Dr. Jeffress on The O’Reilly Factor: Wimpy Christians Are the Reason We’re Losing the Culture War

Watch Dr. Jeffress on FOX News discussing the war on Christmas with Bill O’Reilly. He also makes the point that the church is weak. We can’t win the culture war unless the church believes in the power of Christ.

    If you are sure they are wimpy, are you sure they are Christians?

    • WellNowDear

      I’m glad somebody finally said this. Lots of people just don’t understand how so many so called Christians act when someone stands up for themselves not to mention our faith. If you don’t act like a wimp you are treated as if you are a rank sinner. You are told you are being un-Christian if you dare to confront anybody who is acting like a jerk. You are called “judgmental” and I don’t mean in a positive way if you so much as dare to say sin is “sin”. You are supposed to tolerate anything out of virtually anybody all the while with a smarmy smile on your face just like the so called Christians have. It is just so disgusting.

      • YomamaYo

        I don’t think God intended for us to be “doormats for Jesus”. If we’re supposed to imitate him, I can think of a whole lot of places where people got properly schooled in the truth. We just gotta use a little wisdom. I usually let go of the goats and keep on moving. :)

        • GQ4U

          If you go with the goats you’re not with the flock where the Shepherd wants you to be.

          • YomamaYo

            Yup… unfortunately I’ve tried to turn goats into sheep.. say baa, say baaa… then they eat your shoe. lol.

          • GQ4U

            Stop trying!!!
            Only God can transform a goat into a sheep.

          • YomamaYo

            Ha ha… yeah… well, I’ve been told a truly faithful believer is one who does their best MOST of the time… thank God for grace, huh? Sometimes we let that old phileo love get above the agape. :)

        We “exremist Bible thumper” Christians have a name for the “wimpy” so-called Christians that you describe; we like to call them “coffeehouse Christians”, because their motto seems to be something like “coffee’s the thing and Christ’s the King.” Yeah, right. Most of them choose to conveniently ignore the fact that God commands us to “Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature”, because it’s much more comfortable to sit around in Christian coffee shops “fellowshipping” with other coffehouse Christians about how great it is to have salvation, how God has Blessed them so abundantly and how they can hardly wait for Jesus to come back and take them up into the clouds, meanwhile, billions of people are facing a 7 year tribulation of extreme pain, death and despair followed by an eternity in hell, and no one’s there to warn them of this and share the truth of salvation with them because most “Christians” (in their case I use the term loosely) are just too busy with their nose facing the heavens and their pinkies extended while drinking gourmet coffee and “bragging” about all of the luxuries that God has Blessed them with. Yes, Satan will also do whatever he can to keep Christians dormant and impotent by satisfying the lusts of their flesh through materialism, and convince them that they are Blessings from God who is rewarding them for their faith as He smiles down on his good and faithful servants. it’s very easy to be completely backslidden and not realize it when you’re praying and going to church. It’s a bit like a husband and wife who have been living a lie for many years, and are still together (though not in love or fulfilled) but haven’t come to realize that their marriage actually died many years ago.

  • ARMYOF69

    They are turning the other cheek.

  • MARYANN33

    Preachers never mention hell anymore…Let’s count how many times it is in the Bible. Preachers will have the blood on their hands for failing to warn or sin and the wrath of God. God is wonderful, but he isn’t Santa Claus or a nice fool…

    • YomamaYo

      Nearly every reference to “hell” in the Bible is literally grave (hades). There are a few which are translated gehenna which is the lake of fire (which is reserved for the devil and his spirits). Also, God says of His children who have holy spirit in us, that we are not appointed to wrath. If someone is born again of God’s Spirit, they have this life to choose to serve Him, but there is no blood on our hands when we enter into eternity. The ones He “spews out of his mouth” were never born again to begin with… just religious.

      We may throw away eternal rewards, but every other wrong we did will one day be burned up by God’s purifying fire. There is not one sin in God’s eyes that is greater than another, we all have sinned and come short of God’s glory. The sacrifice of Jesus Christ is sufficient to cause us to be presented to God without spot or blemish.

      We hold forth the truth, but what people do with that truth is between them and God. He didn’t ask us to judge others’ sins. It’s above our pay grade. So those who have ears to hear will hear the truth… or perhaps we plant the seed and someone down the road gives it a little water. But it’s always God who gives the increase.

            It would be helpful (now don’t take this as a critique) if you could use your knowledge of the scripture as a “board” from which to bounce of opinions of the current topics. Relate scripture to what is happening specifically not, generally. This would be so helpful for those of us who are not as gifted.

      • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_JKVX3VKUJZAWBS3OPFWDWYRRXQ Endgame

        I believe you may have confused the scripture. God stated that we are to judge with “righteous” judgement, not to completely tolerate the evils of others. If the government wants to FORCE us to accept their plan to use the public school system to indoctrinate our children with pro-homosexual ideologies, we are NOT to accept it and we have every right to judge their corrupt actions, and them for the reprobate and un-Godly people that they are. have you forgotten that Jesus himself violently attacked the money changers at the Temple? God does not expect us to simply turn the other cheek whenever we are faced with danger that threatens the safety of others and/or ourselves. He gave us courage and strength for a reason, and Godly men are NOT to tolerate evil’s intrusion. Standing against tyranny and injustice for righteousness’ sake is absolutely expected of us by God, and if being a TRUE Christian means being a wimp, then that would make the god that we serve a wimp, and I can assure you that MY God is no wimp, and He’s going to prove this to the New World Order army and it’s globalist masters very soon. I can honestly say that there’s nowhere I’d rather be less than in their shoes now, and especially their near future.

          AMEN Brother!!!

        • YomamaYo

          I’m actually on the same page with everything you said. I speak out often and loudly against the evils being pushed on believers. I know that God has judged us to be righteous and that we are to make righteous judgements according to His Word.

          Guess I wasn’t real clear, but the judgement I was speaking of is with everyday people that we encounter. Sometimes I’m quick to “judge” someone based on 5-senses things, when God is perhaps asking me to listen to them and see if there’s a heart matter where I can offer them something that will bring them closer to Him.

          I really love your last sentence! Isn’t there a verse that talks about people begging for the rocks to fall on them in those days? Thank God we’ll be outta here by then! Thanks again for your post.

          • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_JKVX3VKUJZAWBS3OPFWDWYRRXQ Endgame

            Yes, absolutely. In Revelation 9:6 it states “And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.” It also states in Luke 21:26 “Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.” We have just recently entered into the era of time that Jesus described as the “beginning of sorrows, as it states in Matthew 24:6-8 “And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.All these are the beginning of sorrows.”

        • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_LA3NB4EIG6FQGAKPKMFZM3FRFU Bradley Hill

          God says in James that believers are able to judge the fruit of another person, being
          there deeds, but YamamaYo I believe was speaking of a persons motives. Motives are always left to God to judge because only He alone knows the heart of man.

        • waterman

          Very true, just read Eph. 6, 11-21. We are to be Christian Soldiers, you can’t be a soldier and be a wimp or a coward. We are to stand against those things that are against the principles of God.

          Our enimies use the art of protest to gain supporters, we should fight fire with FIRE that is Godly FIRE, God says that He is a consuming fire……We can and God will use His all consuming fire to destroy sin and death and we can use the very fire of God that is in us to fight against those that God teaches are wrong and against God.
          But we can not be wimps, we need to go back at the enemy and show him we will not just sit and let him win.

          And this is in the literal sense too, not just spiritual. The enemy has taken over the democrat party and we can change it by calling them out and letting them know that we will not go quietly and we will fight for our God given rights as Christians.
          GOD WILLING THEY WILL NOT WIN AND WE WILL TAKE BACK THIS COUNTRY.
          GOD BLESS AMERICA AND THE TRUE AMERICAN.

        You are pretty much correct about sin is sin. one isn’t bigger than the other with exception of the unpardonable sin, Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost is NOT forgiven to man in this life or the life to come.

        • JANE18

          Gene, do you kinow when THAT sin can happen? Before Jesus comes back at the 2nd Advent, satan(the antiChrist) will have been here for 5 months, and if we believe and follow him and not let GOD use and speak through us, THAT is the unpardonable sin. We will have committed blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Don’t say ghost–GOD ain’t no spook!! Do not listen to deceitful pastors, reverends, etc., check out the meanings of words(you need a Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, King James Version, none of the others). It is really going to be somnething the moment Jesus returns…cannot wait……………………………………

    • waterman

      So, you really think that a loving God throws people into a bottomless pit of hell fire damnation burning them for ever and ever. That would make God a terrorist no better than muhammed. Jesus came to save the world from people like you who think that God would do this to his creation He made us who we are and He will change us in the twinkling of an eye we will shed corruption (sin and death) and be incorruptible (washed clean and made white as snow and get a new name. My God is not a terrorist and will not burn me forever and will do just as He says and save me. And I am a sinner just like you.
      Would you burn your own son or daughter in a bottomlless pit of fire forever, just because sinned against you some how…….. really!!!………Jesus came to save the world……. God says that Jesus is the Sacrificial Lamb and is a Gift to mankind for the remission man’s sins, and He says that we can do nothing to earn God’s grace…….. IT IS A GIFT!!! You don’t earn a gift by being good or bad.
      That includes saying some magic words that you think saves you some how. Like Lord come in to my life, save me and be Lord of my life, I repent Lord and ask you to forgive me of all my sins past and present. So, you think by just saying these so called magic words or the sinner’s prayer is what saves people…… you are foolish. I refer you back to “you can do nothing to earn God’s grace”, that means that simply saying something like this will EARN you a free pass to the Kindom of God.
      God will save ALL MEN, especially those that believe. That means even those that do not believe. So, quit sending people to hell, it’s not your job anyway.

      • MARYANN33

        There won’t be that many Christians in heaven…They have heard an easy salvation message. After you pray it you have to live it and walk it. Broad is the road to destruction and narrow is the road to heaven and few there be that find it..Strait and narrow and difficult. Christianity is not for sissies and the broad way that seems right to a man and leads to death has many on that path..God is a just God…He is not patsy. He has rules for following him..You hear his voice and to what he says….You should be afraid, very afraid…Unless you have found the heavenly road.

        God does not send any one to Hell, they thenselves do it—by a lifestyle that is sin and they have not repented(turned away from) the sin(ephesians 2) but also they cannot believe without being made alive

      • MARYANN33

        Have you read any of the books of the people who were shown hell so they can tell of it?

        The Rich Man and Lazarus

        ^19 “There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. ^20 At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores ^21 and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

        ^22 “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. ^23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. ^24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’

        ^25 “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. ^26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’

        ^27 “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, ^28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’

        ^29 “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’

        ^30 “‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’

        ^31 “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’”

      • WellNowDear

        If someone offers you a gift, you can always refuse it. A loving parent will tell their child to avoid a burning pit but, ultimately it is the child’s choice whether or not they listen. You will do everything you can to steer your child from the pit. Rebellious children will often get burned when they refuse to listen to their parent. Is the parent cruel when the child jumps into the fire and gets burned? In today’s politically correct world we would consider the parent abusive simply because the fire is there. What if the child is an adult? Will the parent be held responsible because the adult child gets burned by the fire?

        Your twisted reasoning is portraying God exactly that way. He doesn’t make us jump into Hell. A way around it is offered to everyone of us and yet many insist on getting burned. They rush pellmell toward the fire and would kill anyone who tries to stop them. They persecute anyone who tells them ways to avoid the fire.
        You portray God as completely unjust. We humans who are very imperfect have some sense of justice. Even we know that evil exists. Would a just God reward evil yet, that is exactly what you are saying. You are saying that God is completely without any sense of justice. You’re saying that he rewards evil.

      I have never seen a single conservative news person give their true opinions about homosexuality. They dance around the subject & talk about being proponents of “traditional marriage”, and that somehow makes them less offensive. I’m not saying it’s right, but we pretty much know what would happen if they boldly spoke out. Everyone tries so hard to be politically correct, and it makes my blood boil sometimes! I know everyone is not able to home school, but that’s what I did for my kids because of how the schools were starting to promote it… and that was over 20 years ago! I warn young parents to be aware how evil it has become for our kids.

      My personal feeling is that Bill O’Reilly has the mind that he is working to get to heaven. He always talks about how good his deeds are, but many people do not understand salvation, especially
      Catholics in my experience.
      I listen to him almost every evening and he seems to me to be works oriented. Just my view, but God knows what Bill believes for sure.

    Dr.Jeffress is right on this matter !! I’ve noticed on the forums that very few people that like to call themselves Christians toe the line. They always manage to separate the warriors of our cause as different people than themselves and won’t give a hand in combating the enemy—-and that’s what we are fighting daily of the forums !! The warriors have managed to define the enemy as ignorant and a bunch of idiots who like to distort the truth to win their cause. The true Christians need to stand up for what is right regardless of insulting an enemy of our cause.

  • http://www.facebook.com/jeff.lines1 Jeff Lines

    Is it really being wimps … or our inability to unite across all our faiths for the cause of Christianity and Christian values? How many didn’t vote because a Mormon was running or some religious difference reason. At this point, those who didn’t vote last election were in abstentia voting against our traditional American Christian way of life which is what is on the line. I believe Obama refers to it as fundamentally changing America and he has made it very clear that is what he intends to do. We failed to put away our differences long enough to unite in fighting against that.

  • Captain Kirk

    The reason Christianity is under attack is because the media refuses to recongnize that liberal secular athiests are hate mongering predudice bigots. Take some of the verbal attacks they use against Christians and evangelicals then substitute the word “gays” or “blacks” and all HELL would break loose in the media. But the major media thinks of themselves as more enlightened and view religion as backward. Marx said religion is the opiate of the people and they believe it.

  • Daveyboy

    Wimpy Christians may be to blame, or it might be that Christians who believe Dr. Jeffress’ teaching in his sermon series, “Twilight’s Last Gleaming.” Earlier this year, Dr. Jeffress taught about the “inevitable collapse” of America. he says that Christians can only “delay America’s eventual demise” because “this world’s days are numbered.” This is sort of demotivating, I think. Maybe Christians aren’t wimpy, but just waitin’ for the rapture hoping they won’t be left behind.

    Point of fact, as technology progresses, people will continue to lose fear of the old mystical ways. If religious leaders don’t want to lose that power through fear mongering and threatening the horrors of hell fire and damnation for sinners, they need to step it up into the digital age so they can relate to folks in this century! I mean really, the Pope just made the news for Tweeting for the first time last week… Seriously?? Is sending a friend request to the Pope on Facebook grounds for burning in Hell for all eternity? People with their own minds won’t buy it, but hey, worth a shot to try engage in the now instead of dragging people backwards… Also, why is everything a war on something with you religious folks? I guess everything has been war since the invention of religion, and killing in the name of God has been the basis for more bloodshed in history than anything else. People have been oppressed by religious zealotry for centuries and now that people are breaking the bonds of control via fear, there is a war brewing?? C’mon.. Overly dramatic much? I’m all for one having faith if it suits you, but not everything is an attack on your beliefs, IF not everyone believes as you do. Those who seem to preach tolerance the loudest are the most intolerant, especially to those of us who just don’t care and want to live a peaceful, neutral, objective, and happy life. I’m not going to aplogize for my soul being a free agent…

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_LA3NB4EIG6FQGAKPKMFZM3FRFU Bradley Hill

    . I have a few Christian friends, who attend church
    down in Woodinville area. The last time we traded emails was about
    a week before the presidential elections. I was endorsing the fact that
    we as Christians should stand up to the secularist thinking in this country by telling
    people the truth about what is wrong with how this administration is running
    this country. I do this by heavy blogging at home, but I do speak to people in
    stores, events and other places as well. Same Sex Marriage just passed in
    Washington State and how this should not be. Abortion and how this
    is wrong and immoral. How Americans are being lied to by President Obama
    and the Democratic machine.

    But, my friends said we should stick to praying for our
    country and not get ourselves involved in the politics of the issues that
    surround these practices/evil laws that are being passed in and throughout our
    vast country. I have sent my friend a few other emails unrelated to
    politics since last time and she has not replied to me. Interesting, that
    I challenged my friend to stand up, speak out and be heard, but she did not
    think it was her responsibility. WOW…Jesus says that we will be known by
    our love for one another, so it would seem to me that speaking the truth in
    love would be a good cause. Saying this differently, Faith without
    works is dead. Now, I know my friend knows all these verses in Scripture
    because she has been in the word for 46 years and I have known her for 23 of
    those years. Christians just don’t want to get involved or heard.
    The fear of man will bring a snare—is sure working itself out in the church
    bodies across America these days.

    Even when we hear of a pastor someplace in the country speak
    the truth and he is ostracized by authorities and we read or hear about it, one
    would think that a large band of churches all over the United States would get
    involved in helping this man out, but no. Not one church does anything
    about it. Why? Why are our church leaders so complacent or
    indifferent to helping another brother in the Lord make a stand for
    Christ? For truth?

    Just a few weeks ago, I wrote to the acting Community Leader
    for G.M.O. with an article on this very same issue of Christian’s not
    standing up and voicing what the secularist are doing is sin. He wrote
    back to me saying the very same thing my friend said about not getting involved
    in the issues of today. He said as my friend did, that Christians should pray.
    It seems like an epidemic with Christians, that they are hard pressed to
    act against injustice. Jesus was no mambie pambie about telling people
    the truth. He was crucified on a cross for telling people that they were
    wrong and more so for telling them the truth. Maybe that is what
    Christians are afraid of when stating the truth of the word of God to those who
    want evil run this world. That they will be targeted by a group or organization
    and nobody will come help them take the stand with them. Pray—yes, we all
    should pray, but to hide behind prayer should not be our greatest stand against
    evil. Can you imagine if all Jesus Christ did was pray for our
    salvation, No, he was a man of action. Not civil disobedience, but
    of truth and action.

    Christians today are denying the power of God in them to
    stand tall in situations where activists are winning at taking God out of mangers,
    off Government walls and next our currency. Our God given rights are being
    violated every day. Our Constitution is being replaced whenever
    convenient. If you watched the DNC (Democratic National Convention)
    before the election, over half of the people who attended, voted to have
    the name GOD removed from the platform that evening. A vote on the floor
    was taken 3 times and the people who wanted GOD out, won—but the official
    said that the yeah’s got the vote because Obama had previously told the officiates
    who were running the program that evening to bring a vote of yeah. The
    crowd of people there were angry for the vote against them and began to
    chant. After the word GOD had been taken out, there was such a stink from
    both sides of the isle that Obama had the word GOD put back into the Democratic
    platform as to appease the people on both sides that may be voting for him in
    the upcoming election. It is all about votes with Obama, not principal,
    values or Constitution.

    Well, here we are today. Pastors of churches are
    shrinking back because if they say anything about how the left is overreaching
    their power, then they stand to lose people in the church or they might be
    targeted to take something away from them or the pastor might be hassled in the
    media or How will they pay for the big church addition or pay for all the
    programs they have for the kiddies in they lose funding.

    I think God is very displeased and because of such a lack of
    faith in our churches/believers today, He will probably allow the evil to cover
    the United States long enough for the Christians to get their heads out of the
    sand and choose by faith to be counted.

    i thoroughly agree; once a people leaves Jehovah and begins following other gods, there will always be conflict and difficulty among all people in that particular social system. since we have become a global society with internet and other international communications abilities, we have involved a lot of foreign gods and religion that are non-Yahweh/Jehovah/Christ based, and it seems that once we, America, began worshipping other gods in our society, there began to be increasingly depreciaton of values, and relationships, behaviors, identifcations, and other individual characteristics, that define this nation. or plainly SIN.

    if one would look at the American history he/she would learn that we were founded on the principle that the freedom of religion was based on the worship of Christ, and they arrived here as a refuge from persecution from Catholocism and its bias on a multitude of doctrinal differences—mainly infant baptism/salvation, this led to scriptural disagreement. based on this difference, the Catholic “church” became infuriated with the “Protestants”–luther, calvin, wesley brothers, and a lot of other religion-breaks—and began seeking them out and killing them for worshipping oustside the catholic doctrines.

    Since we have left our first love and begun seeking other loves, we have prostituted ourselves from the personal relationship with Jehovah (Genesis 1-4) this was just the beginning of our prostitution from God and His beloving arms. since that time, in current world history—- after the birth and death of Christ—our prostitution has become increasingly tighter, only a strong revival of His church–Bride– will deter his punishment on other people. This will allow them more time to repent of their sin and receive grace in the form of salvation through Christ and His mercies.
    and until ALL Christians, those that have a personal relationship with Christ, recognize that all they can do without Christ, is sin(all that is within man is sin) and one’s actions are based on his inner being. in other words, all that we are-sin- which is the basis of our actions. that being the case, our only hope for a holy and pure life can be found only in Christ.

    Purity and holiness are values/characteristics that Christ’s child seek.
    Without Christ and Him alone we are bound for that dark, polluted, place from whence we, as His child were rescued. and the only way that others can see where they are bound and that they can be redeemed from that destiny, is just look at us and see what He has done for and through us, and they will, once He has “quickened”-made alive in Christ, see themselves as they are without Him and what they can have, and desire the Eternal life that He has given us(ephesians chapter 2).
    if you could find and read the sermon “Sinners in the hands of an angry God”, I think you would enjoy it, and I also feel that this sermon(i cannot remember the preacher that presented the sermon, but it written in the late 1800′s i think.) would assist in the readers of this entry would better understand what we have been discussing.
    but they will not be able to read this until shut up and send this! ! ! so here we go! ! !

    No more wimpy Christians, we need armed Christians, we have to chase the “MONEYCHANGERS” out of the halls of Congress. That’s what they are they change money from the hands of bribers and corrupt lobbyists to their pockets to do favors instead of serving the people that’s from the president right down to the vast majority of elected members. We have almost lost America and if we don’t get serious about calling a crook a crook even if they have a fancy title and wear a fancy suit paid for by we peasants. Send the crooked _astards back home to work for a living.

    Dr. Jeffress just HIT the nail on the head. Forget about denominations, Christians and Jews simply don’t stand up any longer. Either one believes in the Almighty or one does not, there can be no…. in the middle. Time to get our collective backs up and say enough. No, we’re not going to take this secularist crap any longer. The squeaky wheel gets greased folks and the only ones making any noise at all are the secularists. Remember “reap what you sow”? Well Christians have been sowing apathy for at least 50 years. We are reaping what we’ve sown. It’s time for a little damnation and hellfire, and the devil with all the PC garbage, and disgusting pacifism.

    Churches no longer apply the Bible to today. It is a timeless piece and all the answers are there. Yes, God is in control of everything, however, we have choice that sometimes throws a wrench in the plans and purpose He has for us to change things in our nation. Christians dont understand that the spirit does its work through us as His vehicle, not by sitting on them waiting to be saved. If thats the case, why are we even here? I&II Peter, and Jude say it all. We are supposed to stand for our values and God’s Law, protect those rights and freedoms for which we were endowed, not silently watch them slip away. There is no fence or compromise here, all things are clear and absolute, no gray areas. I heard recently an elders wife say about abortion, “if God wanted that baby to be born, it would not have been aborted”, of course forgetting the free will involved. Our pastor even said it didnt matter what the outcome of the election was…. needless to say, we left and are seeking a church that speaks truth and isnt afraid to. Values are compromised and the Church needs to wake up.

    …sitting on our hands, not sitting on them… oops

    Get the book: Restoring America One County at a Time, Joel McDurmon
    It talks about the action side of what we can do to take our nation back, starting with our own families and communities, and local government and education. On American Vision .org you can download the first chapter to get a feel for the action plan in the book…. of course, this is for serious people only, as there is sacrafice involved. The good tissue needs to multiply and flourish in a diseased body to bring health back to it again. We reap what we sow, lets get busy sowing for our childrens futures.

    What we have are a lot of politically correct teachers, preachers, pastors, reverends, etc.. They don’t want to offend….hey, too bad! But, the worst thing they do is deceive. So many don’t know the Hebrew, Greek, or Aramaic meanings of words and phrases. Too bad most of them have not read 1Peter 4:17, or they would “teach it like it really is”! Folks, don’t be slack, buy a Strong’s Concordance of the Bible, use the King James Version Bible(no other), and get to learning. We have got to be smarter than the serpent(you do know who that was and is, don’t you?)

    I have been studying the Bible alot lately, and I can see exactly why the nation is declining. People don’t really know the Bible. If we really KNEW the Bible, we wouldn’t be having the problems we’re having now. The churches have been politically corrected.

    The enemy within has infiltrated all our institutions. Ask why do we allow the ACLU to exist? Why are we involved with the U.N?Both are humanist, ungodly, communistic organizations? We’ve become “lazy” complacent, apathetic. We’ve been poisoned with our food, which can change the mind. We’ve been indoctrinated through schools, TV, media, movies, music to immorality, and violence.

    A nation is defined by a culture, a language, a heritage, a FAITH. The U.S. was founded/created by the white European people, rooted in the Judeo/Christian FAITH. The enemy wants to destroy this nation. We are in an old Biblical war with Ishmael, Esau, and the serpent seed.

    STOP all legal and illegal immigration from nations we have nothing in common. They are using multiculturalism as a weapon…inviting ungodly peoples in. The world’s people are coming in not respecting our people, our culture, our language, our FAITH. They only want what we have.

    Satan can’t take the entire world until Judeo/Christian nations are brought down.

    Go back to God’s Word, protect our nation.
