Yesterday in my sermon we were speaking about the Apostle Peter and how God transformed his heart and desired a relationship with him and then I ventured into the area of how the church is a reflection of marriage.

Christ died and shed his blood for the establishment of the church, he is the husband and we who are saved are his bride, and the church itself is a reflection of a woman while Jesus is a reflection of the man.

Its a picture of how he wanted a marriage to be, the husband a man and the wife to be a woman and then bear children just as the church is to enlarge itself with more followers.

Of course today, there is an attack on marriage from people shacking up together to homosexuals shacking up together.

I told my congregation, man keeps preaching that we don’t need marriage,  that if two people are in love and committed to each other regardless of what sex they are, then its a matter of love and equality.

Lets say, for arguments sake,  what man is preaching is correct, it has nothing to do with the church, or pastors or God, and they don’t want to impose any of their beliefs on the religious people or church, alright that would be great.

Go ahead and do your thing and the church will do theirs, no problems.

BUT WAIT, if that was true, then why do they keep demanding to be recognized and married in the church?

The truth is, all of this is a direct attack on God and his church.

God established marriage and the church, he told us how it is to operate, man has said to God, your wrong, we don’t need what you’ve established.

It goes deeper, its not about love and equality, its about how Satan wants to stop the church of God.  If he can destroy marriage, it stops people from needing or going to church, which stops people from receiving Jesus as Savior which ultimately stops the church.

And its working, the more people who are in a homosexual relationship and the more people who shack up together, the more they don’t go to church and church attendance continues to drop now in the 30 %  range.

America is fast becoming an anti-God and anti-church country.

Satan is very subtle he does his damage using his followers who willingly do his bidding while still believing that God is blessing them.

God established marriage for one man and one woman for their happiness, anything other than that is an attack on God himself.

Today I got a response on one of my blogs about the Awesomeness of God, and they asked me if I am retarded?  Thats not even a politically correct response to say the least.

But if believing that our God is awesome and that no one will enter heaven unless they have received Jesus  Christ as Savior by asking forgiveness of their sin, makes me retarded, then I guess I am.

But I would rather go to heaven as a retard than go to hell as someone who thinks their an intellectual.

The world doesn’t want to hear the truth that the only sinners who will enter heaven are the ones who have accepted Christ and are no longer living a lifestyle that is condemned by God.

Our God is a righteous God and there will come a day that he will stand as a judge over sinners. Our God will demand justice and a day of reckoning is soon approaching when all mankind will stand before his Holy Throne.

I hope today, people will choose Jesus and heaven, its an easy decision, Jesus has already prepared the way and its a free gift to anyone who will take it.

Doesn’t cost you a thing, all you have to do is believe.

I was studying for our bible study at church in the book of Acts about the Apostle Paul. He was quite an amazing man, regardless of any circumstance he was in, he remained faithful.

Even in the face of brutal opposition, he would never back down from what he believed, he wouldn’t change his mind in order to appease an angry crowd, he would stand strong and tell them exactly what they didn’t want to hear.

I wonder if any of us would have the courage to tell people that they have to accept Jesus Christ as Savoir in order to go to heaven when that crowd wants you dead?

Today we continually hear that there is many ways to heaven and that anyone can get there, no, thats not true.

There are many who “WILL NOT GET THERE” no matter how many ways they try.

God himself said that no man will come to him except through his son Jesus Christ,  and only those who have been transformed by the renewing of the blood of Christ which means:

No murderer will enter heaven unless he has been transformed (changed by accepting Jesus Christ through asking forgiveness of their sin)  and no longer is a murderer.

No homosexual will enter heaven unless he has been transformed and is no longer a homosexual.

No liar will enter heaven unless he has been transformed and is no longer a liar.

In essence:  NO SINNER will enter heaven unless they have been transformed by Jesus Christ.

And the bible says every person is born a sinner and has to accept Jesus and be forgiven in order to go to heaven.

The Apostle Paul preached that message to a world that rejected Christ, but he stood boldly in the face of opposition.

Today there is an assault on Christians who believe what God and his bible says that there is only one way to heaven, we’re told that we’re hate mongers, bigots, and racial, but the facts are if we believe what Jesus said, then the world is accusing God of the same things.

Why would they want to go to heaven and be with a God that is hateful, a bigot and racial?

And the sad truth is, they don’t want to be in heaven with God and thats why they reject him,  they much rather spend eternity in hell with their god.

Have courage to stand in the face of those who hate and accuse you. Be courageous when they tell you their way to heaven is the right way when you know that their condemned according to Gods word.

Be brave as the attacks against your faith escalate in the near future, as Steven said as they stoned him to death,

I see God standing to welcome me in.

I read where the Starbucks CEO has asked all of his people to stop contributing to the politicians until they go back to Washington and get this outrages spending back in control.

How outrages can this CEO BE???

To think that theres one business man with a brain!!!

I don’t know why in the world business owners didn’t quit contributing to politicians years ago!!!

Its bad enough that Washington taxes business to the hilt,  and then they give donations out of their pockets besides that?  I was wondering if all of them were brain dead.

But perhaps, at least one CEO got some sense.

Just think if all businesses quit contributing to all politicians,  do you think some things would change for the good of America?  I do.

And then if America started cutting their exorbitant paychecks until they did some real work, then we would see even more getting done.

Politicians don’t need more of our money,  we need to take theirs.   We need to vote these useless people out of office and find some who actually love this nation,  love our constitution, and love God and freedom.

But until that happens,  America will continue to spiral out of existence.
