Wake Up America He's Not Christian

Ron Graham / Rapture Ready

“Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:”1 Peter 1:22. What constitutes a Christian? Belief! Belief in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. What constitutes love for the brethren? What is unfeigned love? Unfeigned love is sincere love, undisguised. There should be no doubt when it comes to our love for our brothers and sisters in Christ. Certainly opposition to our way of life is coming and it’s coming like a runaway locomotive. But when that opposition comes from a professing Christian the rest of us should be very suspicious of that person.

Becoming a Christian is a life changing event which every born again believer in Christ has experienced. When we become born again, born from above, from God, the one thing we want most in this life is to please our Father in Heaven. Pleasing God is not difficult. Follow His precepts, His breathed words which make up His Scriptures. God will always be pleased with us when we keep His word. Yes, occasionally we all mess up, but He already we knew that. He knows we are going to make a mistake or two along the road of life. On the other hand, standing in full opposition to every single one of God’s rules says to God you don’t care about Him or His rules.

Let’s say for argument sake you don’t care about God, how then can you claim kinship with Him? Standing firm against God is blatant opposition and rebellion. Why would anyone claim to be a Christian while remaining steadfastly opposed to everything we stand for? Could there be a demonic purpose behind such an attitude? Christians, that is true Christians, are God’s children. Our only agenda is to do His will. Being born again means just that, we are not the same person that came out of our mother’s womb, we’ve been transformed into the likeness of God’s Son. The things we lived for, the things we were infatuated with, the things that drew the brunt of our attention have also changed. Now that God is our Father we are much more inclined to be drawn to Him and the things that He has prescribed as most beneficial to us through His word.

You might have noticed that there are many professing Christians that don’t give a hoot about God’s word; they don’t give God the glory for the many blessings that they’ve received throughout their lives. Many Christians pay God little notice and many more see Him as an invisible entity that will only become relevant upon their death. But the truly born again are of a very different mindset. God is the most important part of our lives; He comes first, even before our families.

Across this country we have a great number of professing Christians. Many stand firm on their faith in Jesus Christ. Many will not waiver when it comes to living their life in accordance to what they know to be the truth and God’s will. There are many Christians who know that remaining strong in their faith might well bring severe retribution from the non-believing world that surrounds them. If you live in the US of A and you are at least 40 years old you might want to take notice that you no longer live in your parent’s world. This country has morphed into a country that no longer recognizes the rights of the individual. We are heading full steam into the unthinkable world of totalitarianism. To my fellow Christian brethren, you must know by now that the man who occupy’s the White House is not your brother in Christ.

“Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.”Matthew 7:1-2. We aren’t to be afraid of this verse because it is actually referring to condemnation. As Christians we should not be condemning but loving. There is another verse that is conveniently omitted when someone wants to beat us over the head with judge not. “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.” John 7:24. The Greek word for judge is “krino” and it means “to call into question”. Calling into question is exactly what Jesus means when He says “judge with righteous judgment”. We are to call into question the unbiblical actions of an individual or individuals and discern for ourselves whether or not to follow such persons. This is something that is sorely lacking in our Christian community. Everyone seems to be afraid of being accused of judging others. When that verse out of Matthew chapter 7 is used it is always in relationship to someone condemning someone else, and like I said, Christians aren’t to condemn but we are to call into question the actions of others and use righteous biblical discernment to do so. We are the righteous, the “called out” of God. Therefore if we don’t open our mouths in righteous judgment who will?

Here’s the truth of the matter, if you are an Obama supporter you are also a supporter of abortion – worldwide. If you are an Obama supporter you are a full-fledged supporter of the homosexual agenda in this country. Whether or not you agree with my stance is inconsequential, it’s God’s stance on the issues that concerns me and that is where I take my stand using biblical discernment.

If we look at the world through the lens of the Bible we can navigate much more responsibly our lives here on earth. Using God’s word asour guide through life isn’t something we should ever take lightly.
