GOD will help

It's hard not to talk about the hottest topic going today, Duck Dynasty and the controversy over Phil speaking the truth of the Bible. It absolutely amazes me that people can talk about anything vile and evil and it is freedom of speech. But, if a Christian says anything about sin, they are hatemongers. It is absurd.

Now, I will not condemn anyone. I do not have the right or the power; that is GOD'S and GOD'S ALONE. But, that doesn't change the fact that GOD'S Word clearly defines sin and sinful behavior. Yes, it speaks of my sins too. When I sin, I have choices - I can either continue to sin and be against GOD or I can choose to let GOD change me by asking forgiveness and turning from that sin. You can hate all you want but GOD has standards.

Anyway, I find it very difficult to understand why it is freedom of speech for everyone except the Christian. Why is everyone screaming discrimination and hate speech when it is the Christian that is discriminated against and hated? It seems that everyone has freedom except those who are truly free.

Today's word is from Isaiah 41:43 to encourage us that we are not alone. It reads, "For I am the LORD, your GOD, Who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, 'Do not fear, I will help you.'"

Look, for as long as this world has stood and for as long as GOD continues to allow it to stand, there will be those unfriendly towards Christians and the Christian faith. We need not be surprised because JESUS told us not to be. He reminded us to not be surprised when people hate us for our Christianity because they hated Him first. People will ALWAYS hate, which is NEVER right. Unless, it seems, that the hatred is aimed at Christians.

Be Blessed,
