Faith Farm

Just my thoughts

Good Morning Everyone!  I hope this finds you well today.  It is a quiet morning here on the farm and I felt like blogging a bit.  I have some things on my mind this morning and not all of them are politically correct so if you continue to read this it is your choice because this is my opinions only.

I have been hearing and reading so much about how Christians are intolerant and hateful.  Yes, I know it's the times we live in.  However instead of these comments making me mad they actually give me some hope.  Here is how I got there.  That tells me that there are true Bible believing Christians out there who are not going to 'go with the flow' and accept things that are not right.  Everyone says: who are you to judge what is right or wrong? and the point is it is not individuals who are saying what is right or wrong.  The Bible does.  The Word of God.   AND there are those who are willing to stand up for what they know to be true....and that gives me hope.  So in this day of compomise and tolerance and liberal points of view I am pleased to see true Bible believing conservatives (you know the "intolerant haters") standing up and being heard.  Because folks---it's not ok.  I heard someone say last night.....'It's not ok to make this world a better place to go to hell from".  The irony in that cracked me up.  The truth is if we really do care about the people of this world we will stand up for what is right and we will help those who have been lead astray...not by tolerance but with love for our fellow brothers and sisters eternal souls.  This is not done by accepting and tolerating what we know to be wrong.  This is done by what we know to be right.  Who would have ever thought that the Bible in the US would become too radical to follow!  One of our own presidential candidates said: the Sermon on the Mount - a passage that is so radical that it's doubtful that our own Defense Department would survive its application?   and then used the same passage to justify civil unions.  It boggles the mind.  Don't get me wrong---I'm not trying to get political here....I think both candidates are far from being a true conservative candidate.  And for the first time in my voting history I feel like I don't have a candidate or a good choice.  That's not a good thing.  The point I am failing to get at is just this:  We live in a dangerous time---right is wrong and wrong is right---Don't go blindly into what the world is doing.  Question and search the bible for what is right.  What your neighbor or politician or friend thinks is not going to matter in the end.  And to coin my DH favorite phrase "That's between you and God."  Be prepared---Read your Bible daily---don't be deceived.  Thank you for reading this and I pray God gives us all the strength and wisdom we need to do what is right and to live in this time.  Blessings>faithfarm

I couldn't agree more! This things have been on my mind a lot lately and it's nice to hear someone else voice them (cause I'm too chicken LOL).

God Bless!

Everything that you wrote is SO TRUE! I do believe that we are closer to Jesus than ever before. Having experienced first hand this past week of being told that I have to "tolerate" people. There is no right or wrong. Well, there is a right and a wrong and it comes from knowing Christ and reading The Word to keep from being deceived.

Thanks for the post! I really enjoy reading your blog and am glad that you are back.

Have a blessed day in The Lord!
