Now I'm Mad

I was reading about the apostles and how they and other early Christians were really bold witnesses for Christ. Even when they were told not to mention His name, they (Peter and John) told the counsel more or less that they had to do what they had to do, and then they praised God for getting a beating in His name. Would we? They along with the likes of Steven (who was stoned to death) and John the Baptist (beheaded) suffered endless persecution continuously. Imprisonment, beatings, stonings, even death in most cases was the "norm". So, I was thinking.... how many of us would be willing to endure such things? There are missionaries and believers all over the world to this day being persecuted and killed for His kingdom, but what about in the USA?

So why am I mad? In the news lately there are things going on such as in Gainsville, Florida, transgenders can use whichever restroom they feel appropriate, states allow same sex, and let's call it what it is, gay marriage. By the way, have you been to McDonalds lately? One of their execs was given a seat on the Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce and, in a release by the company, because Christians say that being gay is wrong and a sin, they (Christians) are spreading hatred! Do you listen to gosple radio? There is legislation that is called the fairness act or close to that. It says that if anti-abortion supporters are given air time, then pro-abortion has to get the same amount on the same station.

This country was founded on Christian principles. I think it was Ben Franklin, an author of the Constitution, that said "If you are not a Christian, you cannot be called an American". There is a sign that is often put on church signs that states "God is coming back and, boy is He mad". Praise God that is true, He is coming back. But, I am too. I think that it is time for all Christians to get mad, quit taking the punishment of a Godless world, stand and be heard. Therefore, one of my Newyears resolution is to be a bold witness for God, and to let people know that if you are gay, that is a sin. If you are an unsaved sinner, you are not going to Heaven, and finally, there is only one way to Heaven and that is through the Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God!
