U know Doyle I think they threw it out with prayers in school and the ten commandments, it's really sad but it's the last days and really the way things are going nothing would surprise me. God help us all.

MaKelly makes a good point...I think it was Lincoln that said what we teach in the classroom in one generation is the leadership of the nation in the next...or something like that...

Why did God's people build the golden calf while at the very base of the mountain from which God had already spoken to them? Mankind has a way of wandering from God. I see the same pattern in this country that we see throughout the Exodus/desert wanderings of God's people. We're adrift!

LOL  so true!  I'm not saying that what happened in the French Revolution is the answer or the French goverrnment is the answer.  But I heard someone say the other day that the difference between the USA and France is that in the US most people are afraid of their government, but in France the governement is afraid of the people.  Historically that makes since.  I think American's have forgotten that it's supposed to be for the people and By the people.  We've lost sight of the fact we're hiring those people in office for our best interest, not theirs.

You are right. We have left our first love. Not America but the church at large. Most claim to be Christian but few walk the walk. If revival is to begin in America it will begin in the church, His body. may we fall on our faces before God for our country. Pray for the salvation of our leaders. They seem to ignore God until they need him. as a matter of fact the population at large seems to be in the same boat. How about our church leaders where are they in this day. Are they satisfied with large buildings and large congregations without concern for our world at large. Multitudes are hanging in the balances of life and death and we often set on the sidelines without a concern for their lostness. may God forgive our lack of concern for the lostness of our nation and may we return to the God of our fathers, Our Father who is in heaven and in our hearts. May we be energized to finish the job that was started so many years ago-REACHING OUR NATION AN OUR WORLD WITH THE NEWS THAT WILL SET THEM FREE.

It comes down to the "religious" people in the poll living a Christ-like life and loving other people.  We've lost that focus.  Myself included.  We need to get back to caring for each other....bearing each others burdens.

  We know the problems or we think we do!What are we going to do about it?What are you going to do about it?We should not vote for the party but the people that will mirror Jesus values! And if they don't get rid of them!
   Like as Christians we should be against abortion a taking of a child life but we keep voting in people that will have abortion up to the 9 Th month.Just because they are of our party!We must speak up for Jesus!!!
                    What are we todo wake up world God's here and He sees you!!!

Let me ask you something family. If either candidate or one of the larger more prominent preachers, like Joel Osteen said what has been said on this board, what would happen to them? They would be called crazy and told we live in the best country in world.

Many would holla, keep the state and church separated, citing Jefferson and other founding fathers. We cannot have it both ways. Do we really want the church to take the lead? Is that what we are saying here? I am all for it but you and I know, it won't happen.

Evangelist Keith  Wilson
October 09, 2008
Father in Heaven, I come to you now in the mighty name of Jesus asking your forgivness for myself and all those who have put you last or out of the context of all situations, I ask that you would revive us as a people and ask that the "Revival" begans with me! Father we know that the world is in a mess because of the way we have decided to leave you out, and I ask that you would interven in the situations that we are facing today, by placing your mighty hand of Power to all those who clam you as Savior, While I am asking for all of this , I pray as we "seek you first" that you would honor your promise of the things needed would be granted, "NOT FOR US TO FORGET WHO GAVE IT" but to inpower us to continue to serve you. In Jesus name Amen!
Angela
October 09, 2008
Can I just say that it's sad that Joel Olsteen is even considered a prominent preacher, He doesn't even preach the Gospel. He is an ear tickler! This is what I mean by a watered down Gospel! I do agree that it won't happen for many different reasons, which saddens me greatly!but like Evangelist Keith says revival starts in the individual heart!
Carol  Hall
October 09, 2008
Amen and amen, Brother Doyle!
I agree about Joel Osteen, too. While I have heard a few messages from him that touched my spirit, I think for the most part he waters down the Gospel too much and is mainly a motivational-type speaker.
Angela
October 09, 2008
Carol, I'm with ya on him being a great motivational speaker, the only problem is motivation doesn't save people from an eternity of torment! Only the Gospel does that!

 Thank you Brother Keith for the prayer we greatly needed it!!!!!!!!
  Jerry on separation of Church and state is a mirth Jefferson didn't want the Government to be telling the church how to run things like England did.But allot of the Gov. wants to kick Religion out of America the few are telling all how to live!
  Thank you Sister Angela for all you help!
   Carol and Mike all I can say Amen!!!

We need another Moses now, more than ever before, someone that will beg the forgiveness of the Lord for a wayward people, because just as the Lord was about to destroy Isreal for its sins, Moses stood up before the Lord. Exodus 32

 
If we as a people stand in the gap, maybe the Lord will spare this nation. If not, I fear that His hand will strike swiftly, and destroy this nation.
Doyle Crowe
October 09, 2008
Amen Gary!!!
  Who will take a stand???I stand up for Jesus and speak out for the rights of us to be Children of The Most High!I stand up for those who can't!I stand up for the persecuted for Christ! If not we will be persecuted,The devil has came in our back door in America and Church's and we let him.I stand up because if I don't who will?Will you take a stand God is calling can't you hear Him?If you don't take a stand who will?Lets stand up because it's the right thing to do!!!

 Just found out Gov. Tim Kaine of Virgina mandated State Police Chaplains are being told that they are no longer allowed to pray in Jesus 'name and when called about it they said no one complained! People if it happening here it's happening every where!
Doyle Crowe
October 09, 2008
 I also heard that our arm forces Chaplains can't pray in Jesus name either.Our soldiers can fight for freedom of Religion but can't hear a prayer in Jesus name in public what kind of freedom our they fighting for!We need to fight for their freedom!

This country is not the same country it used to be....and not all is bad in it folks. When my brother and sister were children in school, there was prayer...there were also no blacks in the school. Some things change for the worse, some things for the better. Who is to blame....us. It is us, first, in our lives, in our homes, in our churches.....while we sit and argue over the color of carpet in a church or who sits where....there are souls out there dying and going to hell, because of us. That should be our battle cry, first and foremost. The country changes, we get upset....but souls are still dying and going to hell.....and it's not because there's not prayer in school, it's because we aren't fulfilling our duties as christians.
On this post is a comment that saddened me....bashing a pastor....where does that fit in? Have souls been saved due to his message? If so, then why the bashing? Does it unite the body of Christ?
What it all boils down to, in my opinion, is that as Keith said above 'Revival begins in me".....not in blaming anyone or any government that we're under......in fact, I do believe we're supposed to pray for our government.

Doyle, you are right on about get back to the basics. In the beginning of this year I could not get that song out of my head "get back to the basics of life" by Waylon. Finally I realized that the Lord was trying to tell me that we were enering into a season of getting back to the basics. He has really be making me aware of how we waste and teaching me to conserve. All summer I hung my cloths on the line and save about $40 a month on electricity. Not talking about the 3 bills that we cut from our budget. It's a season of pulling back. Us Americans are way out of reality. Thanks for the post.

 Thank you all CindyLou I didn't put this blog on to bash any Preachers, and not the Gov. but we must pray and take action that we are there for the most good and keep God in the process!When I went to school pray was out of school and I got pick on about being a Christian I was called a Jesusfreak and had rock hit me in the mouth.I got in trouble for have a prayer meeting before school at school.
  In 1963the.S. Supreme Court ruled that laws requiring Bible reading in public schools were unconstitutional. A key agitator for this landmark decision was atheist activist Madalyn Murray O'Hair.
  Her son,William Murray, became an evangelical Christian. Mrs. O'Hair sued the Gov. in her sons name to get prayer and Bible out of America schools and won but her son became a Christian. So people please don't bash Preachers they may be doing God work in a different way then we use to!
 Thank you Joey! And dear Prudy I ready to get back to basics putting prayer and Praising God in America again
   Oh CindyLou thank you for keeping me straight and God Bless you!

I was going to leave it at that but I can't. Seriously guys we need to stop with the God is all love and we shouldn't speak against those who water down the Gospel. So I guess if it starts with me and you all hate me than so be it! We need to open our eyes and see our biggest problem as Christians is that we buy into a watered down Gospel and live in a post modern society. Christianity has become nothing but a self righteous, do what you want, become something you're not "religion". It actually makes my head want to explode that people like Joel Osteen and so many others can just go around professing that "the Bible can be interpreted any way you want"if that is what they believe then so be it". Are you kidden me! Cant you see? Christianity is someone who confesses to God that they need Him. Someone who takes the words of JESUS CHRIST seriously when he says in Mat 16:24 If anyone chooses to follow me let him DENY himself, pick up HIS cross and follow me. or how about this one "Not every one who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophecy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles? And then I will declare to them, I never knew you, Depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness. (Matthew 7:21). Jesus Also said  "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it" (Matthew 7:13-14).  We as Christians need to stand against the heracy that is being spewed out by so many! Yes God is loving but He's also Just because He is perfect and Holy we can take one without the other! We need to wake up and stop being wishy washy Christians!!!!!

Sounds like we all need to pray for the leaders of both Canada and the USA. It seems to me that they are more concentrating on what they want instead of what they people want.

My thoughts EXACTLY!!

been saying it for a while
Voice in DC
October 10, 2008
IMHO, we, the church, have given away our power and authority to the government. We have allowed the government to take care of the elderly, educate our children, provide meals to the homebound...it truly has nothing to do with separation of church and state.  It has everything to do with authority in the local community. The constitution was written so that the federal government had very few powers - essentially to defend the nation, regulate interstate commerce, and provide protections for the citizens...I know there is a lot more there, but I am trying to be succinct.  If the church would be the Church, we would provide for the homeless, we would provide for our elderly, we would educate our children and we would demand a smaller government because it wouldn't need all the people and programs to do those things.  That is why the cry is that "if MY people will call on my name and TURN from their wicked ways..." What are those wicked ways? Handing over the power and authority of the church to the federal government.

In other words, let's not put prayer in the schoolhouse. I don't want a government-regulated prayer in the schools. Let's put school in the prayerhouse.  Let's not worry if the ten commandments is hanging in the courthouse. Let's make sure it is hanging in our house, and in our neighbor's house. Then, by logical extension it will be in the courthouse.

voice: exactly......it's about what we do, and it starts with us. And we need to look inward, not outward, first.
Pastor Elam
October 10, 2008
7:13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 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. 7:15Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer [that is made] in this place.

We have become so materialistic and we are seeking God for stuff. I believe Prayer changes things. I believe
that the bible is being fulfilled so a lot of this has to happen.

 Bubbles Thank you Sister!
  Voice Your Right AMEN!!!
 Mike as always Amen!!!
 Jimmie Thank you Bro.
 CindyLou Thank you Little Sister!!!
   CindyLou If I'm reading her right if I'm wrong Cindy tell me I won't get mad.We need to go to God in prayer first and Ask Him what to do,put God
first in all things we do,first ask God to fix us and forgive us our sins,What does He want us to do as Children of God in our homes,states and Nation,But do it with prayer and put the prayer into action when God tells us what to do,But we must go to God first.
   There is allot of bad in the world but there is good.
3:16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

    For God so love you and me He sent His Son not to Condemn the World but save it!So we must pray for ourselves Leaders of our nation and other nations that they seek Him first!
   Pray for our Pastors that they speak in away to put God First to bring us together in praising God and having fellowship with one another and God our Father!

October 10, 2008
Amen Bro Doyle.....we have to look upward first, the inward, thennnnnnnnnnnn outward and ask "Lord, send me".....I believe we all play a part in this mess.....when we as christian turn our eyes to God first, then go seriously deeply into ourselves and clean house (or repent), then we need to ask God where he wants us and be willing ourselves to do it.
My place in this situation right now, is that I can only impact those in my part of this US....am I doing that? I'll give you an example of me....last night I had a non christian neighbor come to my door and bring us food! I was won to the Lord, not by hell fire and brimstone speeches, but by a man who showed God's love to me....same for Ken. I have been showing this person love in the same way.....and last night she brought me food.....and I again, spoke of how good God is....and I believe that she will come to believe. I'm reaching out the way God shows me too....and praying, praying, praying.

October 10, 2008

Cindy I do just luv ya! I'm not sure what you mean by hell fire and brimstone, could you please explain. If you are talking about my comment the hell fire and brimstone your speaking of is the Gospel. I do believe it starts with us and seeing how I walk the walk I have the right to speak the truth in love. So I'm also gonna say this kindness doesn't save people The Gospel does. The Gospel I read in my Bible tells us we are totally depraved sinners, completely helpless without Jesus Christ,I also would like to say that we sinners need to focus on the Great commission. We need to share the TRUTH with the world and not give in to the wishy washy mumbo jumbo feel good post modern, everything excepted, Gospel. The Gospel is offensive, if we dont swallow our pride and figure out we are helpless without God. The Bible is  BLACK AND WHITE It is innerant, infallible and inspired by God. Were either preaching the Gospel Jesus did that crucifies our flesh or we're preaching our own version of the gospel to make it more appealing to someone's flesh. By the way if we are preaching our own Gospel we are giving people a false assurance of Salvation, I for one don't want to be accountable before God for not preaching his word unedited! God Bless All!!

Angela
October 10, 2008

Let me also say if you don't agree with me read the Gospels for yourselves. Christ died on the cross to pay for our sins, as a propitiation for sin and because of that, we totally depraved human beings rely on Christ and only Christ. Also, we must repent of our sins, profess that Jesus is Lord of our life and be thankful that God is not pouring His wrath on us. We are in TOTAL DEBT TO HIM. He is our master we are his SLAVES. . I strongly urge you to read the book of Romans and focus on Ch 8-11.

Gary Robison
October 10, 2008
AMEN, Angela!! I have heard many times that there is good in everyone, but according to the Gospel, there is NO GOOD in everyone, we are depraved in all that we do, but it is the blood of Christ that renews our minds, and circumsises our hearts!

I am with you Doyle, but I am afraid that the only way to change America's course it to change it one heart at a time.  When the righteous rule the people rejoice.  When the wicked rule the people groan.  We are hearing the groans in America and it is our own fault.
