So, if you have read my previous post then you are well aware of my stand as a Christian. However, there is something that has really been bothering me and I just want to get it off my chest and put it out there.

          Do you ever just find yourself lost? I do! I feel like it is a constant battle with where I want to be with God and where I am in the world. In today’s society I find that if you have an opinion, you’re wrong. If you have a Christian opinion, you are a horrible person! Well guess what? I am that horrible human being today! Through the eyes of the world anyway! People seem to forget who made them. I find these days that when the Bible doesn’t suit people’s opinions, they change it! They re-word it or find a verse that they can make sound good when concerning their situation. Well folks, guess what…… You don’t get that honor or privilege! How dare you think you can rewrite God’s word! (Yes, I am aware that man wrote it, but trust me, I’ll take my chances knowing that they weren’t foolish enough to lie about it.) Let me tell you something, if your lifestyle doesn’t match the Bible, you need to spend that time working on yourself, not trying to change the Bible or God!

          You can fight Christians on every view you’d like to, but at the end of the day, if it doesn’t match God’s view, you still lose! One thing you aren’t going to do, is change the mind of God! I’d be foolish to even wish you luck there.

          I see Christians folding to sin everyday by using the “love” verses from the Bible. Yes, we are to love everyone! We are to show compassion to everyone! That does not mean that we can start accepting everyone’s sin as, good or ok. It simply doesn’t work that way!

          You’ve heard that saying, “Two wrongs don’t make a right.” We’ve all heard it. Well it applies here. We have Christians fighting for others all in the name of love. Even when they know that it is wrong in the eyes of God. We have folks fighting for gays to marry and be accepted. They fight that they will have their way and rights over any religious organization or opinion of. We now have folks fighting for gender neutral restrooms in public facilities.  We have folks that commit adultery daily. We have friends that push for affairs or divorce because they don’t think the other person is “good enough”. They think that their friend deserves someone “better”. Even if their friend is married. Or flop to the other side and you have a woman that thinks she is entitled to Mr. Brown, when clearly Mrs. Brown would object to that, as would God! Just because there is a weakness in the marriage, doesn’t give you a right to intrude or walk out! Then say there is another situation, when a man’s daughter is raped and he kills the rapist, people actually cheer for him.

          Meanwhile I am over here screaming and trying not to pull all of my hair out!!

          Yes, you can love sinful people!! I sin, I have friends that sin and some of them I think the world of!! It is our job to love, but what a Christian can’t do is fight for that type of lifestyle or behavior to be made “right” or “accepted”! Why? It’s simple, because, GOD, said it is not! If you as a “Christian” love someone (and we should) that much that you want to fight for them, then fight a worthy battle. Tell them what the Bible says, hit your knees and pray for them. Don’t fight with them if it means going against God! You and them can both go down swinging, but you’ll still be going down. The Bible is very clear on who wins the battle against sin. If I were you, I’d choose more wisely. Real love would want to help that friend out of the pit they are in. You never have to turn your back on them and you never have to go against them. That is not what love or Christianity are about. Be with them, stand by them and help them find their peace with God! That is love too! It may not look the way the world wants it to look, but friends, it is the love of God! Help that gay man/woman up. Help the friend that’s having an affair. Help the friend living in adultery. Help the man who was crushed by his daughter’s wounds. Help the addict who just can’t quit! Help the thief that wasn’t taught better in his/her upbringing! Tell them that God loves them, be there for them. They may not be ready to accept it, if they don’t at least you know you tried! Pray, never stop praying for them! Sometimes, you may find that you are the only one storming heavens gates for them!

          Now, to those of you cheering them on??? Have you lost your minds? Have you forgotten the Bible and the 10 commandments? That God has commanded us to love EVERYONE. There is nothing in there that says, you get a free pass if someone has hurt you or your family. You aren’t going to find that or anything like it in there! It’s not our jobs as Christians to judge or punish others! Do not try taking God’s works into your own hands! No matter what, don’t do it!!

          I realize as humans we can and do get hurt. I am a female who wears every emotion and feeling I have on my shoulders. But, at the end of the day my love for, God and more importantly, His love for me sees me through.

           I am so tired of seeing Christians torn down. I am tired of watching so called Christians fight against the very thing that God says no to! And I am so utterly tired of seeing people, any of them, fighting and all the hate from both sides!!!

          These days everything is either race baited (completely different topic), political, he said she said or its pushing the LGBT movement upon everyone. It’s sad, it really is. Do only select few get opinions these days?

          At the end of the day, I as a Christian have to stand firm. I will fight for Christ and the Bible until the bitter end and trust me, there will be a much more bitter end to all of this! I have two (as of now) children that I have to get to Heaven, along with myself! I do not have time to be politically or worldly correct. I know without a doubt there are many that will oppose everything that I have said, I’m ok with that. The Bible tells us that we have option 1.) We have Jesus and what the Bible tells us or 2.) We have the ways of this world and the lies that Satan puts before us. Believe me when I say this, he has a way of making those lies look so good! I mean a dream come true, nothing could be better appearance. Problem is, it’s a trick and it is certainly not eternal.

          You see, God gives us free will in choosing a path for our life. He gives us free will in choosing our eternity, its then that the choices you made throughout your life will play a role. We have 2 options when it comes to eternity as well. We can choose to live out eternity in the glorious beauty of Heaven with the creator of all things, or we can choose the burning pits of Hell. Your actions and your relationship with God will determine your outcome. I realize that some folks don’t believe either way, but I do. So I’ll be taking my chances.

          I also know that because some Christians oppose others views so harshly, hatefully and in such an unloving manner, that those non-believers would rather jump into a fire pit than feel like they were on a Christian team like that. Good job, Christian’s or so called Christians, you may have just push that one off the cliff! Don’t let Satan use you like that. Think or pray before you speak, ask God to guard your words each day! Love is what we need to be sharing!

          Being a Christian isn’t a job one should take lightly. Loving one another should come easily. If it doesn’t, then you my friend still have some learning to do on what being a Christian really is. Never forget, John 13:34, I give you a new command. Love one another. You must love one another, just as I have loved you.

          It’s easy to get caught up in the world and feel you are fighting a noble cause, but in the end and I do mean, THE END. Where will your battle leave you standing? Will you be standing at the side of Jesus, were you’ll be living eternity in lush vibrant colors with a beauty to unreal to be described, where healing is forever and love is abundant? Or will you and the others you have been fighting for/with be on the side of eternal flames, were pain and agony never end, were you find the one who fooled you all with his smooth talking and lies?

          I’m not here to judge you and that is not how I am trying to make you feel at all. I’m not here to tell you what to do or what to believe and I certainly do NOT want you to think that I believe myself better than you, because I am not. As a matter of a fact, I have my own struggles and sin to fight. I have to ask God more times that I’d like to admit, for his forgiveness. Often for the same exact sins.  Believe it or not, I am here to tell you that I love you. I love you no matter what side you pick and no matter how you choose to love YOUR life. My heartbreaks to see others choose the ways of the world over, God, but I see it daily.

          I know people of all sorts, I could tell you at least one person for every sinful lifestyle that I mentioned earlier. I also know that a lot of them love Jesus, read their Bibles and pray. Many of them are stand up people. I know some personally that are some of the finest people that I have ever had the honor of knowing and meeting. I call them friends, but in the end please know, God’s word will stand! It always has, it always will.

          Let me ask you something, you know Noah, right? Everyone knows the story of Noah’s Ark. Do you think that Noah and his family were the only Christians worth saving? Do you think that they were the only ones that God loved? NO! Of course they weren’t, but God used this tragedy to prove a point and create a new beginning for the rest of us. He doesn’t care for the sinning or corruption; he has proven that. In the end he will still love you, even if you choose a different eternity than he had hoped for. Honestly, I am pretty sure that it is heartbreaking for him to watch.

          Today we still have time to make a choice or make a change. We have time to decide which way to go, which battles to fight and who we want to be fighting for. As for me, I’ll fight for Jesus. I will fight for the eternity of my children. They are mine to fight for!!! This world will corrupt them and snatch them from my grips if I allow it to. I WILL NOT!!!

          And for the unbelievers, if you have read this, you probably think that I am crazy. I am willing to take my chances, because right now, mine look better than yours. I would be thrilled to have you go with me though, there is still time.

          For those of you who oppose my views and always fight for the other side, my prayers are with you. In saying that though, I feel I owe some of you a thank you. Those of you who do fight in the name of love have taught me so much about loving. You have taught me not only to love differently, but view the world differently. It took some time because I still have to stand on my foundation which is God, but at the same time it taught me a better way to love as a Christian. I will never abandon God or his word, but I am thankful that he allowed me to see love in some of you. A love that was different then the love that I started with. It’s a non-judgmental love. It’s also one of the things that I am striving so hard at perfecting. To love more like Jesus, is my goal! I want to live my days without judging everyone for their story!

          My prayers are that you can find love and peace with God. We aren’t offer tomorrow and today could very well be the end. Once again, I ask you to choose wisely. You don’t have to be a completely different person going into the change. God created you, he knows exactly who you are as a person. He knows you better than you know yourself, so don’t be fooled into thinking that he doesn’t. Also, don’t let other people make that choice for you. Not everyone that claims to be a Christian actually is one. Go to God and God alone. Let your decision be based off of Jesus Christ not this world. After all, the Bible says in John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

I can’t save you, your parents can’t save you, your grandparents can’t save you, your pastor can’t save you. We can help you, but ultimately the choice is there for you to make. God isn’t a pushy God, he gives that choice to you and you alone!
