Our duty and our responsibility as Christian men

Our duty and our responsibility as Christian men

In my visits to Christian churches across America that I have seen church congregations increasingly composed of women and older men. This lower percentage younger men who profess to be vital for Christians attend church regularly remarkable.

Where are the Christian men gone? Perhaps most important, why they left. The decrease was maintained in the late fifties (50) years. During this same period, the United, the only nation in the world in training as a Christian nation, Christians, for Christians, has undergone drastic changes in its history.

I, as a young man who attends a public school, each day the application was initiated with a prayer. Today may be imprisoned for Christ's prayer in public schools. Yes, in jail.

The director of the Pace High School Pace, Florida, Frank Lay, who was charged with violation of an order issued by the Judge Margaret C. "Casey" Rodgers, who was prohibited, Pace faculty and staff to pray or hold religious ceremonies in schools or at school events, which originated from a lawsuit filed by the ACLU. Lay had made a prayer at a staff function Superior Pace (to the dedication of the current building with students no). This was considered a violation of court order and laity, was charged with contempt of court. A brazen unconstitutional act can not be held in the United States before 1960.

Let me extend the earlier statement that America was formed as a Christian nation by Christians for The Christians. Everything has a root, a genesis. Genesis of the United States was when the Pilgrims first arrived in this new world. What agreement was made in the first foundation of the law written in the New World.

This writing is known as "The Mayflower Compact," dated 11 November 1620. Here's what that 41 passengers of the ship according to its Constitution, its foundation. 39 of these 41 were "separatists" are fleeing religious persecution in Europe. Read what they have signed;

"Having undertaken for the Glory of God, and Advancement of the Christian faith and honor of our king and country, a voyage to plant the first colony in northern Virginia, do hereby solemnly in the presence of God and one another, covenant and combine to form civil body politic for our better organization and its preservation and maintenance for the above purposes, and then to constitute, and under these just and equal laws, ordinances, acts, constitutions and offices, from time to time, as such, one must consider best suited to meet and the overall interest of the Colony, to which we all commit submission and obedience. "

In witness whereof we have affixed our names at Cape Cod on once of November 1620.

This document is the genesis of America. For the Glory of God and advancement of the Christian faith. This document is preceded Our Declaration of Independence 156 years. Note that this document was the declaration of the directors of the foundation of America was one (1) long paragraph. Your Congress is now a bill pushed through comically "Health Care Reform," when in fact a tax and spending bill that require the redistribution of wealth from those who work for which no more than 2000 pages. Why so words? To confuse it, so. You can bury the truth in an avalanche of words. Thomas Jefferson said over 233 grand vision, was the government who prescribe our medicines and foods, our bodies would in such as maintenance of our souls are now. "

I asked earlier, "Where are the Christian men gone? How can that this Christian nation of over 307 million people, with The latest statistics show that 76.5% of the population profess to be Christians, are governed by despots? How can 224437959, nearly 225 million people who call themselves Christians, allow a small minority to lead the nation only in the world created for the Glory of God and the promotion of Christian faith?

What progress in our country is a blasphemy to God the Father and Jesus Christ. People in power are moving to remove all vestiges of God and Jesus Christ in his life. Now it is forbidden to pray in public. It prohibits public display of the commandments of God. It is forbidden to put a cross on his property. The UN has a resolution by the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC)

Under the resolutions which were proposed by the OIC, a Christian pastor who claims that Jesus is the only way high could be indicted under a human rights resolution on the United Nations, for defamation against Islam.

Marriage is a parody of the sacred. Churches now marrying same-sex couples. Millions of children are killed each year here in America. Their freedom is threatened. Natural rights granted by God and declared in our Constitution are being eroded and will soon be lost. How long will God continue blessing to this country when he sees these abominations flourish? We can not know what to say, but we have the Word of God.

"Do not bow down to them nor serve them: for I am the Lord thy God, I am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me. "

Exodus 20:5

Who is responsible for the inequalities imposed on us all? You and I as Christians are responsible. We did not meet their obligation and responsibility before God and country. Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, once said, "The timid men prefer the calm of despotism to tempestuous sea of liberty. "Are we as Christians shy? Unfortunately, most are. But even the Christians are still Christians, timid and only needs leadership and a reasonable way to get strength and courage.

What is our duty and responsibility as Christians?

We must first understand what is meant by the word Duty

The Law ( "reason", to be, O. DEU, no, past participle of rights; Lat. shall, debitum, cf. "Debt") is a term that reflects a sense of moral commitment to someone or something. The moral commitment is the type that results in action and not a matter of sentiment or simply a passive recognition. When someone recognizes a right which person is committed to the cause regardless of the selfish involving stock prices that were once relevant in May. This does not mean that a life of service objects one of the best kind of life, but duty involves some sacrifice of immediate self-interest.

1 Our first duty (moral commitment) of God and our Lord Jesus Christ.

How are we doing this? The Word of God guide us.

Jesus said, "I am the Resurrection and the Life. He who believes in me, though he die, shall live". John 11:25

Believing in the words mentioned in the Bible 131 times. This repetition stresses the importance of this word. What this phrase means, right? Many Christians believe that really believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, Christians are saved. Even the devil and demons believe in Jesus. Thus, it should deepen what it means to believe, to see what means for us to do.

To fully understand the importance of "believe in" means that you must first go to the root of the word. The New Testament was written in Greek. The Greek word for believe is Pistevo means;

R. To join, support or maintain loyalty. B. To stay strong and stick, as by gluing or fusing.

With this understanding, now look what our Lord Jesus Christ said in John 11:25

"I I am the resurrection and the life. It is noted that it remains true, sticks to me, though he die, shall live. "

Jesus said in John 14:15 "If love me keep my commandments. "

What made Christ Jesus' command to his disciples? They have no other gods than God the Father, and love one others as yourself.

To love one another is probably the most difficult sentence included in the Bible. What is love? A simple but very concise meaning love is "Do not hate."

In Greek, love has several specific meanings, we can deduce that Jesus said that its name means "Philia", or friendship. It's a natural affection, like that felt by parents of children. It is used to describe family relationships.

In our daily lives as Christians, we must understand his command to love one another as yourself. Love is also correct. We must correct our own faults before we can correct others. As a devoted father to correct his son if he is the same, it requires that the child is not it? Who would be taken as the hypocrisy and create resentment, not love. Resentment is the basis of all rebellion and discord within the family.

When Jesus said that we must do to others what we do for ourselves. When we understand that this correction is a key element of this command. We Christians have to be corrected our family, our neighbors, who understands our community and our nation.

That's our duty to God. We must hold fast, stick with it, and correction (love) ourselves as the right thing (love) those around us.

If we, as Christians, men really Joining Jesus and obey his orders, being chased wolves power over the lamb of God. Do you accept this responsibility? "

2. The second duty (moral commitment), that Christians have our family.

Before we can accept our Christian duty of the family, we know who is our family.

Christ told us that the answer, "For whoever does the will of God, He is my brother and my mother." Mark 3:35.

Our duty is to all members of the family of Christ. When Christians understand this command and work in unity with fellow Christians, those are the family the devil will be no more than

The Christian family must be headed by men of virtue, noble character and deeds. When the family is headed by a noble family will follow him the sincere respect of Noble is defined as the possession, characterized by or arising from superiority of mind or character or ideals or morals. If we are honest men of Christ, we must be noble. Sarah, Abraham's wife, addressed him: "My Lord", because Abraham was a noble man of God. How many of our wives who are we?

We live in a very special time of spiritual warfare. Christ told us about all those with him are the family of the devil. John 8:42-47 (New King James Version)

42 Jesus said, "If God were your Father, you love me, because I've gone ahead and came from God, more than I have, but he sent me. 43 Why do not understand my speech? Because you can not hear my word. 44 You are of your father the devil, and the wishes of her father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and can not stand the truth because the truth is not it. When he lies, he speaks from his own resources, because he is a liar and the father of one 45. But as I tell the truth, I think. 46 Which of you convicts me of sin? And to tell you the truth, why do not you believe me? 47 He that is of God hears God's words, so do not listen, because you are not of God. "

Now we certainly live in an age when most of those who have power over us, not of God. They hear no words, just because they have no desire to. They want what their father do what you want and father. You know them by their actions. Now! Christians should do what Heavenly Father wants from us and not be deceived.

We men of God knows that we must protect and secure our wives and children. How do you do when your freedom is deteriorating? How many men are now unemployed? Million, is the answer. Why are the best question to ask. The reason of millions of jobs move to China and other nations is the product of a plan of those who oppose God in order to reduce the people of God, that a third world country without God. You all know, or have a very good idea what happens to our economy is not by chance. Expected. It is our duty not to expose the many problems facing America, your country, your city or your family, you is aware of these. It is our responsibility to solve these problems and working with Christians in the unity of purpose WE WILL.

Only Christian men committed to working as a family has, can and will restore the gods Nation. It's not too late to gain or regain the nobility you. Simply are united in Christ Jesus. This time we are united to Jesus. Defend your families, to defend America. Let us today resolve welfare of marching soldiers and Christians war. It's a spiritual war. We will win, because Christ is our leader.

"You bow down to them nor serve them, because I am the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me. "Exodus 20:5

I invite all those who want to position today to send an email to messenger@uniteforchrist.org Together we will restore this One Nation Under God.

For the One I serve Jesus Christ our Lord
