Christianity and Politics

I can just hear some of my friends now:"Oh no she didn't!"

Oh yes, she DID!

I am a Christian. I am NOT a politician. I do not have any desire to be a politician. But recently, I was totally inspired by a message by Charles Stanley on the changing tide of America. I will probably reference this message more as I go along, but I wanted to start by introducing myself and telling you what this blog will be about.

My name is Kerri. I am a Bible believing (not thumping) Christian wife and mom. My son will be 4 in less than 2 weeks. {Sigh} I home school. My husband is amazing, strong, full of integrity and character, and is the love of my life, 2nd only to God.

I have a neuromuscular disease called myasthenia gravis. You can read about my life with chronic illness here on my other blog. I cannot physically march in protest, go door to door with petitions, or storm the capitol. But what I can do, I will. I can write.

The trends in America are shocking, to be completely frank. Charles Stanley said, "The government was created to protect us, not to take care of us." Please read that again. The government was created to protect us: our economy, our freedoms, our liberties, our very lives. And they are doing a crappy job.

The God of the Bible does not support our current government, I can promise you that. I am not a Bible scholar, but I am a God-follower, and I believe in the Bible as the total, complete, inspired word of God. I believe there is ONE way to God the Father, and that is through Jesus Christ, His Son. There are not "many paths" that take you to heaven. There is one.

I believe that God can and wants to save everyone. I believe that it grieves Him to see the state that America is in. And I believe He will not withhold his wrath forever.

What this blog is NOT: It is not a sensationalist, conspiracy-theory-touting platform. It is one girl sharing her belief system with the world because someone needs to call foul on the way this country is being run into the ground.

Did you know: As of the 4th of July, 2010, each taxpaying citizen would have to cough up over $118,000 dollars to forgive the national deficit? That we work a full FOUR months out of twelve to pay taxes?

I'm NOT saying don't pay taxes, so call off the dogs.

I think this country has one foot over the threshold of Socialism, and once we go through it, we have sold our souls.

Please stay with me as we discuss how God plays a role in politics, how this country has defaulted from its original reasons for being founded, and what we can do about it.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and God Bless!

  1. I like it! Reading it reminded me of this verse:
    2 Thessalonians 3:10
    For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat."

    So if a man CAN work he should and not expect everyine else to care for him!

  3. I have said the same thing many times that our country is os far from what it was founded for our forfathers would be shocked. I agree Kerri, the people in government need to find way to create more jobs and stop making it hardfor business (small businesses) to survive. Americans need to take a long hard look at their lives and choose God's way. For as you said God will not withhold his wrath forever. Bless you Kerri.
