Comments on: Aftermath http://ceruleansanctum.com/2008/11/aftermath.html Looking for the 1st century Church in 21st century America Wed, 17 Mar 2010 20:20:52 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: jac9z http://ceruleansanctum.com/2008/11/aftermath.html#comment-42402 jac9z Sun, 16 Nov 2008 07:38:09 +0000 http://ceruleansanctum.com/?p=1060#comment-42402 I see the fat and easy life of the American church being shaken in the near future, may we share in the suffering of our fellow believers in the far corners of the world where they are tried by 'evil leaders' and thrown into prisons. We are so worried about the worlds systems and how it will effect our comfortable lives I pray that God will forgive us in America for our playing the harlot. I believe that God is in control here and He raises up leaders and brings them down. His purpose shall not be thwarted. WAKE UP OH CHURCH!! SOUND THE TRUMPET IN ZION, RAISE YOUR VOICE LIKE A TRUMPET THERE ARE LOST MEN AND WOMEN ON THIER WAY TO DISTRUCTION EVEN AS WE CRY ABOUT ELECTIONS. GOD FORBID THAT WE SHOULD LOSE SIGHT OF OUR TRUE PURPOSE TO BRING GLORY TO GOD AND TO KNOW HIM. LET THE SHAKING BEGIN AND MAY WE REPENT OF OUR WICKED WAYS AND MAKE DISCIPLES AND LET GOD ADD TO THE CHURCH DAILY.

Although having grown up in the South, I can't help but note the irony that the party which nominated Barack Obama for president in 2008 is the same party which embraced segregationist policies as recently as a generation ago. I suspect lots of folks who voted for Sen. Obama don't realize that the major civil rights bills of the 1960's wouldn't have passed Congress without considerable support from congressional Republicans. I agree that too many evangelicals have allowed themselves to place their trust in the government or the GOP rather than Jesus. Somehow we have to strike a better balance between our citizenship in this earthly kingdom and our much more significant - and eternal - citizenship in our heavenly kingdom. You're right, Dan - the church needs to do a much better job of evangelizing and making disciples. And yes, we need to purge the house of God. But I'm wondering who ,if anyone, in the evangelical church's leadership will realize this, step forth and sound off? Someone e-mailed me a couple of those prophecies earlier this fall, but I figured I'd wait to see if they came true. They didn't. I'm wondering what, if anything, I should say to the sender since she also embraced the so-called "Lakeland Revival." Thanks, Dan, for sharing your observations.

Sorry. Colin,
