Slaves to Sin

-
Public Domain, Washinton State Legislature


Today the Nation is celebrating the life of Civil Rights Leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that he was a man of courage and a man of God. He was the figure that when he saw an injustice he spoke against it. He was a man that lived his to fulfill Jesus Christ’s commandment to “love your neighbor such as yourself”! American is a much better place because of his admirable work. His work allowed for us to live more free.

But today in 2011. We are still not free. Our slave mentality persists through our unrighteous acts. We smoke, we drink, we use drugs, we are sexually immoral, we spend all of our lives partying, lying, stealing and cheating. We hate our neighbor and wish we can be better than everyone else. We may be free physically. But all of humanity is still a slave to sin. We continue to be prisoners because we do not want to turn to God. We do not want to open our hearts to him and admit that we are sinners and that we cannot continue to live on without his redeeming grace. It does not matter if we are red, yellow, brown, black or white. Sin transcends race and national creed. The only man that can totally free us is Jesus Christ. We are free physically but the devil still has most of humanity in its grip. Turn to Jesus Christ. He is the Savior that will break all the chains that drag us into despair and fear. Only Christ through God his Father has the power to make us free forever.

I don't agree with most of this post, but I do feel that the MLK Day holiday has been perverted from its original meaning. My blog has a post about that very thing.

Benjamin how can you say that sin is not the main problem of the world? Sin was the real reason for slavery, sin is the reason for racism and the exploitation of others at their expense. People are immoral and as a result there are many problems and suffering on this earth. We have to break the cycle and i feel Jesus is the only way.

Radical Islam Unites Christians Attacks against Christians by radical Islamists across the globe is having unintended consequences. Christians of different denominations are uniting to raise awareness about the violent nature and deception of Islam. Held in Downers Grove, IL the conference The Persecuted Church: Christian Believers in Peril in the Mid dle East is one of many assemblies happening throughout the United States. On March 12, 2011 speakers from many Christian sects gathered in front of over 300 attendees to speak about their experiences and to discuss strategies to stop the Islamic onslaught. Speakers noted that in Islamic countries such as Egypt, the indigenous are killed because of their Christian faith in plain view and collaboration of the government. Attackers of St. George Church in Egypt fired away at Christians from behind army tanks. In Iraq, Julianna Taimoorazz stated that “No mercy is shown to children. Infants [are] broiled and presented to their mothers on a ...

Jesus Christ and Che Guevara

Public Domain, Che Guevara There is no denying that many special interest groups are spreading false perceptions of Christianity. One that is very notable is done by the socialists/communists. One of the biggest idols of socialism is Che Guevara. He is idolized by many people frustrated with how capitalism exploits the poor. If you ever go to a protest you will see Che's mug on t-shirts or banners. One would think it was as if we were viewing a photograph of Jesus Christ. But it is not. And that is what the socialists want the public to believe in an attempt to win converts for their revolutionary cause. They often say, Jesus Christ was a revolutionary, just like Che! This of course is totally false. Jesus Christ and Che Guevara are complete opposites. Jesus did cause a revolution, but it was a spiritual revolution. Jesus Christ's mission was never meant to be political. Che, who was a doctor, was so incense about fighting for the rights of the poor that he felt ki...

Muslims and Christians DO NOT Believe in the Same God!

"Trinity"  Coecke Van Aelst, 1502.  Public Domain Muslims and Christians do not worship the same god.  In many interfaith circles that is the common denominator, supporters in this belief always say, “We believe in the same god.”  But the truth is that the God we worship as Christians, is not the same god Muslims or any other group worships. The Christian God Is All-Loving He commanded us through His Son Jesus Christ to love and pray for our enemies. He also said to love our neighbors just as ourselves. This is a radical departure from most faiths that believe the opposite. Other faiths teach that we have a duty for self-defense and even kill other people who are trying to hurt us.  Jesus said, “If someone slaps you, turn the other cheek.  If someone wants your coat, give it to him.”  This is a very hard thing for humans to do.  It is so much easier to hate, fight back, swallow our pride than to love and forgive. The Christian...
