I have grappled with this question over the past three years or so. I don't worry about what I am or where I stand spiritually but there is another debt to society that I owe by virtue of Jesus' saying render unto Caesar what is his and to God what is His. We, you and I, are a dichotomy: we have a spiritual man and a physical man. Childishly we imagine that we can separate the two by compartmentalizing our lives. How foolish. I fear we're moving socially toward a day when Christians will be outcasts and ultimately criminals. This generation and the next are probably safe, though facing an uphill struggle, but I really fear for the following generation: my grandchildren and their children. We are systematically allowing our government to dismantle the principles upon which our society was built - a society that believed, worshiped, acknowledged and followed Jehovah God. The fact is, and Paul was very pointed when he spoke about this in Romans chapter 7, I face a monumental battle between the spiritual man and the flesh man that for the moment holds him in captivity. Our country is faltering because there are people and groups who work tirelessly to eradicate God from our lives. They are insidious servants of Satan. They have maneuvered us into positions of seemingly incomprehensible compromise: we, by law pay taxes as Jesus directed to a government that is unabashedly diligent in its efforts to stamp out God and His influence in the lives of people everywhere. We vicariously fund abortions, assassinations, wars, adultery, fornication, torture, turmoil and sin of almost every description.
Our position has been: "Church and State are to be Separated." That is a fallacious system upon which societies are built today. We Christians need to stand up for Jesus. We need to read and apply the fifth and sixth chapters of 2nd Corinthians. It is time for us, prayerfully it isn't too late, to find our voice because we are the only voice the Lord has on earth!
Forget political correctness. Call things as they are: right or wrong. If we don't take our stand, we may leave no legacy for our great-grandchildren to build upon.
