• Is the Death of Evangelical Christianity Imminent? 5 Monumental Issues Facing the Movement

  December 18, 2012 at 7:54am

  “Being a political force” is not the primary mission of the evangelical. In fact, it is not even on the radar screen. Spreading the good news of the gospel to every corner of the Earth is the primary mission. We are to be the representations of Christ here on Earth, showing His compassion, bringing His healing power, feeding the hungry in His name, comforting the afflicted in His name, and casting out demons in His name. (That last one will upset many but it is one the Jesus instructed and is rarely practiced.)

  We evangelicals can do none of these things if left to our own devices. We are powerless. But we do these things through Jesus as He leads us and empowers us. Evangelical churches that strive to teach the bible and show the love of Christ in all the ways described above, are growing, thriving churches.

  Churches that try to sugarcoat the bible, or gloss over the facts, to be politically correct are losing their congregations rapidly. With fewer in the congregation, it is impossible to carry out any of the other missions of the Christian church.

  So teaching the bible as written is the first key. Putting the bible into practice in the community is the first mission of those who filled with the Holy Spirit. It is not our mission to enforce the law, that is written on our hearts, among those who are still lost. Rather it is our mission to help the lost find their way so that His law will be written on their hearts as well.

• Homeless Man Behind Viral NYPD Photo Now Shoeless Again, Demanding ‘Piece of the Pie’

  I think this is what Jesus meant when He said to turn the other cheek. It must have felt like a cold slap in the face to Officer DePrimo to read about this beggar’s comments. In order for him to be charitable again, he will have to turn the other cheek and do so in the same spirit of love, while expecting nothing more than the same result. It’s not fair. But it’s what compassion is all about.

• School Forces Child to Remove ‘God’ From Veteran’s Day Poem: ‘Separation of Church & State’

  It is time to end the monopoly of government-run Communist indoctrination centers otherwise known as public schools. The system should be replaced with equalized funding of a voucher system where vouchers can be used at any type of school, regardless of its affiliation, as long as the basics of reading, writing, math and science are taught proficiently. That would be better that what we are getting out of ghetto schools now.

  I don’t think he’ll be pointing his weapon at anyone in public for quite a while. But is is a shame that the dog didn’t get a chance to play with his chew toy.

• Teen Allegedly Denied Confirmation After Priest Sees Pro-Gay Marriage Facebook Post

  Confirmation is by definition an affirmation of faith in Jesus Christ as well as the doctrines of the Catholic Church. It is a choice that is made freely by individuals having reached the level of maturity at which they can fully understand what it is they are affirming. If he is not in agreement with the teachings of the church, he should not be confirmed. It’s as simple as that.

  I am absolutely opposed to the sacrament of Confirmation being bestowed upon people just because they reach a certain age. They must choose Confirmation or it is nothing but a useless ritual. And the church has every right to refuse the sacraments to any individual who professes beliefs contrary to church doctrine.

  Now I want to see them refusing Communion to Joe Biden and other liberal Catholic politicians.

  Sounds like IBEW tactics to me. If you thought the Teamsters were brutal, you’ve never crossed the IBEW.

  The way this country is divided, they could get 50 million signatures and Macy’s knows that there are another 49 million who will shop there. You win some, you lose some.
