God Save America

2 Chronicles 7:14

"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

In that Old Testament verse, the Lord lays out the ultimate prescription for America. Political parties will not stop the downward spiral that our society is caught in. No institute of man can stop, much less slow down this downbound train. In the book of Psalms (127:1) we read that "Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain." If the Lord is not at the foundation of any movement to right our beloved nation, any effort will be labouring in vain. We must start with fervent prayer for God to show our country mercy and for Christ's own people to stand up and make a difference. We flout the Law of God daily, with 1.8 million abortions annually, we are awash in the blood of our youth. If the Lord heard the cries of Abel's blood (Genesis 4:10), how loud the crying must be with 47 million (and counting) unborn lives lost to the holocaust of abortion. With states approval of "civil unions" and gay marriage, we are ignoring the family structure that God himself designed. With a culture full of the "porn lifestyle" and "if it feels good, do it" , we worship at the altar of sexual impropriety daily. God will not bless our America until we, as a people, turn to him. We need to continue to pray for mercy. We also need to stand up and take action to spread the Gospel of Christ to every person, off every street corner, in every land. Finally, we need to stand up for the morality of the Holy Bible. Anything less is a dereliction of our duty as Christians. When you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, you are purchased with a price. Jesus went to the Cross and made the ultimate sacrifice so that you can live. There is absolutely no way for us to earn our position in God's family. Our own riteousness is as filthy rags. We can and must, however, spread the gospel and stand up for what is right. It is our duty.

2007, a new year, a new mission.

The election is long past. The celebrations are over. It is now time for Maine taxpayers to strap in and hold on. There will be no moving in the cabin while in flight. We will arrive soon. It's "Destination Socialism" for all on board. The 2007 legislative session promises to bring more re-distribution of the "wealth", more state funding of abortions, more spending on stem-cell research, more funding of the socialized Dirigo health care plan, more "tax breaks" to keep our college graduates in Maine......Need I go on? It is very obvious that Maine is rapidly moving from a blue state to a green/red state (commonly referred to as a "Watermelon" state where we outwardly are green environmentalists but inwardly red socialists). Am I over reacting? Judge for yourself.
Here are some of the bond issues that have already been proposed (curteosy of the Maine Jeremiah Project):

• An act to provide equity in funding for women's health services (which provides for free abortions). Submitted by President Edmonds.
• An act authorizing a general fund bond issue to promote stem cell research. Sponsored by Senator Strimling.

This is a list of bills that are being referred to various committees:

• An act to support the creative economy effort.
• An act to promote compassion in school children.
• A resolve to evaluate parenting education and to develop parenting resources in Maine High Schools.
• An act to encourage the elderly to stay at home for care.

The state is taking over. While the wallets of those of us who are gainfully employed and/or property owners hemorrhage cash into the Maine government vacuum, our moral compass turns closer to true south. Taxpayers may be coerced into supporting abortions and stem cell research ( both of which destroy innocent human life). We may also be forced to shell out for our nanny government to play the part of parent and pastor in telling our youngsters how to be compassionate and how to raise their children. As with every session, we will be forced to purchase more and more land for "conservation", further limiting potential economic growth. There will be more easements, tying the hands of property owners from Kittery to Fort Kent. There will be the continued effort to prop up the disastrous Dirigo health care plan. Things look bleak, but there is always hope.

Our mission should be to look true north, to our Lord and Savior. Much prayer is needed. Maine is not a lost cause, despite the continued socialization of the state. There are groups working hard to look out f0r the best interests of Maine. The Christian Civic League of Maine, Concerned Women for America of Maine, The Maine Right to Life, The Maine Jeremiah Project....These are all groups worthy of our support. If we hit our knees and pray and work together, we can make a difference.

Shootings will continue until we acknowledge God again

It is so obvious that something evil has penetrated our country's schools. There have now been three school shootings in the last week. Suicide rates are on the rise. Our kids are in trouble. "What is missing?" You may ask. The answer is simple.........God. America has eliminated the God of the Bible from all of public life including the school systems. Yahweh has been replaced with the god (little "g") of secular humanism. It is obvious that ever since evolution took the Supreme Creator out of the picture, the moral slide began. Look at us now:abortion, the murder of innocent human preborn children, is not only legal, it is celebrated; homosexuality has now been "normalized", with "scientific proof" that it is a physical condition (instead of the lifestyle choice it is); married men and women cheat on their spouses with little or no remorse. Why, after all, should we try to be "good" if we are nothing more than evolved apes. If we tend be bad, it is just in our genes. It wouldn't matter if there were no higher power to hold us ultimately accountable. "If it feels good......do it."
We need to bring God back into public life. I am not talking of a general god, appealing to those of "all faiths". I am talking about the God of the Bible. Faith in Jesus Christ is the only hope for a lost and dying world. America will continue to slide further into the cultural morass as long as Jesus is pushed aside.

It is time for America to Repent of the sin of abortion

How much longer, O Lord, will you hold your wrath from us. As a people, we are guilty of so many sins. The greatest of which is the murder of millions of your little ones. We have, under the guise of "reproductive rights" and "freedom of choice", equated innocent human life with the trash we dispose of every day. Oh, some would wish that we would "recycle" that "trash" with embryonic stem-cell research, but "trash" it is still. Lord, there are still seeds of the remnant which are trying to turn America back to you, but there is so much apathy. How many "middle of the road" people walk through life without even thinking of the evil that is taking place on a daily basis. How much worse can it get? Here in Maine we even have a case of two parents kidnapping their daughter to force her to have an abortion. According to the lawyer, the parents "can't believe how this turned out". The parents are so backwards that they don't think that they committed a crime. According to their lawyer "All they've done is love this girl and try to support her, although she has had multiple problems." The multiple problems in this case, however are the parents, themselves. They, in the name of love(?), kidnapped their daughter in order that she kill her unborn baby. Abortion advocates will condemn the kidnapping part, but they will argue that all baby killing procedures should be available in Maine. Lord, I know that the solution to this problem can only be found in you, Jesus Christ. I pray, Father, that the people of Maine, and the people of America will turn to you, and turn away from the world, and the sin of abortion. Without you, Jesus, the world is doomed to an eternal reward of hell and death. I pray that the Christians, not only in Maine, but in all the world, will double their efforts to bring people to Christ. Lord, please energize the docile element of our faith to get off the couch and win the lost to you. Energize me that I will lead my family to be "fishers of men". For it is only with you, Lord Jesus, that salvation can be found, and we know that if we turn to you, you will heal our land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)
Lord, I thank you for all the blessings you have given my family and all of America.
In the name of Jesus Christ I pray.
Amen
