Independence Day

In a few days, we will be celebrating the birth of the United States of America. Men and women have fought and died for the freedoms that we enjoy. Contrary to popular belief, the Founding Fathers of this nation founded it upon Christian Principles.

You can find quote upon quote by searching Google. The mention of God was not something to be ashamed of then and even today, should not be ashamed of. Jesus said, "If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you." Who wants Jesus to be ashamed of them?

The freedoms we enjoy right now are under attack. The enemy has come in like a lion seeking whom he may devour. The passing of laws that legalize sin will destroy a nation. Not only laws but idols also.

This nation is on a downward spiral but those whose hope is in the Lord Jesus Christ, will be spared from the wrath to come. Judgment has come to the USA. We have been found lacking. Repent now before it is too late. Let the Lord Jesus Christ save you from your sins and the death that comes, for the wages of sin is death.

I know many will not read through all of this without rolling their eyes. Some will think I am full of delusion but that's OK. I still love you but even more importantly, Jesus loves you.

As the preacher said a few days ago, first there is the lie. At first the lie feels good but eventually, you want to get away from it. The person who believes the lie, will fall deeper and deeper into sin.

Finally, no matter what someone might say, no one wants to hear those three words at the judgment seat of God, "Depart from me." Hell is not a party place but I am positive many are praying there and seeking repentance but finding none. Once there, it is too late.

Just as the rich man lifted up his eyes in hell, many others will be there before you finish reading this. He wanted Abraham to send Lazarus back to warn his brothers to not come there. Abraham proclaimed that even though one would come back from the dead, they would not believe it. Jesus Christ proved it. He is the first and the last.
