Last night pastor Cody quoted Ms. Ellen Parsley (World Harvest Church mother
of Rod Parsley) from an altar call she made not long ago..."Your vote is not
about the money (jobs), your vote is about the babies (abortions). If you
voted for a candidate who is pro-abortion then you as a Christian must come
down to the altar and repent because the blood of the babies is on your
hands."
Opened my eyes and made me think of how responsible we are for how we affect
this nation.
Another quote I heard I believe from Chuck Coleson was he quoting statistics
from a poll as to number of Christians "there are over 67,000,000
Christians" and their purpose "what kind of noticeable impact have they
made? Not noticeable"
Scary. My immediate thoughts were --What if we weren't here, it would be a
whole lot worse than it is now!
Now I think that is pretty sad. If we are the salt of this earth that the
Word says we are, we should be (with 67,000,000) making hugely noticeable
impact on this nation/world. I am ashamed of myself for my lack of impact.
Not for bragging rights "look how many I got saved today" no, for not having
the fire, the boldness and the shamelessness needed for Jesus Christ and
going out there and making a change. I have had so many ideas on how to
make changes and what have I done with them? I know those ideas were not
mine they were blessings that I have not used. The way that statistic made
me feel is like I was lukewarm and about to be spit out of the mouth of God.
It is time to make impact. I will be putting this to the forefront of my
lessons in our meetings. I don't know yet how I'll do it but I will pray
and hope that God will give me the words to get these boys up and out and
making impact otherwise there will be a lot more blood on my hands that I
will have to answer for.
I was reading in I think it was Jeremiah 29. God was talking about the sin
he saw and heard and at the end he says "I know it and am a witness to it,"
declares the LORD". That really scared me having the Lord be a witness
against me. I started praying "Lord, let me be the type of person that your
son Jesus can advocate not that you can witness against." There was more,
but that was between he and me.
Don't know why I wrote this, just felt compelled. Hope it blesses someone.
