Pensees

Spent much time over the course of my years in anguish concerning many issues. The most pressing of these issues being my sin contrasted with the holiness of God. I discovered a few startling realities upon seeking God's face. I found that my sin is not really the important issue at all. Jesus Christ died for my sins and my trust in that fact is enough. I noticed that often times I sin on purpose in order to feel anything at all, feeling the shame of my sins honestly feels better than nothing at all. This is bad only becuase as in all instances in our walk it is an indicator of my lack of trust in the Lord. Answer, realize that even my anguish over my lack of faithfulness is me trying to affirm my sovereignty in my life. All I can do is cliche as it may sound to some is constantly, daily hourly, by the min. give my all to Jesus.
It seems to me that we as Christians also do not understand fully what it means to be a Christian. What I mean is that we tend to look at things in a fragmentary manner, instead of as a whole. We look at the War in Iraq as bad, the break down of the family as bad and "Tolerance" as bad. We see God as Creator of heaven and earth, Jesus as Redeemer, and the Holy Spirit as living in our hearts. What we all seem to fail to apply, is these facts, to the whole of reality. If Christianity is true that means it is the only relevent Worldview. It means there are really only two ways to look at life. One is from the Humanistic perspective, the other Through the lens of Scripture. We must see Gods providence in every moment, contrasted with man's rebellion. There is in fact a great unbridgable chasm between the two. There is only one form of goverment ever to reflect the true nature of life accuretly, the kind based of off a Judeo-Christian tradition. Only in Christianity can there be a LEX REX form of goverment that does not have a sujective base, only in Christianity is man fully man. If you take the thinking behind abortion and follow it to it's logical conclusion you find life loses all value, if you trace Neo-Darwinism and trace it back to it's logical base you find it never has had value. In such a world who can fault Adolf Hitler or call Him unjust? Who is there to distinguish between right and wrong? Other than the powerful. Democracy fails to be democracy when conquest for democracy becomes tyranny to the "liberated". We cannot set up democracy in a Goverment without a Judeo-Christian backing becuase it will ultimately turn to a dictatorship. Those of us in America will soon learn if we have not already, that to free yourself from the shackles of the Divine is to bind yourself to the natural and and Carnal. In the name of freedom we are being stripped of every right we once held dear... and why? Becuase we have taken God out of all life and are now finding the only available replacement on the market is man. We as Christians need to see Christianity as TRUE to all of life. We need to act as if it is true in all aspects and fight on all the fronts at once. Political, Theological, Philosophical, and Sociological, as well, realize the Spiritual implications of such a War.
