THE GOOD GUYS


     I am first, a Christian. However, I am also a Patriot. With the world in complete and total chaos, the two are in constant conflict with each other inside of me. America has absolutely run amuck. Habakkuk 1:2-4 speaks loud and clear to us today [1].

    O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!

    Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.

    Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.

     Government corruption fills pages and pages of headlines.

    • 17 trillion dollar debt
    • 1.2 yearly deficit
    • Four and half years without budget
    • 36 Marxist czars in the White House
    • Benghazi (Treasonous)
    • Libya (Treasonous)
    • Fast and Furious
    • Open boarders
    • President “Kill List”
    • NDAA (Killing the 4th, 5th, 6th Amendment and Habeas Corpus)
    • Gun control (Killing the 2nd Amendment)
    • Voter Fraud
    • Redistribution
    • Disdain for the Constitution
    • Nationalization of Mortgage companies, banks, auto industry, schools, and health care system (Mandatory Healthcare, killing the 9th and 10th Amendment.
    • Bypassing Congress by fiat and while in session.
    • Etc, etc, etc. Too numerous to list.

     Take your pick; we are in a contrived socialistic mess. The government has so overwhelmed the electorate that all we can see is the enemies plan. However, we have all read the end of the Bible, and we know what is coming. Consequently, it’s time to take our eyes off of the enemies plan and start focusing on God.

     If there is ever to be a revival, we all need to forget about the enemies plan and start reaching for God. There is nothing wrong with knowing about the enemies plan so we can prepare ourselves for what is to come, and that would be prudent. Nevertheless, our focus should be on Christ and fulfilling the great commission [2] – because the fields are white unto salvation [3].

     People are hungry for hope, purpose, and something in which to believe. They are looking at all the corruption and evil that abounds in today’s world, and are saying, “There’s got to be something better. Who can save us from all the chaos?” There is no hope unless we return to Christ. If we do not get them into the kingdom, the enemy will get them into his.

     Roma Downey pretty much summed up the gist of this blog when she said on Hannity of Fox News 3/27/2013, “There’s allot of good guys out there, and all the bad news gets all the news. I feel we need to make more noise for the good guys.” Roma is a Christian actress and stars in the new series “The Bible.”
