We live in a world full of hatred, idolatry, and disease. We need to put our faith in God. We need to bring God back into the schools, court houses, and work places. We need to bring God back into our lives. Our country was formed based on religious ideals. Our forefathers knew that religion, faith in God was important in all aspects of life. Today, we are turning our back on God. We are ignoring the Bible. We show no humility. We show no respect. We disobey God. We do not put any faith in God. God is the reason we are all here. We need to embrace God now more than ever. We are closer to the end times today more so than we were yesterday. I will continue to pray for this country, for the leaders, for the world, for the believers, and for the nonbelievers. May God give us the strength to bring God back into the world. May he open the hearts of the nonbelievers so they too may believe and understand God's love. I will continue to pray for you.

i'd just like to say that i had no part in creating this thread and any ensuing negative impact it has on TSB

3/22/2007 4:12:07 PM

It's been a while since I've heard anyone complaining about idolatry.

Cool.

3/22/2007 4:21:30 PM

I don't have any problem with the sentiment, I have a problem with expressing it publicly, which strikes me as a vain and prideful practice, designed to elevate one's own moral image, which is to say nothing of the fact that it can accomplish nothing but to draw the ire of everyone who sees it.

^^ Really?

So you think.

BLAME TREETWISTA FIRST

I am not trying to be vain. I am not trying to put myself on some sort of pedestal because I do not deserve to be. Part of our problem is we do not express anything publicly. We should not be afraid to publicly express what is in our hearts. People are afraid to offend anyone. Yes, it probably will draw ire from some people. If it sparks some interest in someone's heart then it served a purpose. If it compels someone to ask about God or even go to church than it served a purpose. I know as a Christian that I cannot change anyone or the world. God is the one that changes people. At the same time we are not supposed to be closet Christians.

3/22/2007 4:42:20 PM

So it's time for Christians to come out of the closet?

3/22/2007 4:47:14 PM

I'm an agnostic

but I'm sure most would prefer to think of me as a bible thumping evangelical...whatever you gotta tell yourself

3/22/2007 4:49:24 PM

This thread could use some lions.

3/22/2007 4:58:10 PM

Expressing religious belief publically is great, as long as the government isn't doing it.

What exactly are you asking for?

Sounds like someone has been on the logic train.

God is in his holy temple...earthly thoughts be silent now.

It's late and I can't resist:

Quote :

"We live in a world full of hatred, idolatry, and disease."

We also live in a world full of Christians. The majority of the population are in fact so what does that say about who is the cause of this?

Quote :

"We need to put our faith in God."

Go for it.

Quote :

"We need to bring God back into the schools, court houses, and work places."

Schools - there are already schools for that, courts - hell no, work places - because focusing on their job just isn't enough.

Quote :

"We need to bring God back into our lives."

What makes you think they aren't in our lives already?

Quote :

"Our country was formed based on religious ideals."

Not even close.

Quote :

"Our forefathers knew that religion, faith in God was important in all aspects of life."

Yeah, and?

Quote :

"Today, we are turning our back on God."

If you say so.

Quote :

"We are ignoring the Bible."

Maybe because it is full of contridictions, halftruths and fairy tales.

Quote :

"We show no humility."

Nope, that's just your mom.

Quote :

"We show no respect."

To whom?

Quote :

"We disobey God"

Is he going to send us to our room without supper?

Quote :

"We do not put any faith in God."

Who is this "we" you speak of?

Quote :

"God is the reason we are all here."

Did he tell you that himself?

Quote :

"We need to embrace God now more than ever."

If he embraces back would it squish you?

Quote :

"We are closer to the end times today more so than we were yesterday."

This one has already been covered.

Quote :

"I will continue to pray for this country, for the leaders, for the world, for the believers, and for the nonbelievers."

Then why are you wasting time posting on t-dub? There are 6 billion people on this planet so you'd better get started. What makes other countries not good enough for you to pray for?

Quote :

"May God give us the strength to bring God back into the world."

Why can't he bring himself back into the world? I mean....he's God afterall.

Quote :

"May he open the hearts of the nonbelievers so they too may believe and understand God's love."

Sadly I doubt you see the paradox here.

Quote :

"I will continue to pray for you."

Why don't you go out into the world and do some real good?

3/23/2007 5:22:42 AM
