Why Me?

First, I want to thank everyone for their congratulations and well wishes on my recent Ordination as a Minister. This was not something I expected or aimed for when I started my blog, My only intention was to spread God's word and inspire people through Him. Thank you to all those who have helped me make my mark in the world, and I intend to influence this world as much as I can, in the way that God commands us all.

I think this calls for a topic that relates to me strongly. Too many people convince themselves that they are not worthy of being saved. They ask, "Why me? Why would God care about me? I'm just a regular person." The truth is, we all are just regular people, regardless of status. But, through God, we are made for greatness.

Look at Moses, he was just an uncharismatic shepherd, but through God, he freed the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. Look at David, a servant of Saul, who struck down the giant Goliath with a single stone. These men were not born as princes or sons of wealthy officials, they were just regular men at a disadvantage, whether that be physical or social standing. God called on them and they answered the call. They trusted the Lord to provide for their needs, and the Lord blessed them.

God does not see physical abnormalities, social status, skin tones, or gender. He sees his children. We may make mistakes, sin against others, or break His commandments, but He still and always will love us. As long as we live our lives through Him, He will always be there to power us into doing what we previously thought impossible. Accepting Jesus into our hearts allows us to tap into the greatness He provides. It doesn't matter how ordinary we think of ourselves as being. To the Lord, we are his precious and non replaceable children. Do not think of what you can not do, think of what you can do. God gives us all a purpose and the power to do that purpose. What can you do to serve God best?

God and Country

I read an article earlier that just burned me. Not really as in anger, but in sheer disbelief as to how far society has fallen, and how blurry the line between good and evil has become. A religious watchdog group has complained to a Denver Army hospital to remove a cross and motto from their emblem, in fear that it may offend our enemies in the middle east. According to the Obama administration, "The war on terror is not a war on Islam." "We are not a Christian nation." I'm getting the urge to throw water into their face and yell at them to wake up. Our enemies don't want a hug, they want us dead. That may sound blunt, but it is the truth. Despite if people want to believe it or not, This IS a Christian nation and we are at war. We fight in this war to protect all freedoms, including the freedom they use to speak out against us.

The atheists love to preach how intolerant we Christians are. Yet, they are the ones who want every and all traces of God removed from society. Is that tolerance? Because to me, they sound like hypocrites. They also love to cite the constitution, which states:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
Removing God from society is prohibiting free exercise from practicing our faith, when our traditions get attacked because 1/100th of the population might be offended. Our traditions have been in place for hundreds of years, kept in place because our founding fathers were Christians just like us. The far left tries to tell us that the State acknowledging Christianity is unconstitutional. The founding fathers meant that the State will not officially adopt one religion and prohibit any other religions. To my knowledge, that amendment has never been discarded. If anything, the current administration seems to support Islam more than it does Christianity.

Most government officials were Christians, as well as most citizens at that time. Why should we lose our traditions just because a few atheists are so insecure in their beliefs, that they can't stand seeing God in society? If they don't believe in God, why do they make such a fuss over Him? It could be that deep down inside they feel guilty, and don't want reminders of their sins. Sometimes they need a push in the right direction. Don't get me wrong, they infuriate me at times, but deep down they are human beings. What is one theme in the Bible? Anyone can be saved if they wish to be. Pray for them. Never give up on good, it will always prevail over evil in the end.
