American Christianity

I've come a long way over the last 4 years or so. God has been waking me up after some collegiate backsliding a few years back. He's done it without a church. Just me, Him, a Bible (KJV), and some friends and family. It's been a very cool wilderness experience.

This same experience has come with a pretty large heaping of frustration though. With my spiritual growth comes separation from the world. Even from the general American Christian world. America claims to be a Christian nation, right? Then why do we let abortion run rampant? Why is homosexuality tolerated? Blasphemy in the movie theaters? Disobediant children? Why do people cling to wolves like Joel Osteen, Todd Bentley and Billy Graham? Satan is rendering the Christian voice of this country useless. We should be standing up for our faith. How many American "Christians" are truly saved though?

How many Christians in this country truly seek God's Truth, asking Him for wisdom and guidance? How many rely on a CHURCH for their salvation? So many are deceived. It grieves me greatly. Hey, maybe some people are happy that they have fire insurance, or maybe God wants them where they're at in their walk. I'll never know for sure. I do know this country is in a very sad state, and it continues to be deceived.

How many people daily try and become closer to the Lord? How many try and separate themselves from the world? Not many. Most "Christians" are just like everyone else. Where is the sanctification? How many read their Bibles? Not many. How many ran out on Black Friday in a materialistic frenzy?

There is a giant wave of deception wrapping up this nation. Last night I told a few Christians in a chat room that Christmas has pagan roots and that we should not celebrate it. There's no denying its origins, you can look it up. The moderator told me to change the subject or she would boot me out of the chat. Another person told me to "get saved." Wake up people! Don't you realize that we are in a spiritual battle and we are losing! Yes, this is all God's will and He is in FULL control, but we must be soldiers during these times! Imagine what a strong witness you can be even to another Christian if you started separating yourself from the world! If you truly yearned for God instead of feeling complacent and not growing spiritually!

How can a movement like the Lakeland Florida Revival this past summer actually gain momentum? There was so much demonic activity in there. People researching the movement were feeling oppressed from watching Todd Bentley on youtube! American Christians have NO discernment and think all the shaking and yelling is of God and the Holy Spirit! Wake up people! Would the Lord tell someone to kick someone in the stomach?

We need to repent as a nation and get ourselves back to God, and fast. His mercy and patience is amazing. I'm surprised He hasn't wasted us yet. "Oh but God loves America! It's a Christian nation!" If you sincerely believe that is the case, then I believe you have some quiet time to spend with the Lord. And if you agree with me on this post, I hope you share this message with fellow Christians. It's important that we lift each other up in these times.
