In search of what's next

I'm born again....

A close friend sent me a link to a website the other day called born again American. It has lots of stuff on the website to check out, which basically looks like a more or less patriotic site if you watch the first video. The main video has a song called "born again American" that sung by a bunch of different people and pieced together nicely in a pretty good video.

But there's another video linked on the lower part of the page that says it's going to "inspire, connect, and bring peace to the world through song". This made my skin crawl.

First, just so you know, there is only 1 way to peace. That is thru Jesus Christ, my Lord and savior. All other signs and methods will get you no where. Remember that for the rest of your life. You're going to need it.

And since there is only 1 way to peace, then this video is a complete failure. It doesn't mention Christ or His saving grace or the peace that He brings.

Then when you think about it, neither does the main title video about born again American. It's a really good attempt to bolster your thoughts and feeling about this country of ours, but it misses the point. Christ is what makes us strong and Christ is what makes our nation strong.

When you have a president that waltzes around the globe telling everyone that we're NOT Christian, when the very principles of Christianity is what the nation was founded upon, well then you have a serious problem.

Our once great nation is in turmoil because we're tearing the roots of our beginnings out. We're trying to rip all mention and knowledge of the saving grace of Christ.

We have poverty in our streets because we have forgotten the love of Christ. We have outrageous court actions between citizens and businesses because we have forgotten the forgiveness of Christ. We have outrageous prices for the smallest and simplest of things because we have forgotten the grace of Christ. We have elected officials in office that trample over us and our constitutional rights because we have forgotten the hope of Christ.

How long before He forgets our nation, which we have been born into? Do not be fooled by this glossed over missive.

  • Very well said brother Rick. The false "messiah" obama is trying his best to make a case that he will provide peace and prosperity to America. Yet he will not. He will ultimately fail due to the fact he has rejected the one and only Son of the Living God, Jesus Christ. He has embraced a false gospel and he is its chief evangelist. World unity only leads to world tyranny. So says Scripture and so it will be.
