American Evangelicals in the 21st Century...

 

"That was  a great sermon last week Bob."

"Yeah I enjoyed it to Jim."

"Don't be scared, 

over 100 times in the bible, 

thats so powerful.

"Yes it is."

"We are COMMANDED to be 

strong and courageous"

"Yes we are, powerful stuff."

"You packing your piece today?"

"Well yeah, one in the chamber 

and the safety is off 

and the holster is unsnapped

and ready to go yo."

"Me too, service is getting ready to start,

 I'll guess I'll go lock the doors

and take up my position."

The world doesn't hate you 

for your faith

but instead 

for your 

DEMONSTRATED 

lack of not living

what you say

you believe.

HATE ME ALL YOU WANT!

Like I aint used to it by now?

Are you kidding me?

NEWSFLASH:

God talkin:

Revelation  20:5-8

Revelation 21:5-8

5 He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

6 He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7 Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. 8 But the cowardly, 

(Simply put?

THEY WERE LISTED FIRST 

FOR A REASON!

that's what God almighty said!

"the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, 

the sexually immoral..."

(In the context of the book of revelation, since so many preachers I have heard through the years are SO big on understanding "the context" things are written in, sexually immortality here doesn't just imply abnormal sexual relations or sexual relations outside of the marriage covenant, but also to cheating on God 

(church is married to Christ and nothing else

Revelation 19:7) 

with worldly power structures, be they political, economic, governmental etc. Understand why Satan wanted you wed to a particular political ideology now?

Or as the Rasta in me would say:

"Seen"

Understand?)

"those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

I am so glad

when we take communion

where I get my spiritual nourishment

in the liturgy we say:

"We offer our BODIES

as holy and living sacrifices

IN COMMUNION

with Christ sacrifice for us."

If you want it all?

Then you gotta give this existence up.

Your going to anyway.

What better way to go out

than dying for the King of Kings 

and Lord of Lords

(Translation? 

Owner of owners BTW)

who gave it all up for you?

It's put up

or shut up time.

Those who have been giving mere lipservice

about a personal realtionship with their creator?

Those who think that just going to church is going to get them into heaven?

Make them "a good person" ect?

Darkest depths of hell

Jude 19:

Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

Cowards were listed first for a reason.

Thank God you still got some time 

to find yourself a backbone.

And be:

"Strong and courageous."
