to Those Who Want a Godless World:"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>So the rulers and influencers of the world system want to eliminate Christianity.\u00a0 They want to force us to accept homosexuality and other anti-Christian beliefs and practices.\u00a0 Further, they want removed from society every vestige of Christianity: nativity scenes, the Ten Commandments, etc.\u00a0 By forcing their agenda on Christians, they hope to convince the majority of Christians that it is not worth bothering to defend their profession of faith.\u00a0 Ultimately, they wish to divide the faithful from the nominal.\u00a0 Then they can easily and without any repercussion deal harshly with the ones who refuse to join the forced apostasy.<\/p>\n<p>My response is, if they want this world so badly, then go ahead and take it.\u00a0 If they want the sorry mess they have made of the culture and society, they can have everything from the whorehouse to the White House. \u00a0This world is not my home.\u00a0 I won\u2019t need or want it after they are finished with it anyway.\u00a0 I\u2019m going to a better place, a city whose builder and maker is God.\u00a0 That city will never have a corrupt ruler, never have an act of evil committed in its boundaries, and there will never be a tear shed, or a person die who is a citizen thereof.<\/p>\n<p>So, I say to the corrupt politicians, the financial pimps and money mongers, homosexuals, vile judges, and other parasites and barnacles, go on and take it\u2014every last bit of the sorry mess you have made. \u00a0You can have your rat-infested, sin-laden, roach hotel and keep it as long as you can until the end of time.<\/p>\n<p>But there is one problem I feel the need to warn you about.\u00a0 When you put the finishing touches on your godless society, God will show up to give His opinion of your work.\u00a0 This is His planet that He spoke into creation.\u00a0 He did not give mankind an eternal lease on it.\u00a0 Instead, He gave us permission to occupy it until He arrived to take back full control.<\/p>\n<p>Your problem is that God is a consuming fire.\u00a0 He is coming in flaming fire.\u00a0 He is going to purge the earth and everything in it with fire so intense that the elements will melt.\u00a0 Only whatever survives the fire will remain.\u00a0 Further, everyone who practiced rebellion against Him will be cast into the lake of fire with the devil and his angels.\u00a0 That\u2019s the problem.<\/p>\n<p>Just as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego many years ago were impervious to the fire because God was with them, so God\u2019s people will not be\u00a0harmed by the fire because God is in them.\u00a0 Thus, the only way to escape this coming judgement is to become a citizen of God\u2019s kingdom.\u00a0 That is accomplished by believing in your heart that Christ Jesus is Lord and Savior, that God raised Him from the dead, and confessing those beliefs verbally.\u00a0 If you are sincere, the Holy Spirit will come to dwell in and possess you and begin the process of transforming you by renewing your mind.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, that means that you will then be a Christian as I am.\u00a0 You will view the world as hostile to your faith and put yourself at risk of persecution.\u00a0 However, you will also realize that no matter what you suffer here for being a Christian, it is not worthy to compare to what you will inherit when you arrive in God\u2019s eternal kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time to make a choice.\u00a0 Either serve the god of this world, or God Almighty.\u00a0 You cannot do both.\u00a0 The time is short.\u00a0 Things are rapidly coming to a conclusion.\u00a0 Make up your mind before you run out of an opportunity to choose.\u00a0 Come Lord Jesus!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So the rulers and influencers of the world system want to eliminate Christianity.\u00a0 They want to force us to accept homosexuality and
