The War Rages to Show What Side We're On

December 14, 2009 in Character by dan

I shared this little epiphany I had with a friend of mine on Facebook this morning.

For “sin industries” to survive, and for lies to thrive, Christianity must be slaughtered.

To populate hell, one must either eliminate or neutralize Christians.   One must leave behind nothing but fakes, liars, hypocrites, the cowards, the insincere — ones who have no real relationship with God other than to keep Him at arms distance.

To do this on a large scale takes education.  Children must be indoctrinated in the schools with our money. Christians must be abused and kept out of education or sequestered into a place where Christian ideals are irrelevant to the subject matter such as mathematics or physics, but never biology, history, English, psychology, or government. They must be taught at an early age that sin is good, pleasing, and a right to be defended vigorously and violently with lies, manipulation and abuse if necessary and that those who oppose sin are evil, intolerant, bigoted and to be linked with extreme racism and fascism.

The war is intense and violent and for a large part, we Christians have laid down our weapons and joined the enemy in an act of treason.  But, this life is our only time to declare our allegiance to God or to selfishness, sin, and Satan.

The choice is ours, and the raging battle will give us our chance to reveal who we truly are.

It's Not a Business — It's a Ministry

May 11, 2008 in Character by dan

The Bible tells us to do our work as unto the Lord.  Matthew tells us about the Lord dividing the sheep from the goats or the faithful from the unfaithful and saying, “Inasmuch as you have done it to the least of the brethren, you have done it unto Me.”

I have nothing against those who the Lord has prospered and enabled to become wealthy through legitimate means.  But, what about those who find a person in dire need of medical, dental, or legal care?  If God has given you a wonderful talent and skill, would you want to stand before Him and answer why you took advantage of His suffering and used it to extort a hundred dollars an hour from Him refusing to help Him unless He pays?

Will you tell Him, “Business is business”?
