Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


If it were Anna Nicole Smith that our nation was up against then we’d be in luck. Why? Well, you could probably buy her a Bentley, get her new boobs, perhaps new collagen injections, a fresh vial of botox and a shiny new pole and, more than likely, she would stand down. Not so with these cats. The Islamofascists are calloused to the core.

In addition to the external threat via Muslim madness, we’ve got the internal menace coming from the secular-to-the-bone, anti-Judeo/Christian cabal that would love nothing more than to turn traditional American values into an archaic blip in our history books. Now, granted, these traditional-values/America haters do not wield weapons like the Islamofascist pukes do; nevertheless, they despise this land and that for which it stands.

That said, what do we, Christians in particular, do when faced with implacable, radical American enemies? Just sit around singing “Friends” by Michael W. Smith and hope these bad guys will leave us alone? Should we just ignore the viable millennial threat of militant Islam and usurping secularism?

I, for one, will not take a passive stance against an aggressive enemy. You cannot be lame and win this game with these guys. So, as a Christian, I suggest the following:

Embrace The Clash that is upon us. There is an Islamofascist and secular elephant in the room that we’ve gotta stop ignoring. This is a time for war so we’ve got to put on our game shoes. This is not the time for the Christian to be solipsistic.

I know . . . I know . . . it’s not pleasant, and I, too, would like to be focused on my personal prosperity and my hopes and dreams. However, sometimes the times dictate that we focus upon and fight for other things besides our own personal stuff—and such a time is upon us like stink on a monkey. Therefore, we’ve got to switch gears and make sure we are waging war in the heavenlies so that we can continue to see a semblance of peace on earth.

God has uniquely equipped the church with spiritual weapons and armor such that, with heaven’s battery, we could assist mankind greatly via our hearty engagement of this current Clash—if we’d quit ignoring the current crisis and become adept believers. I believe good triumphs over evil in whatever form the evil takes. I also believe that just as God has ordained that good will triumph over evil in time and not just in eternity, He has also ordained the means by which this battle will be won.

In the next few weeks I will be tossing my two cents into the ring in an attempt to define what the church should be doing when godless scum floats to the surface.

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God."

Mr T
I meant to imply only that you can not take scripture out of context. Of course, all (NT)scripture applies to everyone. What I probabbly should have said is perhaps you are taking the word prosperity in this instance wrong, as you seem to liken being prosperous with the love of material things. There are many places in the scripture which would imply that God delights in the prosperity of his servants.
