   I know there are others who feel the same distress that I do.  The question is, do you share this distress with others.  Do you tell your pastor that you feel this way?  We are afraid, it seems, to let others know how we feel.  If the church (God’s people, not the denomination) does not stand up for God, why should others believe in Him?

   We are told if we wear a cross, or display the ten commandments that we will be fired.  So we fold and take them off our desk.  We are told that if we stand against certain acts of sin that we will be arrested or shunned because we do not love or we are intolerant.

   Jesus loved the world but He called sin, SIN.  He did not refer to it as a “choice’ or bad behavior.  Jesus said THIS IS SIN.  The Bible says that if we continue in SIN, that we will go to HELL!  That’s another thing, many are beginning to believe that there is no hell.  How do you believe in God; how do you believe in Heaven; how do you believe in Angels without believing that there is Satan; there is sin; there is a hell; there are demons.  If you do not believe the whole Bible, you don’t believe any of the Bible.  The Bible does not lie.  God does not lie.  If the Bible says there is a hell and you will go there if you do not believe in Jesus Christ, His Deity, His Death, His Resurrection and His coming again.

   We must begin to take a true stand for God.  I believe we are in the last days.  I tell people that it does not matter when the Rapture comes, it does not matter when the Tribulation comes, it does not matter when the Millenium comes.  What does matter is that you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.  It matters that you have accepted Jesus.  It matters that you have changed your life.  It matters that you are ready!  It matters that you stand up for your belief and it matters that you tell others about Jesus Christ.  Call sin, sin.  Not a mistake!  The mistake is taking sin lightly and feeling that God will not send you to hell for that little MISTAKE.
    GOD DOES NOT SEND YOU TO HELL.  God created hell for Satan and his demons.  GOD DID SAY THAT IF YOU DO NOT REPENT.  If you continue in sin and do not ask forgiveness.  YOU WILL GO TO HELL!

 
It is simple:
                Belief in Jesus, repenting from sin and loving equals Salvation and eternal life in
                Heaven.
               
                Ignoring Jesus, willing commission of sin and hate equals HELL!

Those of us who are Christian: 
                We are celebrating Christmas.  The birth of our Saviour. 
                We put love for others above everything.

                We do not worship the Christmas Tree. 
                We do not put giving gifts ahead of sharing Jesus.
                We do not practice CONDITIONAL love.

   There is a lot of emotion in this article.  We must have emotion when we tell of Jesus Christ.  I am emotional that others do not show how they feel.  I am emotional when I see the mistreatment of others because we feel that we are better than they are.  I am emotional that we are not leaders within our communities but seem to be despised because we are not what we say we are.

   Give others a reason to believe in Christ.  If we want to bring Christ back to the world, we must bring Christ back to our heart and the way that we live.

   May God bless you and convict you to begin behaving in the manner that Christ and His disciples taught us to behave.  BE A CHRISTIAN!  BE CHRIST-LIKE!
