I did a sermon after Christmas on “Who made This Mess.” It addressed the messes we make in life. I shared that most messes created are our own fault. Think about it for a bit. I have found over my lifetime of 62 years that when I got into a mess it was my fault most of the time. If we are not grounded in Jesus Christ and take responsibility for our actions we will look around for someone to blame, make excuses…and so on.
Who made this mess in America? We did! We all own a part of this awful dysfunction. I was taught by my Daddy that we were to leave this world a better place than we found it, well that certainly is not happening.
My answer is always the same, JESUS! Most leaders in our government are acting unBiblical. America needs a true Revival, not just talking about, but seeking the face of Jesus, repent of our sins and get right with the Lord. Until this happens America will continue to struggle, the next two years are going to be awful unless America seeks JESUS!
Listen, I have been preaching this message for years, I have been watching this unraveling of American now for years…..it really started years ago. Its like watching an impending crash.
So many Americans are blind to this, they are so tied up in politics they have taken their eyes off JESUS, all they see is a Republican Gospel or Democrat Gospel. There is more talk in this nation about politics than JESUS, that is the mess we have created.
Now because of the mess we have created, many have no pay check ABQ JOURNAL REPORT
For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. Philippians 1:21
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters. Colossians 3:23
But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:15
JESUS, not politics.
Even before America was founded, Preaches preached on these issues, Preaches fought for this Country on the battle ground and from the pulpit in the Revolutionary War. Preaches must preach against politics and preach for Jesus, the only answer! Preachers must be Bold in Jesus, standing up against politics and stand for Jesus, the only answer, don’t make political figures your God. Don’t just hold a High School pep rally, as the late Chuck Colson said years ago.
