Preaching Christ Crucified
From the pastor's desk...
Good morning to all,in the precious name of Jesus Christ!His name,through faith in His name,is the ONLY means of salvation,given by God the Father,whereby man must be saved,Amen!
...
Galatians 1:6-9,"I marvel that you are so soon removed from Him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:Which is not another;but there be some that trouble you,and would pervert the gospel of Christ.But though we,or an angel from heaven,preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you,let him be accursed.As we said before,so say I now again,IF ANY MAN PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL UNTO YOU THAN THAT YE HAVE RECEIVED,let him be accursed." (KJV) (cap locks added for emphasis)
My friends and family,everyone is entitled to their opinion,I pray that I might voice mine in as loving a way as possible,without causing to much contention with any of you.I will try to keep my personal opinion to myself and just speak what I believe the Lord would have me to say!
America is faced with a very tough decision this November,and I'm seeking the Lord,as I hope you all are,as to which person should get my vote.I will not be so presumptuous as to tell you who to vote for.That will be between you and the Lord.
We have the current president,Barack Hussein Obama,and we have the opponent Mitt Romney.Speaking strictly from a spiritual perspective,which one seems to hold to the values of Christianity?
Barack Obama:Claims to be a Christian,but upholds Islam as a peaceful religion with many good virtues to be desired,upholds homosexual rights to marriage,and agrees with murdering unborn children at the expense of the tax payers dollars.He holds to socialist/communistic views of how our government should be in control of every area of our lives,personal,private and public lives.He feels that Islam should be free to preach their hatred against Christians,Jews and the U.S.A.,while suppressing and if possible,making it a crime,to mention the name of Jesus,prayer in public,and the preaching of the gospel in public.
This is certainly not a detailed list of all that Mr.Obama believes in,but a general list of the high points.
According to the scriptures,this is not the example of true Christian behavior,feel free to decide for yourself.
On the other side of the fence we have Mitt Romney.
Mr.Romney also lays claim to being a Christian,and seems to uphold the biblical values of the right to life,traditional values of marriage,which is,one man and one woman.He seems to hold to the belief of many Americans that we should remain a free and sovereign nation,with less governmental controls in our lives,public,private and personal.These too,are not a detailed list of all that Mr.Romney believes in,but just a generalization.But as a Bible believing Christian,I find myself at at impasse.
Mr.Obama,for all intents and purposes does not display a Christian world view.He sides more with Islam,than with Christianity.Could it be that he is what can be referred to,as Rick Warren says,a Christlam believer? A mixture of both? Can this be considered true biblical Christianity?
Mr.Romney is a Mormon,a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.Can this religion be considered true biblical Christianity? I think that America,no matter which way the chips fall,will certainly be in for a surprise when all the votes are tallied.We've already experienced for four years the presidency of a man whose personal views are carried over into his governmental and political policies. But I also wonder how much of Mr.Romney's personal views of Mormonism will influence his decision making policies,when it comes to our nation.My point is this:It is impossible for any person to completely separate themselves from their religious views,in the way in which they conduct their lives,both in public and in private. We already know what Obama stands for,four years have proven this.All we know of what Mr.Romney believes is what he has told us.Neither man holds to a true Christian biblical view,they preach "another gospel,and another Jesus" as Paul said,and both are under a curse.
We've already had a sample of Obama's beliefs for the last four years.The question is,do we want four more of the same?
Romney holds to the views of his Mormon belief system,which in a nutshell can be summed up with the words of one of the LDS's former presidents,Lorenzo Snow (1814-1901) quote:"As man is,God once was;as God is,man may become." end quote. It is clear that the views of Mr. Romney do not actually reflect true biblical Christianity.All Mormons are taught to believe that one day they too,will become God,and rule their own planet,with all their little spirit children in tow.
I think that Mr.Romney could very well be the Trojan Horse that will bring America down.I can only wonder,how much control the Mormon Church is going to influence him in his political policies.
My point to all this is this:Just because someone names the name of Jesus,does not necessarily mean the Jesus of the Scriptures.Mormonism can not be considered true Biblical Christianity and neither can the views that Mr.Obama holds.This is where we as Bible believing Christians find ourselves.I fully realize we are not voting for a pastor of the church we attend,but neither are we to be blind about what God would have us to do.My fellow brothers and sisters in Christ,we must pray as never before for this nation and what we are to do this November.It will take the wisdom from God above to make the right choice.
These are the choices we have:Vote for one who we know from experience does not have Christian values in mind,or vote for one,who believes that he is going to be a god one day.This is what we have come to as a nation,this is what we've asked God for as a nation.As the blood bought church of the Living God,we have been lulled to sleep by liberal views that have all but destroyed this great nation,and God has removed His hand,and allowed us what we asked for.We are at the crossroads as a nation.II Chron.7:14 is needed now more than ever before as a people who love the Lord Jesus Christ...........May God bless you and guide you this November...........pastor John.
