I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE

Good morning, this morning I'm going to bring up a subject that millions deal with everyday. I'm going to start it off by saying that eyes that are not on Jesus ARE eyes that are on the wrong thing. One of my pet peeves is this, seems that a Christian who has an opinion about anything in this world gets beat back by what I call mushy Christians. You know the ones that never say anything then all of a sudden they appear on your webpage quoting a scripture about being careful what we say and how we say it, you know that kind of thing. If you share your faith the atheist, who by the way, spend an awful lot of time debating something they say doesn't exist. FYI: if it doesn't exist shut up and move on. No that's an example of how the other side reacts so now the Christian side. A Christian says to an outspoken Christian be careful how you judge you don't know me! LMBO lMBO hahaha. As for me in my 50 years of being a Christian I've actually tried it both ways and guess what you can't win either way so keep your eyes on Jesus look for and in his wonderful face and he will guide you. Sometimes mushy Christians are the hardest to deal with. What you have here is your overzealous Christian, and example like the other day I heard a so called Christian congressman blasting in an arrogant way the presidential candidate Donald Trump saying he was a womanizer has had over 30 women blah blah blah blah blah, and clearly this backwoods congressman that got lucky and got elected to the US House, has no true understanding of the Holy Bible from the beginning to the end. Just like many anti-christians say or should I say anti Christian people always bring up bad stories they read in the scriptures. Neither they or ignorant Christians know how to comprehend what they read. They are bewitched as the Apostle Paul would have said, one refuses to have any faith in Christ the other Pics out what they want to fit their narrative. Leviticus chapter 19 verse 34 the stranger who resides with you should be to you as the native among you and you shall love him as yourself for you were aliens in the land of Egypt I am THE LORD your God. As referring to my above statement I show you two scriptures. Proverbs 17:17 says this, a friend loves at all times, & a brother is born for adversity. Look out now, born to adversity? Oh my goodness you mushy Christians how dare the Word of God mention the word adversity that somebody's born to adversity. Proverbs 10:12 hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all transgressions The Book of Psalms chapter 133 verse 1, behold how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity. In my research of brotherly love Scripture I agree with it all but the notion that we cannot be involved in politics and government or work without having an opinion and being able to voice that opinion is ridiculous. We don't have to hate each other but we can be passionate. After all John the Baptist wasn't exactly a politically correct figure and it cost him his life. I can just see him in modern America today. Why Americans would have hung him a long time ago. What's my point? You may say. My point is, be passionate about your country about your Lord as much as you feel like. We don't have to kill each other over it. But certain disciples and many prophets have called people out on the carpet so to speak over their beliefs. I have friends and I have family and they know me very well, but hello! I know them well too. I know the silent ones from the passionate ones. I know what they think of me, but read this blog and they will know what I'm thinking about them. Do I love them, absolutely I do. If one of them should stumble my heart will not be glad proverbs chapter 24 verse 17 + 18. Now I do not feel that the word enemy in here means the worst of situations only. What I'm talking about in this blog are people that say they have faith yet there actually timid people afraid that they may have to defend their words. Don't be afraid, be righteous when you judge a situation. Judging a situation a person's stance on an issue is acceptable by Jesus Christ. It is to be done keeping love in mind. As for me personally I have been taken in at times in my life when I had a need, by gracious people who never attacked me blamed for my issues. They always supported me as a man as a young man. But we would talk many times about my issues I was having at the time. I did not always agree with their assessment nor did I always take their advice. But I listen and take their words into consideration, and I definitely don't search the Bible trying to find Scripture to excuse me for my behavior nor judge them for their opinion. I'm writing this because occasionally on social media I will see a Christian who you never heard of pop up on the screen telling me to be careful how I judge. LMBO are you kidding me. When I research these people I find out that they belong to large kumbaya let's have a group hug mushi Christian group. I usually come in on those issues knowing full well when I do they begin to judge me. They do not judge my opinion they judge me my salvation my knowledge of God's Word. Well I'm going to paraphrase sermon given by the late great John Wesley in this sermon he made it very clear by asking someone sir or ma'am should not my opinion mean as much to me as your opinion means to you? Just a little tidbit to get you to think about. Anyway I'm going to end this little blog. I'm full well that I am preaching to myself as well as to others. I feel anyone who is serious about following Jesus understanding the holy Heavenly Father, as they search the Scriptures with all their heart they will see how much grace God has. The Bible is a story of Mans sin, and Gods gracious forgiveness. Don't just search it looking for morsels to prop up your narrative trying to make it fit. If this narrative is profitable to the gospel as the Apostle Paul would have said, then prop it up with Scripture by all means. God bless and God bless the United States of America. My name is Wayne Siskey and I approve this message.
