What would you do?

     Let's imagine that it's become politically charged to be a Christian.  Let's imagine there is legislation prohibiting prayer in school or even the reading of the Bible.  Let's imagine that you are not able to share the Gospel in your work place.  Let's imagine that other religions are permitted to teach your children in school.  Let's imagine that you, a Christian, are the only special interest group that is no longer protected.  Let's imagine that you can be sued because of the exercise of your faith.  These are all things that we don't need to imagine.  They are real.  They have and are taking place all around you.  Whether you like it or not Satan is the god of this world and he isn't kind to believers.  That leaves you and I to figure out what to do?  Not even close.  We know what to do.  We don't need to be silent.  We don't need to be politically correct.  We don't need to be tolerant.  We don't need to subjugate ourselves to the whims of special interest groups.  God is still the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  Stop imagining that everything is going to be okay! 
     As Christians we have stood by and let others contain our relationship with Christ.  Talk about praying and reading the Bible in school?  That's a game changer.  Actually doing it?  That is the work of the Holy Spirit standing up for what is right.  Share your faith at work and you may be fired depending on the employer.  Share it anyway.  God can take care of you and your circumstances.  Being led by the Holy Spirit and doing what God wants done is always a winning combination.  Stand up to other religions teaching your child in public schools.  What is wrong with us?  We need to be protectors of our children and the faith that is developing within them.  Coexisting is not an option.  Neither is pretending that other faiths are harmless.  Stand up in your business and not give in to the pressures of special interest groups.  What is the worst that can happen?  Well, today, you can be sued.  You might lose some business and gain other business deals.  God is in charge and the universe is unfolding as it should.  Stand up and do what is right for the right reason.  What would you do if these choices came before you today?  Would you choose to stand for God or acquiesce and save your worldly butt?
     These are tough times calling for tough Christians to stand up for their Lord and Savior.  Yes, some will be offended.  Why?  Because they are afraid.  We know the way to salvation and aren't afraid.  We don't need to wage war against a cult or other faith.  The war has already been fought and won.  Yes, those who believe in any god other than Jesus will perish and spend eternity in hell.  So will you if you aren't saved.  There is a call for grace and mercy to others in the form of God's love.  How can we share that love if we don't speak out, stand up and carry the Gospel everywhere we are?  How can the lost be saved unless the saved speak out and stand up against the enemy?  How can those who are perishing be saved unless we do the work of God amongst them?  The final question will be when we stand before God (we all will be called before God for an accounting).  When asked about our life will God answer us with well done thou good and faithful servant or will he say away from me you who wasted your life?  What would you do?  It's always your choice.
