Sing a song of victorious freedom through Christ! Below is the song and lyrics of "My Name is Victory" by The Wilbanks. It is another great marching song for Christians! This song is personal "I", whereas “We are the People of God” song by Carmen is a group marching/dancing tune. Both would be great blasting from floats in parades or wherever people marching together. Let's take back the streets and parades for Jesus! Can you see everyone singing it as a worship song in church or other public spaces with their arms raised in a "V" for victory thanking Jesus? It makes me want to jump up and shout! This should be the anthem for every Christian church to thank God for our freedom and found liberty through Him It could be July 4th fired-up with spiritual fireworks every Sunday!
Riots Are Not Righteous
Rioting is violence, not protest. It is not a righteous act! It is a demonic criminal act - it against the law, therefore not a privilege or a right. When violence is used to further a cause, it is an intimidation tactic of terriorism that seldom works. People do not like to be told what to do or they will face harm. People want blessings, not foul-mouthed cursing and entitlement attitudes. Instead of complying with the evil, they will stand behind those enforcing the law. More will speak out and call for a return to calm, to law and order, and also to Christ to save their nation.
When Honestly Judging Others Is Required
One of the most overused and misused King James scripture is Matthew 7:1 "Judge not, that ye be not judged." It is often used by sinners to make Christians feel guilty for saying something about the wrongness of what they may be doing. (Even though those same sins are listed by God plainly in the Bible, it may be more prudent to pray for them, point them to salvation through Jesus, and to reading scripture rather than trying to change them with self-righteous, angry, or condescending words.) This is not what Jesus meant. He was saying we should not hold others to account for something we ourselves would not be willing to be accountable for. Another way to say it is to apply the golden rule towards everyone first before calling out any preconceptions about right verses wrong.
There are times when judgement must occur, especially if people have been elected to or appointed to be a judge of the law. Judges have a grave responsibility to the law and to the people who come before them, both the innocent and the guilty.
With that judgement responsibility comes accountability to "We the People," the nation's law, and to God. In this world, we will see wise judges and corrupted ones. Corrupt judges who lie, who take bribes, or provide false information to juries will eventually be punished by either the government whose laws they broke or by God when eternal judgement comes. There is no hiding their corruption. Alterternately, their excellence and commitment to the truth will also be seen, accepted, and rewarded.
Wisdom of a Rght Heart for Making Decisions
Hopefully, this post will not offend anyone and that every reader has the patience to read it through before leaving this blog. The biggest decision in the United States is which way to vote, based on what is current policy and past performance, not who is the personality or party. Did you know 40 million Christians do not vote in Presidential elections? Shouldn't Christians vote for national, state, and local leaders who most exemplify the faith, values, and morals of Christians? How can Christinas do that? Check the actual policy on the canidates website and what they say when speaking to decide how it aligns with your belfiefs. Do not rely on celebraties, the news media, or others to tell you the truth about a candidates or party position - do your own research. Compare what you learn about policy to Biblical truths to help you make the righteous decisions, judge properly, and then caste your vote well,
The Bible equates RIGHT as correct wisdom, which comes from reading and following God's Word. The Bible also points to the LEFT path as wrong, foolish, or sinful. So why do politicians, protestors, and press representatives refer to the opposing party as far-right or far-left? By God's standard, aren't they implying the right/conserative-side are even a smarter choice than themselves? Or is the other side saying the left-leaning/liberal party are more sinful? Check for yourself to find policy explanations for future planning to see where their mind is and review the political party's past to see actual actions to know their true heart. Do they follow the Ten Commandmants for the betterment of America or do they fight dirty, ignore citizen rights, and break laws for the devil's delight? There is no true CENTER/moderate in politics! Therefore, Christians must vote with God as their center and for what is most like the core of His righteousness!
The world will try to make Christian believers doubt what is good verses evil, even to the point of changing the basic understanding and traditional meanings of words in the English language. In addition to the words left and right being directional or referencing hand use, dictionaries define them other ways too. Right also means: conforming to justice, law, or morality - in accordane with fact, reason, or proof - fitting, proper, or appropriate - straight, genuine, or real. The other definitions for left is "past tense of leave" or reference to political leaning. So instead, check out the definition for politically liberal, which shows bad and good examples.
or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,
but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who meditates on his law day and night. - Psalm 1:1-2 (NIV)
For a nation to prosper and for its' people to experience success, the spiritual community must respect and follow God's Word. Please vote your faith based on what you believe God wants you to do from what you have learned in His Word, the Holy Bible. To have a blessed nation, Christians must lead the way to victory in elections as well as be a part of leadership. Imagine the difference Christians can make in the USA if you #RegisterToVote and #VoteYourFaith! Please encourgae others to do the same. This is the time for Christians to stand up, be counted, and get heard by government once again.
To the Unwise and the Wicked, Learn!
Those who really want to know the truth, merely need to turn to God for forgiveness and direction. He will show them the wisdom of His ways through His word. He will lead them from wrong to learn the promises and truth that the evil one(s) have tried to keep hidden from them. If they only listen to God, they will trun from evil and win themselves a new life on this earth and a wonderful one in eternity. They will feel His love and understand what is good as well as how to do REAL good - not to fallow falshoods that lead to their pain and the pain of others. They can learn and feel freedom, if they choose to be saved. God is the greatest educator. God's people need to help provide that eduation through example, through open conversations, and in actions.
