Subject: Christian Activism? |
Bible Note: Great post mommapbs, Even if we could beat the world into our little mold that still wouldn’t save their souls. We need to be proclaimers not protestors; with all the changes we think we can make, we still can’t change a person’s nature. Even perfect environment won’t accomplish that and we can see that by the fact that even after 1000 years of perfect rule in the world, with Christ on the throne, the old sin natures in unregenerate man will still rebel. Rev. 20:7-10 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Try as we may the only way people will change is when God changes them and they become new creatures in Christ. I’m sorry to say but most of these, so called Christian activist, are only whitewashing the devils world! The Bible has the answer to the worlds problems at that is God's Son, the Lord Jesus Christ! My two cents worth. Have a great day, CDBJ |
