I hear so many people complaining about how horrible Christians are because of the past: the crusades, the inquisition, and so many others like it. Most don’t pause to see that the reason those things happened was because people decided that they knew better than God. So they distorted the Word of God and killed the revolution so they could have the power. Too bad this shapes many people’s view of the Lord.

I’ve been learning a lot this year about living a free life following the Lord and what that looks like. Its a difficult thing to do because the ideas of rank, self-importance and power, reliance on self and self realization permeate our views. Its so difficult to come under the new mindsets of reliance on God, that we are worthless without Him, that He is more important than us, that we should serve instead of look for someone to serve us.

I’m looking forward to continuing my life and setting the Lord before me. I hope that the Lord can show people who He is through me and the rest who decide to follow Him.

[...] think we could conquer secular America? No wonder Christians are resented. (Read about it in “Sins of the Past“.) "Christian America" is gone, whatever that [...]

Last summer, we were in the tourist town of Ludington, Michigan. A church had set up a tent on the town square. They were advertising their old town revival. Later that week, we passed by while the "revival" was occuring.

The tent was empty. I felt so sad for the revival – I turned to Steve, "Maybe we should go. I bet they feel sad." He blankly stared towards the tent, "Nnnnnooope. Don’t think I’d like to go to that."

The revival didn’t even win with the pity card. They were even cooking out. No one came. More evidence that this article is dead on.

No one wanted to waste a beautiful day under a musty old canvas – the beach was calling.

I totally agree with this article. For the life of me, I can’t see how or why Christians would want to involve themselves with politics. Politics is a game of programs, systems, manipulation, and fakery.

Even honest attempts at change can’t succeed, because it must be "PC" – instead of addressing the root of the issue – that people need Christ.
