I have a friend who is the real deal gangsta. He has done hard time, he has murdered people, (and is still for hire) he always has contraband on him… and you may say why hang out with this guy? It started because he wanted to save his marriage… and now simply Because I love him and I want him to know Jesus.
WAKE THE FAITH UP
Straight out of the gate, let me be up front- I am tired of people apologizing for doing what Scripture tells us to do, for what Scripture says is right and wrong… I will live, speak and act in love, but I will not worry about the consequences. As I stated last week, I will not be bullied by peer pressure, education, degrees, hollywood, the media, etc… I will love everyone and DO AND SPEAK THE TRUTH IN LOVE.
I was so proud of our country when we elected President Obama. Was I a supporter? No… but I was proud that we climbed that milestone of race in politics at the highest level.
But regardless I prayed for President Obama, I prayed for Bill and Hillary and many other politicians. I don’t agree with them all- in fact very few - but I do what Scripture says to do.
So last week the president goes to a church (pastor’s name is David Platt- he is the real deal, a solid dude) he gets the chance to pray for the president… and 2 days later he has to apologize for offending people. He says “I know that some within our church, for a variety of valid reasons, are hurt that I made this decision,”
That not might strike you as odd… you might be thinking he is just concerned about how it looks and this is wise…
OK… so If he calls out adulterers and fornicators he should then apologize for what scripture says TO DO.
“Hey if there are any guys out there looking at boobies on the internet or messing around with other women outside of marriage… well I hope I didn’t offend anyone for speaking out against that”
So now we have to worry about offending non christians for doing what scripture said… AND NOW WORRY ABOUT OFFENDING CHRISTIANS FOR DOING WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS TO DO.
Let me remind you what 1 Timothy says:
1 Timothy 2:1-2 - I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
You know Jesus was maligned for being with sinners, prostitutes and tax collectors (the then known mafia)
I guess he would have offended people today by being with politicians.
Who are we as Christian men trying to impress? Who do we hold ourselves accountable to?
Gal. 1:10
For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.
Rom. 12:2
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind
CONFORM: Don’t fall into the mindset and pattern of this world…
The world wants to judge
Jesus wants to love
The world wants to argue their rights
Jesus wants to give you freedom from others expectations
The world wants to yell and rebel to prove it’s power
Jesus said empty yourself of your power and I will fill you with real power.
Matthew 11:18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is proved right by her deeds.”
You may actually see me with a murder, a prostitute, a homosexual, a lesbian, a democrat, a gun lover, a crooked politician and a racist cop.
HOW DO I KNOW? because I actually am friends with all these people. But they will tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt I love them.
People are going to judge you- get over it and do what God says to do.
If I had the chance to pray for the president would I? of course… Scripture says to.
When you start to fear man more than God or his word…
You have chosen to worship man… while your at it why don’t you just curtsy…
