Defiance or Repentance

We must quickly come to the understanding that we are all sinners and have fallen short of the glory of God. There must be a call for personal repentance, moving us away from defiance. As a nation and as individuals we have succumb to "TOLERANCES OF HELL", we have become tolerant of all religions, beliefs, and ideologies. The fact is tolerance is of the devil and will only lead all to hell.

I do not pretend through repentance you are perfect and deserving of God's Grace and Mercy, both of which we are not worthy of, however, through Christ's death, burial and ressurection the price has been paid in full, the debt is rescinded. As individuals we must understand God loves us, and wants us to have a repentive mind. Let's look at 2 Peter 8-9;

  • But, beloved, do not forget this one thing , that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

We can read in the above scripture: God is longsuffering and wants no one to perish, AND, wants all to come to repentance. Beloved, God does not declare each of us to come to perfection, but only to repentance. Beloved, God does not want to destroy you for you sins, He has allowed for your redemption through the death, burial and ressurection of His Son, Jesus Christ.

  • Homosexuality = Sinner
  • Lust= Sinner
  • Adultury= Sinner
  • Gossip= Sinner
  • Pride= Sinner
  • Lieing= Sinner
  • Fornication= Sinner
  • Masturbation= Sinner
  • Pornagraphy= Sinner

I cannot list all the sins here, the Blog would need to be 5' long, the fact is WE ALL are sinners and must repent. Please, Jesus loves you beloved, and has paid for your sins in full, allow him to come into your life and enjoy the peace and mercy of a loving caring God. You can be in defiance and continue to deny the reality of your sins, or you can come to truth and repent of your sins and be filled with the Holy Spirit, a renewed person.

Let's see what Benjamin Franklin Butler (1795-1858) U.S Attorney General (1833-1838)

  • He is truly happy, whatever may be his temporal condition, who can call God his Father in the full assurance of faith and hope. And amid all his trials, conflicts, and doubts, the feeblist Christian is still comparatively happy; because cheered by hope...that the hour is coming when he shall be delivered from " this body of sin and death" and in the vision of the Redeemer...approximate to the ...felicity of angels. Not only does the Bible inculcate, with sanctions of the highest import, a system of the purest morality, but in the person and character of our Blessed Savior it exhibits a tangible illustration of that system. In Him we have set before us-what, till the publication of the Gospel, the world had never seen- a model of feeling and action, adapted to all times, places, and circumstances; and combining so much of wisdom, benevolence, and holiness, that none can fathom its sublimity; and yet, presented in a form so simple, that even a child may be made to understand and taught to love it.

The founders and greatest statesman where not perfect men, however, they were perfected in the fear of the Lord. The forefather's feared the Lord, they BELIEVED the fact that "sin" leads to death and in understanding that they established the greatest gentile nation in the world, past or present.

The "today's" man does not fear the Lord thus does not understand the need for repentance, we are sinners, each and everyone of us and we must fear the Lord, holding ourselves to a repentive heart (mind). As the forefather's were not pefect, neither are we today, yet, they repented, and we defy. Death comes to us both, the repenter and the defier.

What we are really missing!!

I would like to take each of you on a journey into the past, a past which prompted a future full of phenomenal success wonder and greatness, a future which established the greatest country too have ever existed. The journey begins with some of our founding fathers convictions;

  • "It cannot be emphasized too clearly and too often that this nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religion, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ." (attributed to Patrick Henry, governor of Virginia)
  • "Principally and first of all, I give and recommend my soul into the hands of God that gave it: and my body I recommend to the earth...nothing doubting but at the general resurrection I shall receive the same again by the mercy and power of God." (John Hancock)
  • "Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation, to select and prefer Christians for their rulers." (John Jay, First Chief Justice)
  • "...to the supreme head of the universe-to that great and tremendous Jehovah-Who created the universal frame of nature, worlds, and systems in number infinite...To this awfully sublime Being do I resign my spirit with unlimited confidence of His mercy and protection." (Henry Knox, Revolutionary War General)
  • "Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime and pure...are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments." (Charles Carroll, signer of declaration of Independence)
  • "My only hope of salvation is in the infinite, transcendent love of God manifested to the world by the death of His Son upon the cross. Nothing but His blood will wash away my sins. I rely exclusively upon it. Come, Lord Jesus! Come quickly!" (Benjamin Rush, signer of the Declaration of Independence)
  • "WE RECOGNIZE NO SOVEREIGN BUT GOD, AND NO KING BUT JESUS!" (John Hancock and John Adams)

The above quotes taken from the "The American Patriots Bible" which was recently published and generally edited by Dr. Richard G Lee. I highly recommend this Bible for an insight into the past and founding of this great country. The above men adorned a sovereign God, and understood a great country needed a great foundation, and relied on the Gospel and Jesus Christ to create the greatest gentile nation the world has ever known. The amazing fact is these were not pastors, preachers, or Biblical scholars, these were everyday men who understood the act of repentance, salvation, and prayer, and without the Grace and Mercy of God they were nothing and would establish nothing.

In looking at today's men and women who encompass the federal governments senate, congress military and even white house we can see a huge difference in the mindset. In looking at our political landscape today it is not about a gospel or a God, it's about selfish elitist philosophies which are detrimental to the fabric of this great country. We are so far removed from our original founders mindset and beliefs it's no wonder our country is on the brink of being destroyed by socialist Marxist zealots.

They serve no god but themselves and it is evident in our country today. It's self evident that America has turned away from God and He has removed His Grace and Mercy. The country needs a leader that will call upon us to repent, pray, and edify the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob, the begotten father of Jesus Christ.
