Unholy Christianity

Since the escalation of Islamic terrorism, we have often heard that true Muslims do not believe in violence. Why then didn’t so-called moderate Muslims stand up and condemn the atrocities that their radical brothers perpetrated? It has been rare indeed to find an Islamic spiritual leader who will point to passages in the Koran and say publicly that those who practice hate are not true Muslims.

Now we Christians are faced with a similar situation. We have so-called Christians in the news doing things that are completely contrary to the teachings of the Bible, and especially of the Lord Jesus Christ.

What about the Hutaree Christian militia group that planned to kill policemen in the hope that their rebellion would bring down the government. Are they Christian just because they say they are, when everything they stand for is contrary to the teachings of the Prince of Peace?

And what could be a worse representation of Christianity than the hateful picketing and heckling of the perverse Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Church at the funerals of servicemen who have died protecting their countrymen?

Here is just one of many places in the Bible that show that these are false Christians:

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. – 1 John 4:7-12 (NIV)

Christians everywhere need to rise up and condemn these hateful misrepresentations of our faith. Christian leaders must take a stand against these and other unbiblical practices. If we don’t, we will deserve the persecution that the media and the Devil want to bring against us.

Is There a Prayer for Congress?

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

As debate on the healthcare bill comes to a head, most Americans are appalled at the corruption we observe in the process. Some of our congressmen are acting like barbarians. A couple of weeks ago Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, compared people who oppose health care reform to those who supported slavery in the 19th century. Last week Senator Al Franken denied the normal privilege of a couple more minutes for Senator Joe Lieberman to finish his remarks. Senator John McCain said he had never seen such behavior in the Senate. And this weekend Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn said, “What the American people ought to pray is that somebody can’t make the vote tonight.”

And now the unpopular, unread bill will go back to the House of Representatives for more drama and embarrassment.

In Fiddler on the Roof, the Rabbi was asked, “Is there a proper blessing for the Czar?” To the oppressed Jews this was nearly unthinkable. But the witty Rabbi said, “A blessing for the Czar? Of course. May God bless and keep the Czar … far away from us!”

The Apostle Paul taught us that we should indeed pray for our governmental leaders. Paul lived under the cruel and godless reign of the Roman Emperor Nero. Yet, by the prompting of the Holy Spirit, he gave us this advice:
I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone- for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
– 1 Timothy 2:1-4

When we’re frustrated with our government we should call their offices or send them Email. But we should also remember to pray for them. Right now it would take a miracle for them to make the right decision, but then, that’s what prayer is all about, isn’t it?
