Why would my website called
"Everything Jesus" have a Political
Page?
Because, just like I believe that 'love' is an
action, I also believe that the Christian is
called to action.
As a follower of Christ, I desire to be like Him
in every way, and though I believe that
prayer is our first course of action, and our
most POWERFUL weapon, we as Christians
are not to sit idly by and let our religious
freedoms be stripped from us. (We see that
Jesus himself did more than pray).
We need to pray for our leaders; we are
commanded to be subject to those in
authority; and we are reminded in
scripture that there is no authority
except from God
(Rom.13:1-4)
I consider myself to be a Conservative, a
Christian Activist, and an Advocate for those
who cannot speak (i.e. the Unborn, the
disabled, and the elderly), and I will do that
as long as I have breath and sense the
leading of God regarding the issues that
affect them and us.

YOU CAN DO BOTH
A powerful scene in the movie "Amazing Grace"
drives home a point that many misunderstand.
William Wilberforce, the 19th century abolitionist,
struggles with what to do with his new found faith.
As he wrestles with this critical issue he has
several visitors who have been told of Mr.
Wilberforce's dilemma. These avid abolitionists
know of Mr. Wilberforce's political passion and
skill, especially in the battle against slavery.
"We understand that you are having difficulty
deciding whether to do the work of God or the
work of a political activist" one of them shares
with him. The woman in the group then drives
home the point, "We humbly suggest you can do
both."
Many Christians believe value in God's eyes
comes only from entering "full time ministry." This
is such a tragedy. God has made each of us with
unique talents and skills. When we mistakenly
believe that only missionaries or pastors have a
high calling, we miss God's best for our life and
we underutilize the gifts we have been given.
The Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 7:17 wrote,
"Only let each person lead the life that the Lord
has assigned to him, and to which God has called
him. This is my rule in all the churches."
Imagine a world with all Christians serving only as
pastors and missionaries. Who would reach the
people in the workplaces of the world? Who
would provide the food, shelter, clothing, etc. that
we need to carry out God's plan? Who would
start businesses or lead our government? It
would be disastrous, but worse yet it isn't God's
plan.
Remember that we are all called to be in ministry
regardless of where we work. Consider the sage
advice of Wilberforce's friends: you can do both.

Discerning the Times
by Rick Joyner of Morningstar Ministries
"......This nation was born because of the vision for freedom that was promoted from the pulpits of the
churches in America. The pulpits of America have been the main platform for addressing the other major
issues and bringing some of the most badly needed change in society. It has largely been the pulpits of
America that have also kept the devotion to freedom alive in America. If it is going to happen, it will also
be the pulpits of America that bring us back from the abyss of the social, political, and economic
catastrophe that is now threatening us.
Does the church still have that kind of impact in America? It will if we will speak out. We do need to
recognize that the pulpit is no longer just a wooden platform in front of the congregation, but it also
includes television, the web, social networking platforms, publishing, and so forth.
...recent studies show that the esteem and trust for clergy has risen dramatically and could easily
become the most trusted voice in America very soon....we want to use this trust by being trustworthy,
being accurate, and being devoted to truth. That begins with understanding our trust. How could we be
good shepherds if we do not confront the major issues that are threatening the well-being of those we
have been given a trust and a responsibility to watch over? In Hebrews 13:17 we are told, “Obey your
leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account.” This
is an exhortation to the people about how to treat their leaders, but it also reveals the account that
leaders will have to give for how they cared for those entrusted to them. How can we be faithful watchmen
if we do not sound the alarm when the enemy is threatening?
Prophets in the Old Testament all reveal a serious and deep knowledge of history as well as an
understanding of the current events of the times, not only in Israel, but in nations far from Israel, even
without the Internet or Fox News. This is a fundamental responsibility that we have. Our ability to be the
salt and light that we are called to be will be directly proportionate to this.
In what is now popularly referred to as the separation of church and state, in all of the writings and
documents of our founding fathers and the documents upon which our government is based, there is not
one that could be interpreted as trying to keep the church out of governmental affairs, but rather it is the
opposite—they were all intended to keep the government out of church affairs. The church will be
throttled by Satan if we refuse to address the issues of our times.
Another Great Awakening is beginning in America. The first Great Awakening set the spiritual genetic
code of the country and helped to give birth to a nation founded on basic Judeo/Christian values. The
Second Great Awakening was the primary spark that led to the eradication of slavery in America, an
absolutely intolerable institution for any nation, much more so for a nation with a calling and destiny to
proclaim freedom to the world. What is this next Great Awakening going to bring?
Understanding that we see in part and prophesy in part, we cannot claim to have the whole picture yet,
but parts are becoming clear enough now so that we can better understand these times and know what
we should do. We will cover this over the next few weeks.
