Liberty, Under God NOT Allah

God does not condone the evil that is on this earth today, but He allows it because He loves us and wants people to CHOOSE to love Him. Jesus said "No greater love hath any man, than that he would lay down his life for a friend." (John 15:13) Then, He called us "friends". (John 15:12-15)

The Bible has a lot to say against people who would force you to choose something you are against. Only the strong survive in God's world. Only the strong will inherit the Kingdom God. Paul said it best, "Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." (Ephesians 6:13)

Remember, God does not win souls through fear. He provides a way OUT of that fear through Jesus. (2 Timothy 1:7) There is no Saviour under Allah like that. All the followers of Allah want to do is kill, destroy and create chaos. There is no liberty under Allah!

2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

2 Peter 2:15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

About Left Leaning Idiots

I studied sociology in high school and psychology as extra reading. One of the things that I learned was that uneducated masses of people tend to "follow the crowd" or "keep up with the jones's" because it's the "in" thing to do. Has nothing to do with what they believe, however the government tends to listen to them because there are more of them than there are of us for the most part. Most (even those who are educated) tend to shy away from politics and religion because it is too stressful to think about or deal with and causes personal problems between them and their peers, therefore, if all their peers are leaning left, they will too. The government wants to keep them happy so they will vote (which, again, is the "in" thing to do, not because they believe in what they are voting for) so they concede certain liberties from us all. Then, those on the blind side shut up for awhile (after all, their pride will defend the actions that resulted from their own movement) and the only ones who scream are the eyes-opened educated minority who are then considered "extremist". Right out of the "Communist Manifesto": playbook.

Pray, and remember...

Pray for Saeed Abedini, and his family. He is still in prison in Iraq.
Pray for Patras Ghani and his mission in Pakistan.
Pray for Meshock Devanesan and his ministry in India.
Pray for our lawmakers, who have the power, if they so choose to stop this downward spiral our nation is undergoing.
Pray for our soldiers, that they may win their battles and return home to their families (pray for them, too) to a country that is safe and secure.
Pray for us, that we all choose wisely which side of the fight to be on.
Pray for those who are sick, in the hospital and otherwise...those who are disappointed at not being released when they hoped they would be as the sickness (whatever it may be) seems to win out in their bodies, pray for their healing and their strength, and if all else fails, their soul.
Pray for our families, that God enables us to provide and protect them.
And finally, pray for ourselves, that God gives us the strength to overcome whatever the world throws at us on a daily basis.

Above all, remember, God loves us all more than any man or woman on earth has the ability to.
