“To Get Back Our Nation, We Need To
Do More Than Eat Chicken.”
Congratulations to Mr.Truett Cathy;
the owner of Chick Fil A food chain for taking a Biblical stand on
marriage. I see with the recent news regarding the of “Support Chick Fil A
Day”, many Christians and good people of America responded with a
rousing support of Mr. Cathy's stand for Biblical based marriage and
we all appreciate his willingness to stay the course regarding what
God intended for all of man-kind when it comes to healthy marriage
relationships.
I am pleased as many of you, including
those readers and viewers of my blog articles here in seeing such a
resounding gathering of Americans in taking a stand against the sin
of homosexuality, but I want to confess that I also have a concern
that what was done in terms of supporting “the right thing to do” will
only turn out to be like other events or tragedies we "came together" in America, where people get involved only to dedicate themselves for a cause in a short-term
period or time. I think back to the 911 tragedy where for about one or two weeks
after the planes hit the Twin Towers and we eventually learned that
over 3000 people died during this horrific event, even when we as a people
were stunned, shocked, deeply wounded and even angry but even when
even when people flocked to the churches to seek God for help and divine
intervention, in the end....it was only short-lived and that is what
I see with the problem of a one day “fling” in of support of
anything of “Biblical values”in America today, people don't really seek God for
change.....for their hearts are interested only in removing ache
until matters “go back to normal.”
Oh I know, on the most part, people's
hearts were really for supporting Mr. Cathy's personal stand for
Godly righteousness and that's a great thing but it was all to much
about a heart for religious reprieve rather than repentance and
having a contrite heart for a righteousness God. In fact the whole
day may be looked at like how most people view and attend churches
these days---. Let's face it; going to a Chick Fil A restaurant was
fun, people went when it was convenient, it was entertaining(lots of
people took pictures after all), and it was something people only had
to dedicate themselves to one time and in the end--- didn't have to
make any real commitment to anyone other than the cashier when
purchasing for their food. Please don't be confused, I'm not trying
to compare going to a Chick Fil A restaurant to a church but the sad
fact is that many people in America do think and want churches to be
like a Chick Fil A restaurant... well maybe a Burger King ? You
remember... “you can have it your way at B.K.”
Already people are calling for another
something like a “Support Chick Fil A Day" on our national
Election Day with wanting hoards of people rushing to voting booths
to some how without God in mind nor heart, take our nation back. Do I
believe voting is important ? You bet ya ! But there is much more to
getting our nation back then the support of our favorite candidate at
the voting booth whether he is Biblically grounded or not. What I
mean is this; of the two major American political parties, neither
political party in 2012 is offering a true candidate which reflects
real Christian Biblical values. No one can be honest in telling me
that either Obama nor Romney, hold Christian Biblical values or that
they will not lie now to get votes then later do opposite of their
pledges to follow the Bible. Don't expect also I nor God for that
matter, to simply hold our noses when pulling the voting booth lever
for any ungodly candidate this November. Some of us like Dr. Alan
Keyes will remain loyal to God, not political parties in our
selection for President this year and I hope many Americans will also.
This whole matter of “support Chick
Fil A day” was a great idea that was meant for one day event but a
one day rouse for God and liberty is not enough. This nation and many of
it's government leaders, judiciary and others are corrupted to the
hilt. Sadly and in all honesty, many Americans have joined in with
the corruption but are in to deep of denial to see it. They have
become so accustomed in living a life without Biblical
accountability, they cannot see that although they hate the
corruption from all in Washington DC and all government, they
themselves are also part of the problem. You can only point the
finger at someone in doing wrong only for so long and eventually, we
need to get honest with ourselves and admit our faults and take the
responsibility, that is our share of contribution to the problems and
the mess we are in today.
Evil has run a muck for a long time now
in America and it's “time to pay the piper” for our contributions
of turning our heads away when evil rose up it's ugly head. Such
evil's disguised as “good” have been accepted widely in the USA
among “Christians” and as well even good Americans in our
nation have been too willing in accepting the unbiblical beliefs of
“tolerance”, “political correctness”, “not judging others”,
and worse.... we often compromise our Biblical and moral beliefs just
to “get along.” We are learning the fate of our nation now
because of all the neglect in following the Christian Bible. Taking a
one day stand in doing what's right before God is not enough ! We
must be willing to pick up our cross and carry it daily, not when
it's fun, easy and or convenient. We are losing our nation at an
alarming rate... there is much hard work to do. When there is a
crisis in any nation, a one day labor to get a nation back is and
would never be enough. Look at It this way.... it took our American
Founding Fathers many years of personal sacrifice to make a new
nation...it simply was not “fun, convenient nor easy.” They lost
family members, land, homes, property, even loss of life.
Despite our commendable one day effort
to support one Godly man and his company in choosing to stand up for
Godly righteousness, there is the continued need to turn from from
our wicked ways, to repent ourselves to Jesus and then on to remove those
unrepentant evilists who refuse to change to good....for if wicked
people are not eventually removed, we all will continue to see wicked
men grow and our Godly liberties destroyed even more. That my friend is of
God's design and for now.... Good job for one day's event but now you go seek Jesus Christ and if needed, you repent for what yourself have
been wrongly involved in then go out and get your nation back !

Well said!
ReplyDeleteGOD is number one in my book---
ReplyDeleteWe have all heard about the big noise with "equality of marriage" regarding gays, though gays represent less than 8% of the population. What percentage of the population are fathers? About 50%?
ReplyDeleteShouldn't FATHER'S RIGHTS and EQUALITY be a much more paramount and popular issue?
Shouldn't reforming the biased courts, issuing STANDARD 50% custody, and making support laws truly equal such that mothers share the burden of working while the father is no longer enslaved?
If we are ever going to get the level of media coverage as the chick-fil-a / gay marriage then we must get more active. Write your representatives in government demanding the abolishment of Title IVd money and other government incentives to reward the nefarious collection of support. Write letters to the editor in the newspaper telling your story of how a biased court took your children. Talk about these issues with your friends and neighbors and keep the conversation going and in everyone's consciousness. Help the divorcing father in your neighborhood, when he gets thrown out with nothing; give him some furniture so he can make a home for his children and win his rightful half of custody. Share this page with at least 5 of your friends who have or are experiencing the same mistreatment in the courts... and support other pages FIGHTING FOR EQUAL PARENTING RIGHTS (Our title is "Father's" rights but we support mistreated mothers also.)
