War is Not Christian
To the editor:
A hot topic these days seem to be the war with Iran with its ever changing reason for being and continuing. So much so that even some of the most diehard President Trump followers are questioning the need since it is causing a negative impact on our country. Sadly, their main reasons for concern seem to revolve around such things as how much it is costing, the price increases or that some Americans have died, but the true cost is that it is another act that is not Christian. Such acts jeopardizing the salvation of Christians that have supported this evil regime, making them an accessory to all they do! Like any other evil, it engulfs them like quicksand that is difficult to escape.
Non-Christian acts by the government are not a new issue or exclusive to the current people leading us but has been increasing in our government over the past 40+ years. Unfortunately; this is primarily due to those who call themselves "Christian" no longer believing that all their actions and the actions of the people they support or tolerate directly affect how God sees them. They fail to understand that there is no separation of one's actions when supporting evil people whether they are in government or not. We are accountable for all our actions.
God calls us to be the light in this dark world - not a supporter of evil in it for any reason!
The truth is that all our actions affect our faith. Poor actions weaken our connection to Christ and proper God directed actions strengthen it.
We can't expect better from our government, the government we choose, until our actions reflect what Christ expects from us and only support those whose actions, not words, follow a Christ driven path and deserves our support!
Please read the following passages of God's expectation of action..
Matthew 15:7-11, 26:51-52, 22:34-40, 5:13-16, Luke 6:27-36, John 3:19-21, 1 Peter 2:8-25, Jude
May these words of God reach your heart and lead you back to know how God expects Christians to act in all aspects of their lives!
Maybe then, we will start allowing less evil in the Government.
