Tuesday 10/16/12 Politically Correct

Dear Father in Heaven, please forgive us of our sins this day and help us to march forward as a warrior for You.  Thank You so much for all the blessings You bestow upon us and all You have done and still do for all of us.  Thank You, Lord, for our daily bread with enough left over to help hundreds of others.  In all things, dear Lord, we give honor and glory ... In Jesus' Name, I pray.  Amen.

Good Evening, my dear brothers and sisters.  Yes, a late start again today.  I just do not know where the days are going lately.  The good, good news from our house, we are on the green side of the grass.

Tuesday and the day we pray for a cure for diseases.  Also please pray today for Eleanor Saylor as she has been admitted to the hospital.  Please keep praying for Vicki, we really need to cover Vicki in prayer.  Please remember to pray for the election, pray and listen for God to tell you who to vote for.  Again, as for me and my house, we will forever vote for life!!  Let me get to the message ... I do want to get this out before the great debate ...

Politically Correct - 10/16/2012.

Titus 1:16 - They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny Him.  They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.  (NIV)

Hey, those words sound strong, but they are right from the Bible, and yes, I have used them before.

Dear brothers and sisters, we are not Christians by default.  Seems sometimes the news people seem to put people in groups, and they call some people who have done bad things Christians, even if that person might have just committed a very major crime.  Christian means to be Christ-like, so when you see people saying they are Christians and going in the opposite direction as Christ, then they could not be Christians.  With that said, we all sin, but we do not set out to do it daily.

Years ago, after coming to Christ, some folks where I was working at the time said, "he acts like Jesus.  He prays for people who are sick and expects them to be healed.  He has prayer meetings in his office and somehow gets away with it." ... Now these folks that made the statement thought it would upset me.  The truth of the matter is if we truly are Christians then people should see Christ in us.  We should never, never, take the glory away from God, we need to be sure in all we do the glory goes to Jesus.  The above Scripture is from Titus 1:16.  They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny Him, tells me that we should act the best we can to be Christ-like and people should see Jesus in us.

I can remember when a dear friend of mine left a church, he said, "There was no Jesus there."  The pastor was not preaching the truth as it came from the Bible and no calls for salvation were given.

The politically correct part comes in for so many this day are afraid to talk about Jesus in public because it is not politically correct.  We have many, many Christians working at places where they cannot just come out and say to others, you need to have Jesus in your life.  But they can live the life of Jesus and when one-on-one, they can always find a way to get their message to the others.  Folks, if you deny God, you just might find out that in the end, when you stand before Jesus for judgment, you might be denied also.

But with that said, do not let people put you on a guilt by saying if you do not forward something they wrote or sent you, you are denying God.  I do not get involved in those "chain e-mails.

Move forward each day, in the name of Jesus, and work for Him all the time, and you can do this by living for Him.  If you are at a place where you cannot speak out loud, but please remember, EVEN CHRISTIANS HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH IN THIS COUNTRY, even though sometimes it is not politically correct!!  Remember also if they take you to task for speaking out for Jesus, you are in good company.  Jesus died for it!  AMEN.

Dear Father in Heaven, I love You dearly and pray others on this line love You dearly also.  Please watch over Your children, dear Lord.  In Jesus' name, Amen.

Now go forth and share your blessings and serve our Lord Jesus Christ.  Love ya, Pastor Dan.

BREAKING NEWS, THERE HAS JUST BEEN AN EARTHQUAKE IN MAINE.  It is in the Bible that this would happen.  What is not in the Bible is someone will blame it on former President Bush.

Sorry, I just had to say that.
