The Religous State of America

As you might be able to tell, I have been to church again this evening and as always I walk away pondering the message that I have heard.

We want it out of our schools, our government and our daily lives because frankly most people can't be bothered with it and the implications of what it means to be a believer in God and in Jesus Christ. During all this time that people (and not just in America, but I am focusing here since it is home), God was tired of falling on deaf ears. He stepped back and said I'm not one to be where I am not wanted.

And is it any wonder? We have chased God from every aspect of our lives and yet when things go wrong we curse him for not giving us our way. We need to remember that it is not about our way, but about HIS. We need to invite him back into our everyday lives and embrace Him.

He is not far however, because when His children accept him and desire Him to be near, He is there for them. We begin one person at a time, one family at a time. It truly does show that one person can make a difference in the lives of many. After all, look at the amazing life of Jesus Christ and how he died for all of us to forgive our sins...............
