Welcome to The House of Hope!
My friend Judy Nottingham pasted this………
I see it, it feel it…..my country is drowning… killing each other, burning down buildings, attacking police….making police feel they are no good…tearing down public property….tearing down statues….destroying America history..hating each other…not respecting each other…many ‘so called’ leaders speak hate…..many folks are withdrawing from society….these are serious times folks, we must share Jesus, the love of Jesus with all, we must get to work and carry out The Great Commission, we are not reaching the world for Jesus within our walls. Pray for America.
Amen Sister! I have been preaching that for years! Where is the Preaching on HELL? THE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS? THE GREAT COMMISSION?
America was founded on Biblical principles; our laws are based on Scripture. Many of our forefathers, thankfully, were Christians. In the early days of our nation, politicians quoted the Bible so frequently that they didn’t even have to give references because most of the nation’s settlers knew the Bible.
The word politics has a much wider meaning than merely a political party or party platform. Politics affects community life – our towns, our cities, our states, and our country. Churches filled with Christians have a right to be deeply concerned about where politics takes our nation.
The common life of humanity is part of the church’s concern because it is part of God’s concern; and in these days, especially, it is important that people should be reminded that all life – political, social, economic, and industrial – must be subject to the eternal laws of God. This is why it is so important that Christians be involved in who governs our nation and how its laws impact the future.
The church has a spiritual ministry of bringing men and women into a right relationship with one another as well as with God. The church is not preaching the whole Gospel unless it emphasizes righteousness in our daily living through salvation found only in Christ.
We have forgotten that our nation grew strong in an era when moral standards were emphasized; it has grown weak because we condone that which we once condemned. The secret strength of a nation is found in the faith that abides in the hearts, homes and families. We must return to the faith of our fathers which comes from God’s Word.
We live in a time when Satan doesn’t even hide anymore, and people still don’t see him.
From my Dear Freind Pastor Kevin Koop:
Kevin Koop Reminds me of the lyrics of Keith Green’s song: No One Believes in Me Anymore. Here are the lyrics:
Oh, my job keeps getting easier
As time keeps slipping away
I can imitate your brightest light
And make your night look just like day
I put some truth in every lie
To tickle itching ears
You know I’m drawing people just like flies
‘Cause they like what they hear
I’m gaining power by the hour
They’re falling by the score
You know, it’s getting very simple now
‘Cause no one believe in me anymore
Oh, heaven’s just a state of mind
My books read on your shelf
And have you heard that God is dead?
I made that one up myself
They dabble in magic spells
They get their fortunes read
You know they heard the truth
But turned away and followed me instead
I used to have to sneak around
But now they just open their doors
You know, no ones watching for my tricks
Because no one believes in me anymore
Everyone likes a winner
With my help, you’re guaranteed to win
And hey, man, you ain’t no sinner
You’ve got the truth within
And as your life slips by
You believe the lie that you did it on your own
But don’t worry
I’ll be there to help you share our dark eternal home
Oh, my job keeps getting easier
As day slips into day
The magazines, the newspapers
Print every word I say
This world is just my spinning top
It’s all like childs-play
You know, I dream that it will never stop
But I know it’s not that way
Still my work goes on and on
Always stronger than before
I’m gonna make it dark before the dawn
Since no one believes in me anymore
Well, now I used to have to sneak around
But now they just open their doors
You know, no one watches for my tricks
Since no one believes in me anymore
Well I’m gaining power by the hour
They’re falling by the score
You know, it’s getting very easy now
Since no one believes in me anymore
No one believes in me anymore
No one believes in me anymore
I Strongly Suggest You Read This Book By The Great Man of God Chuck Colson
