Monday night is my time to watch Ravi Zacharias

Monday night is my time to watch Ravi Zacharias. Fantastic preacher!! As I sat here considering something he said, I found I could apply it to the current situation regarding the refugees.

How often have we prayed that Muslims could hear the Gospel and prayed for an opening? How do we turn away the very ones who need to hear the Gospel the most?

Will there be terrorists among them? Of course. Is there a reason, as Christians, to fear? That depends on what we fear. If we fear what man can do to us, we are in error. Scripture tells us not to fear man who can only kill the body but to fear the ONE who can take both body and soul. Many times throughout Scripture we are told, "Fear not." JESUS adds, "for I am with you."

I'm not totally over my first reaction to the influx of Muslim refugee/terrorist. I am, however, trying to listen more to GOD than to my gut. My gut reaction often passes rather quickly. It has lasted longer this time.

The President has stated we are no longer a Christian nation. I must say that he has struck a sour note with that one. The problem is that we, us Christians, have failed to act like the LORD JESUS CHRIST has taught us. We embrace sin. There is little to no repentance when we are caught in the very act of sin. We, to the contrary screech, "YOU CANNOT JUDGE ME!! YOU HYPOCRITE!!" We deny the very facts we claim to uphold. We Christians send mixed signals to a sin infested world and wonder why they don't want to listen to us when we tell them about our Savior and how they should turn from sin, repent, and follow JESUS. OUR OWN LIVES BARELY REFLECT THAT!

PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!!
PRAISE HIM ALL CREATURES HERE BELOW!!
PRAISE HIM ALL YE HEAVENLY HOSTS!!
PRAISE FATHER, SON, AND HOLY GHOST!!

SHALOM!! Pray for the PEACE of Jerusalem!!!
