied, no matter how much Jesus’ spotless name is uttered in profanity, no matter how many false prophets interpret the Bible to say what they want it to, remember this. Every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God The Father. Every judge, every A.C.L.U. lawyer, every politician, every false prophet, every one who has ever taken a breath on this earth will bow down to Jesus Christ and know and confess that the one who they have denied a place in American life is not only King of the United States and planet earth but King of the universe. I choose to bow and confess now, and I invite you to join me. Pray for our troops. What do you think? God Bless America. Charlie Daniels http://www.charliedaniels.com/soapbox/04/001.html |
