I believe America stands at a spiritual and Moral crossroad. A time that will determine the path of our nation and possibly the world. Christians are openly scorned and ridiculed by the media. Believers in Jesus Christ are never portrayed favorably by the entertainment industry. There has not been one occasion in recent memory where good wholesome Christian virtues have been treated respectfully by any major media outlet.
On the Judicial front, our courts and justices grow ever more hostile to any public expression of Christian faith. Public schools, funded by millions of our tax dollars, make it difficult for students to exercise their freedom of religion. They also have allowed the distribution of Condoms and Birth control pills to young boys and girls without parental consent.
The mention of Jesus as the way, the truth, and the life is an affront. In an era where all faiths must be equally exceptable, the exclusive claims of the Gospel are considered morally offensive. Our culture hates the mere mention of Jesus. What can we as Christians do to change this?
1) Prayer and repentence. We need to examine ourselves and come to the Lord with humility.
2) We must respectfully engage those in our circle of influence with the truth of the Gospel .
3) Speak the truth in love for our fellow man.
4) Be bold in our faith.
With God in our corner, we can make a difference. We must make a difference.
The above message was given by Franklin Graham In his message "Taking a Stand For Christ"
