Whatever happened to a "government for the people, and by the people?"

Recently a judge in California has overturned Prop 8 which was put in place by the citizens of California by going to the ballet box and voting this proposal in.  Our nation is under attack because of the fact that we as the Church have not been involved in the electoral process as we should have been.  By not putting the right people who hold to our values in office we now have judges who are have been placed by those who are "worldly minded"  making decisions that  the Bible declares to be "sinful".

The reason the laws in this nation have been undermined is because Christians have put more stock in their pocketbook than the environment that they are attempting to raise their children in.  By either not caring to get involved or just voting for the "media's most popular candidate", we have sacrificed much to those who profess that the Bible is just "another religious book".  By not preaching the saving grace of Christ to those in need around us and taking a stand on the social issues of the day, we have allowed the world to gain the upper hand and now we are paying the piper as a result.  We must turn our eyes back upon the Lord and repent for our selfish, and careless attitude.  It is time that the Church stood up and carried the Cross of Christ into battle.  Not only our the souls of men at risk, but the "soul" of our nation is at risk as well.

The door has not completely closed but the time is drawing near.  Church may we fall to our knees and cry out to God for direction.  Once He speaks let us go and do as He commands.  For the times demand it.  Are you ready for revival?
