Land of the Free

Written by Joyce C. Lock


Continued from page 1

If our forefathers could see us now, they'd surely think they'd served and died in vain. The shame that has been brought upon America is heard and seen inrepparttar news and is coming into our neighborhood and homes.

For every occasion we remain silent, indifferent, or divided due to religious differences ... we have nobody to blame but ourselves. It's a myth to expect God's continued blessings when our Christianity is a joke to Him.

Instead of asking God to Bless America, maybe we should be asking why He would. If Christians don't care enough to stand, then why should He? Mt.12:25-30, I Sa. 12:16.

It makes no difference whether in our home, school, church, job, community, state, or country ... wherever God is excluded, Satan has free reign (I Ki. 18:18b). In our land ofrepparttar 132482 free, we have set Satan free.

Is it Love?

When you look down on someone who isn't dressed just right ...

Is it Love?

If you complain when someone takes your seat ...

Is it Love?

When you rush past someone waiting to talk to you, so as not to missrepparttar person going outrepparttar 132480 door ...

Is it Love?

Suppose you seerepparttar 132481 Spirit compelling, but giverepparttar 132482 position to one with more credentials.

Is it Love?

When you're faced with a dilemma of choosing God's will over opposition ...

Is it Love?

When God reveals something to you contrary to man's teachings, yet you keep silent ...

Is it Love?

If you want to know what Jesus Would Do, just ask yourself ...

~ Is it love? ~
