Be bold, be fearless, stand firm for God!

 Good morning dear Christians.  Good is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!

  Friend, today, right now, it is time to no longer be silent, but to express your concern and outrage of what is going on in our Congress.  Christians are sitting quietly by saying 'Oh, it will be okay, we have gone through rough times before', but I say bunk!!!  Here is a song of old that should be song of the year! What a wonderful world by Louis Armstrong.  A beautiful song.

    I do not mean to be political in this devotional.  My whole body becomes sickened to see what is going on in America and how our politicians are not for the people, God and Country but for themselves and their agendas.

  Dietrich Bonhoeffer said over 80 years ago that the church need not be silent, but stand up.  PEOPLE, the church and your moral values ARE UNDER ATTACK!  Then you get the do gooders who will say, "Well, Jesus said to turn the other cheek"!  Did he say to go away as a beaten dog?  NO!  Jesus became angry at sin----look at the money changers in the temple!

   As Christians we must take strength from God, His word, and go forth boldly with the Armour of God.  God destroyed the unGodly through His peoples Israel. Jesus came for all Jews and us, the Gentiles.  We must fight for our right to freely assemble and worship.  If not we will become as North Korea, China, and other countries and be persecuted for our beliefs.  THEN, and only  then, will your faith be tested.

   Here are some verses about standing up for others, and others meaning all people who are struggling like you, me, and America.

   We cannot erase history by tearing down statues and changing names; however, we can distort the past by changing books and not telling the truth.

Is Dr. Suess really offensive?  Is the syrup Mrs. Buttersworth really degrading?  We may be fearful and Dorothy in Wizard of Oz.  Lions, tigers, and bears, OH MY!

 If you have time, please take time to read what Joyce Meyers says about being bold and fearless. 

  Okay, I have given you a lot of readings within this devotional, rant, or whatever you wish to call it.  This lack of common sense, moral teaching, and eradicating history is a concern and I took to this text to express myself.  If  this offends you, please, let's communicate with each other, not ostracize each other.  Stand up for JESUS!

    

           

Thank you for reading today. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
