God created some vessels for honor and some for dishonor (Romans 9:21). He created each of us with different gifts and callings in life (I Corinthians 12; Ephesians 4:11-12). Instead of equality, God calls us to follow unity.

The problem with equality is that everyone begins trying to seek the same level instead of pursue their personal best. It is not just okay to be different; it is wrong to conform. We should be transformed into His glorious image, not conform to that of the world around us or compare ourselves among ourselves.

We do not have inalienable rights

The topic of equality leads into the personal demand for respect and individual rights. Jesus did not march around saying, “Give me my rights!” Instead, the King of Heaven came to serve people who were largely His inferiors. If He had sought His rights, everyone would have had to bow to Him. Instead of seeking His own good, He gave Himself for the good of others (Ephesians 5:26-32; Philippians 2:3-11).

God’s people care about others and seek their good. They do not live to receive respect or to be equal. The spirit of Christianity is the spirit of servanthood. No one owes us a living. We do not deserve fair treatment. Consider this mindset in opposition to the spirit of the age:

Submitting yourselves one to another in love

Instead of demanding or equalizing, humble yourself. Equality does not make a peaceful society; wars are fought when everyone demands personal rights. Submission does make peace. When everyone submits to each other in a body of believers, peace and harmony reign. In the church we all look out for the best interests of each other—in other words a person does not have to defend his or her civil rights because caring people already are. Each individual is freed from self-defense and self-promotion to be able to care for the needs of others.

We do not live by self-evident truths based on reason and self-will. We live by the invisible mystery of God in Christ showing His great love through the church. We hold this Truth which is not so evident, that He made Himself of no reputation and took up the form of a servant.

My wife looked into the mystery and the company we got the trees from said many people experienced the same situation this year. They issued a statement on the topic, entitled “If the fruit drops, so does your heart.” The principles of this article struck home with me in a spiritual way, too. Too often, our spiritual fruit, which are new souls we have one to the Lord, will drop off too. When that happens, my heart drops even more than from seeing green peaches on the lawn.

Toxic chemicals make fruit drop off

I cringe if a bitter person gets around a new soul I am working to win to the Lord. Angry, hateful people who have a gripe against God or His people will do more to destroy new Christians than anything. Jesus told the parable about the wayward son who came back but his older brother was bitter and resentful against him. Sometimes people come into a church and someone there harbors feelings against them from the past. That unhappy believer could destroy that fruit before it ripe.

The father of the wayward son ran to meet him. He did not wait until the older brother got ahold of him. I think he ran to meet him so he could show acceptance and forgiveness before that revengeful person got to the young man. You and I should be like that father and run to welcome newcomers to the faith and those who are returning to the Lord, before some bitter believer does.

Apostle Paul wrote his letter to Philemon for this very reason. Philemon was a businessman who knew the Lord and had a worker named Onesimus who had done him wrong. Once Onesimus came to the Lord, Paul was concerned that the older brother, Philemon, would destroy this young fruit. Paul wrote to Philemon for the same reason the father ran to the wayward son—to prevent damage to the young fruit.

Lack of proper pollinators can make fruit fail

If you have the only apple tree in a ten mile radius, it will not bear much fruit. Orchards produce much fruit because the closeness of fruit bearers allows for pollination from the bees and the wind. A church with multiple soul winners will see more new converts remain than a church with only one who is zealous to reach the lost. A forest of maples will not help an apple tree blossom. The body of believers must develop a culture of reaching the lost.

By looking only for the sweetness in the world around them, honeybees make the world fruitful. Some people in the church will never stand on a street corner passing out tracts or pray with people in the mall, but they can help retain newcomers just by a smile, an encouraging word, and meaningful conversation.

Apricot trees do not help apple trees to set fruit. We need to immerse newcomers into the culture of the Holy and not try to cross-pollinate them. Too many hybrid Christians develop because we try to be ecumenical (blend with all belief systems) instead of taking a strong stand for truth. To the best of my ability, I seek to lead new believers in the way of truth and surround them with those of like precious place. There is a place for interfaith activities, but I think exposure to too much variety can stunt a new believer.

Too much fruit all at once will not be healthy

If a tree sets too much fruit all at once, it will not be able to bring it all to maturity. Rather than an abundance of scrawny fruit, the tree would do better to focus on developing a few healthy ones. Some zealous people make us feel like we have to go wide, scrambling to get all the people in the kingdom that we can. Unfortunately, such mass marketing often backlashes with those believers falling off the tree because no one taught them and helped them grow in the Lord.

You do not have to win everyone at your workplace today. Pray and ask God to help you find those who are seeking Him. Work within your social group and personal skills. You do not have to learn Cantonese to win the lost. Just talk to the person over your back fence. You will be more productive for God by working with two or three people rather than trying to win twenty-five at the same time.

Young trees often get too excited about setting fruit. When it begins to ripen, the weight will be too much for the young branches and will rip them right off the tree trunk. More than just damage the fruit, it hurts the tree and sets it back from further productivity. People who go overboard with soul winning often stunt their own growth and burn themselves out. Do not try to operate outside of what God has called you to be. Most people are not called to be crusade evangelists. We all are called to set fruit that remains (John 15:16).

Setting to fruit too early causes damage

This spring, we had to pull off perfect little pears from a tree we planted last year. The kids were upset with me, but that tree would hurt itself if it tried to develop that fruit. Young trees do not have enough food reserves to set fruit and survive the winter. Those who are new to the faith should not be left to set fruit alone.

New believers are the most likely to witness to their friends and co-workers. However, you should not leave the newbie alone to teach and answer questions to those who are seeking God. New converts need to get their roots down deep before they start trying to “feed” others the truths of God. If they give out too much at the beginning, they will stunt their own growth.

Reaching out to others will be a very rewarding experience for a new believer if an experienced one shares the load of developing that fruit with them.

Weather makes some drops unavoidable

You will lose some newbies no matter what you do. Jesus warned that some crop failure is unavoidable and there is not much you can do about it (Matthew 13). You should not beat yourself up every time someone walks away from the faith because we are all free to choose. You cannot do it right enough for the wrong person or wrong enough for the right person (within reason).

It helps to know that we are not wholly responsible for the faith of others. We are responsible to speak our faith and live Christ before others. We must pray for others and teach them.

Living by the right motivation

Do you realize that many of the right things you do might be for the wrong reason? Take a job for example. We know that Christians should be known for hard, industrious work. Many people get jobs to be responsible supporters of their families. However, this good thing (working for a living) might be done for the wrong reason (selfishness). Look at what the Bible says:

Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need. (Ephesians 4:28, NKJV)

Consider this: the godly reason for obtaining an income is so that you can help out people in need. Of course, we realize that the Lord wants us to feed our families and such, but how are we different than others if everything we do is only for our own selves?

The problem of rule-making

Ultimately, we do not do righteousness if we are not doing right things by right motives. Helping someone on the side of the road so you can brag about it later is doing the right thing for the wrong reason. Prayer is a good thing. But you are a wicked person if you pray so others will hear you and think you are spiritual.

The old system, the Law of Moses, did not discuss motives much. It did say, “Do not steal!” but did not suggest an alternative good behavior as the new covenant does (“Get a job”). Aside from replacing bad behavior with commendable actions, the new covenant presents us with the proper motive for doing the right thing: instead of taking, give.

The joy of living by right motives

Once you understand the concept of right motives, difficult moral issues (gray areas) become easy to decide. The underlying motive for us is that we do everything to bring glory to God (I Corinthians 6:20). Additionally, we avoid behavior that would damage others (I Co. 8:9, 12). When you live with strong love for God and others, you will not wish to drive away His Spirit by careless living (Ephesians 4:30).

Why should you tell others the truth? Because we are members of each other (Eph. 4:25). Why do you get over your anger issues right away? Because you do not want the devil getting into your life (Eph. 4:27). Why do you speak positive encouragement? Because you want to empower others (Eph. 4:29). Why do you forgive? Because you are a reflection of Christ who forgave you (Eph. 4:32).

Reexamine the choices you make and what motives drive your actions. Study more about spiritual motivation at life2o.org.

While many people flood the shopping malls looking for fancy new clothes, probably no one went searching for old rags to wear to church last Sunday. Some bargain hunters will pay a dollar or even less when they find a piece of good used clothing, but you never give even a cent for shredded clothes or discarded rags. Yet maybe we misunderstand the value of rags.

Ebed-Melech, a court official, found out that conspirators had thrown the prophet Jeremiah into a slime pit.  Fearing for the man’s life, Ebed went to the basement under the king’s treasury.  He dug his way past cobwebs and old newspapers into the room where all the unimportant things were kept.  He burrowed around until he found discarded clothing that even Goodwill couldn’t use.  He carried this pile along with some old rags and threw them down to Jeremiah: Sending down rescue ropes, Ebed told Jeremiah to stuff these rags into his armpits and then put the rope loops under each arm (38:12-13). The softness of the useless clothing and forgotten rags prevented the harsh ropes from cutting into Jeremiah’s arm.

No one is useless to God.  The world might say you are a worthless outcast, but God uses what the world discards.  Feel like just an old rag?  God can use you to lift someone out of the pits.  Think you are too torn and misshapen to be useful again?  The Lord Jesus has a special place you will fit perfectly.

When Jesus came into the world, His mother wrapped him in rags.  Our Lord got a comfortable entrance because of something thought worthless and discarded.  God needs old rags like you and me.

When Jesus left this world, they wrapped His body in old rags.  When Peter and John arrived at the tomb, the first witness they saw to Jesus’ resurrection was these empty strips of ripped-up cloth.  No matter your stains and tears, you can witness to the new life. Regardless of your past, you can bring Jesus to someone.

How many times have you listened to the voice of God?  Did you hear the still small voice telling you to report ALL of your income on the tax form?  Did you hear Him gently telling you to pull out of the family feud?  When He called you to study His Word, did you?  Pray?  Give?  Serve?  Witness?

A young boy had the bad habit of telling his mom, “Just a minute.”  Mom grew frustrated with this lazy tendency.  That little phrase kept him from dumping the trash on time, made him miss the bus a couple times, and once even caused the dog to go without food or water until supper time.  One day, this child was out playing in the big tree in the backyard and his mother told him to come in and wash up for dinner.

“Just a minute, Mom,” he called back.

She let the screen door slam behind her as she groaned at his indifference to her commands.  Back at the kitchen window, she watched him crawl through the lower branches like a monkey.  Her blood began to boil as she watched him carry on like she didn’t exist.  He pulled a little stunt by hanging upside down by his knees.  Suddenly, she saw panic come over the child’s face as he fought to pull himself back up but couldn’t.  Afraid he might fall on his head he cried out, “Mom!  Help!”

Mom started to run out the door, then seeing that he wasn’t much more than a couple feet off the ground, she opened the window and called out, “Just a minute, Son.”  After she got him down a few minutes later, he was miraculously cured of his just-a-minute habit.

God calls to humanity.  “But they refused to hearken, and… stopped their ears …Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts” (Zechariah 7:11, 13). 

If it feels God can’t hear you, check to see if you are hearing Him.

When is the best time to pray?

Jesus got away to pray early in the morning. At times, He would pray late at night and even pray all night long. He got away from His disciples and from the needy crowds to have time alone in prayer (Mark 1:35; 6:46; 14:34-35; Luke 6:12). You need to find the best time for you to pray undistracted and wide awake.

Tony Bailey teaches the best time of the day to pray is the Nautical Hour. This is the time of day, just before sunrise, when sailors can still see the stars yet also see the horizon as the sun comes close to appearing. The stars give a sailor his bearings at night so he can track where he is going. The sunlight gives him awareness of where he has been. The nautical hour is the one time of day when the sailor can see both where he has been and where he is going. Early morning prayer is all about seeing where you have been and getting a sense of where you are going.

No matter where the sun is when you pray, you need a place where you can focus and be yourself before the Lord. When I pray, I need a place where I can be loud if I need to or just listen to the Lord without distraction. Often I pray in the living room first thing in the morning, where I can cry out to God without waking anyone, pace the floor, sing, or read the Scriptures. I believe prayer should be a creative expression of the personality God gave you. If you are a quiet person, don’t feel like you have to be loud. If you are a loud person in life, be the same in prayer. Don’t muzzle yourself into someone else’s mold.

How long should I pray?

To be effective, you need to be sincere, not just a long time at prayer. That said, it is hard to be deep in prayer without being before the Lord for a considerable time. I do not think you can have a powerful walk with God on 15-20 minutes of prayer each day, although that is a good place to start. Here is the story of one young man learning how to pray deeply:

When Ralph arrived in Chicago, his sister, Adelade, and her friend, Ethel Mulloy, had arranged for him a room with a hard-of-hearing landlady. “You can room here, Ralph. Pray as long and as loud as you like.  You won’t disturb anyone,” Sister Mulloy explained. So Ralph began to preach in Chicago at a black church on State Street.

One morning Sister Mulloy asked him, “Brother Cook, do you ever pray?”

“Oh, yes,” Ralph answered. “I pray.” And he did. Many times he had quite a good prayer experience.

“I want to tell you something, Brother Cook,” Sister Mulloy continued. “There is another experience that you need to have. It is called ‘waiting on the Lord.’ Tomorrow morning before you come down for breakfast, when you get through with your prayer, I want you to stay on that floor for one hour. Don’t come down for breakfast until you have spent one hour on that floor. When you run out of things to say, just sit there and wait on the Lord.”

Well, that was a very trying experience for Ralph. He really did not see the need for it. But every time he started to get up and go down for breakfast, he remembered Sister Mulloy’s admonition.

“Sister Mulloy is a very godly woman. After all, she had been a call girl in Sacramento, California, but God has forgiven her and filled her with the Holy Ghost. I had better finish the hour. O Lord, You know I do want to do Your will in my life!”

Every second dragged. The minutes crept by. All sorts of thoughts passed through his mind. But he stayed the full hour. He kept praying for the will of God for his life.

Every morning he went through the same ritual. He spent ten or fifteen minutes in anointed, fervent prayer and the rest of the hour was almost torture. But he sat on the floor faithfully waiting until the hour was over. After two weeks of this hour-long morning prayer and wait, the Spirit of the Lord came upon him. He lay on the floor, he praised the Lord, he sang, he spoke in tongues. He was bathed in floods of the joy of the Lord. Thus began a lifelong habit of an hour of prayer each morning in the life of Ralph Cook. “I believe God wants me to pray at least an hour a day,” Ralph thought. And as the years passed, he knew that this daily prayer time was God’s will for him.[1]

So, how long should you pray? I would reserve at least an hour each day for the Lord. Many servants of God do much more than this, though prayer is not like a job where you clock in and out. This is not time served, but a Savior served. Early morning hours of prayer prepare your heart for a state of worship and communication with the Lord all day long.

What should I pray about?

Jesus did not just pray to be our role model. He prayed because He needed it. He had to pray to keep His human will in submission to the divine will. Do you pray until your desires die and you only want the same things God desires? Too many of us are guilty of praying to try to change God’s will to fit ours!

Prayer is the expression of your inner soul. If you love Jesus, then worship and tell Him how great He is. If you are fearful, then let Him know and ask for His help. If you need wisdom, then ask for it. Tell Him about the lost souls you are trying to reach. Ask Him to soften hearts of your loved ones so they will accept His favor. Repent of your sins and let God cleanse you as you overcome temptation and learn to live holy, blameless, and pure in spite of a wicked world. Ask Him for what you need and thank Him for providing before He even answers.

The most important thing to learn in prayer is how to worship. Perfect this and your life will fill with joy and an overwhelming sense of purpose.

“…that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory” (Romans 9:23, NKJV)

I have been to a lot of churches that were full of hype. Some talk incessantly about how does a church have revival. I have been to some that were dead and stale. I have visited a few that were driven by ego and arrogance. I can remember visiting a handful of churches that were dramatically different. In these congregations, a sweet presence of God hung in the air with the richness of thick honey.

What makes a power-filled church

Last week the Lord led me to look at the honeybee for an example of how believers should draw sweetness out of people all around them. This weekend, He spoke to me that we should do the same toward Him. We do this through prayer—that is the key behind how a church has revival.

Prayer is not just repenting of our sin or asking for things. Prayer is an opportunity to draw on the sweetness of God’s presence. Sometimes it is easy to find fault with God. The little old lady who knows how to pray down the power of God has learned to seek out His good points and dwell on those by worship. As she does that, you can see His nature form in her life. Fill a church with people like this and you will have revival naturally.

How a church is to have revival

Honeybees draw nectar out of flowers and basically chew it until it thickens into a paste called honey. They produce way more than their hive could use in a year so that others can be fed as well. True prayer warriors do not just get a “fix” of God’s pleasantness, they bring back enough that the whole church can feed on it. This is the difference between what we call “a revival church” and the average one.

You might be able to taste the sweetness of God’s presence with just a few minutes in prayer, but prayers that linger an hour or more are prayers that cultivate something others can feed on. If your church and mine are going to offer the honeycomb of the Holy Spirit, it is going to take more than a great preacher. We need a whole colony of workers connecting with the Creator and providing a place for those without Him to be revived and energized.

What makes a church a game-changer

Most people come to church to get a little dab of God’s presence during worship service, a little morsel of manna during the preaching, and perhaps a dollop of gossip on the front steps after service. Powerful churches have a core of people who are honey makers. Many times these are elderly people who give themselves to hours of prayer each day. These people get in the presence of God and savor Him. They bring something to the hive, so to speak, that others can feed on.

I have been reexamining my prayer life. It has to be more than just a list I pray through each day. I must do more than just repent and beg for stuff. I want to seek out the goodness of the Lord. I must talk to Him about how wise He is, how faithful He is, how generous He is, and how holy He is. I want to talk about the joy He brings, the love He puts in my soul, and the patience He is developing in me.

The church does have revival when people pray

As I pray for my family in Christ and my lost loved-ones, I want to call down His character into their lives. I want His peace to be with that young mother taking her little girl in for surgery; I want His wisdom to be with my brother looking for work; I want His love to be with that child stuck in a home by court order; I pray His joy over that young family whose daddy/husband is being deployed.

If my children will know the depths of faith in Christ, I must feed them with more than sugar-water by talking about when the church did have revival. Most Christian homes today do not even have a scent of God’s sweetness. The only difference between them and other families is that they go to church. I do not want my children or friends just copying my religion. I want them to learn how to develop a golden flow of the richness in Christ through prayer and worship.

This is how the church has revival: by praying, fasting, and worshiping until God’s power and presence fills the house with sweetness. Then you will not be able to keep away those who are hungry for Him. I feel like going somewhere and praying right now.

“Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!” (Romans 11:33, NKJV)

First, do no harm

The bee lives to make honey. In doing this, she never cuts a single leaf, never eats another bug, and can accomplish her life’s mission without damaging, killing, or harming anything or anyone. The honeybee extracts sweetness and makes the world more fruitful and lush. What a way to live.

Too many of us survive off of the faults we find in others: complaints about customer service, disgust with politicians, and finding faults in our children, parents and other relatives. Rather than be like docile honeybees, we become mad hornets buzzing through life seeking what we may devour.

I want it to be my goal to not do any harm. I want to draw out the best in others. Rather than point out someone’s faults, obvious or not, I want to see the good in him or her. The honeybee has to dig pretty deep sometimes to find the sweet nectar in a plant. Some plants are ugly and you would never think anything good could come from it. What if you became as thorough in your approach to all of God’s creation and draw out every little drop of sweetness in each person you know, no matter how gnarly and scarred he may be?

Bees pollinate about 80% of our fruits and vegetables. If all bees died off, we would starve. As the bee digs out the nectar from each flower, it picks up the pollen which fertilizes the next one. Fruit and seeds form as a side effect of this little insect’s daily habit. What would the world be like if our living consisted in finding others’ greatness? Would your friends and family be more fruitful, more productive in their callings and life purposes if you just dug at their qualities?

Harmony in the hive

The honeybee cannot exist alone. It has to have the colony in the hive to survive. While a close examination of the honeybee reveals that it is a lot like any other insect, the bee colony functions as a whole and takes on the characteristics of a full-size animal: it stores up energy (honey), has an emergency response system (like sensory nerves), communicates messages from the queen to the colony (like a brain sending messages to the muscles), and the bees attack together when they face trouble.

The body of Christ should be like the honeybee colony: no one can exist alone, we each have our individual jobs, we pray together, worship together, grow together, and encourage each one in his or her individual calling. The Spirit, our queen of the hive, should lead us into all truth and righteous living. We should the church defend against outside invaders and evil influences.

A home should function like this, as well. Rather than the queen of the house just barking out orders or griping at the kids, the family should work for one goal and produce enough sweetness for others to harvest and feed on.

When a hive gets overcrowded, part of the colony will swarm. The queen prepares another queen to replace her and then leaves the hive with many of the bees. They go off to another location to start a whole new colony. The old hive follows the leadership of the new queen and life goes on. Churches should do this as well. Rather than just build a bigger and bigger hive, we need to send out groups of people to plant new churches in other communities. I am not sure the biblical goal is for us to break the Guinness book of records for having the largest church. The gospel spreads fastest by being available in many cities and neighborhoods. Perhaps church splits are a negative thing that could be turned into a positive thing. It is simply time for a swarm to leave the mother brood and bring sweet fruitfulness to another location. These things must be done with love and humility, not a spirit of rebellion.

When you must hurt others

Honeybees can hurt, though. If threatened, bees are designed to attack with their stingers. This fatal defense mechanism really does no harm, however. There is a wide difference between hurting someone and harming her. The bee’s stinger does not kill, it only causes pain for a moment. Sometimes you have to say something painful or make a decision which will leave someone unhappy with you. Temporary discomfort can be healthy. Permanent injury is not.

If you must hurt someone, do it for the right reasons. Any hurts done in the wrong spirit only create harm. Do not just say or do things for the sake of getting back at someone. Anything hurtful must be considered carefully if it will be better in the long run. Punishing your child might be such a situation. Speaking to your spouse about a destructive habit may be another.

Overall, however, you and I can learn a lot from the humble honeybee. Let’s live in a non-damaging way. Let’s hunt out the sweetness in others. Let’s make the world more abundant and fruitful as we direct our energies toward our calling and not our carnality. Rather than finding fault with others, let’s dwell on what is pure, peaceful, and of good report. You will be amazed at how your world blossoms in response.

You already have a prayer list

Many mornings I will sit down and write out an agenda for the day. This little list stays with me through the day as I check of each item in order of accomplishment. Often, I even jot down things I need to talk to someone about and will even sketch out priorities for a conversation. If I can do that for people and things, I should do it to maximize my time with the Lord, too.

One day I realized that I already had a daily prayer list I could follow: my list of contacts on my phone. Some of my contacts even have pictures—a great thing for right brain people. Praying for the people that matter in my life can be as simple as scrolling through that list of names. Perhaps for you it is your list of Facebook friends or contacts in another social network. Pray for them each day. You can do more than just “like” them or retweet them. Pray.

Your list for thanks

You also have a list to guide you when you thank God for what He has done. Open up your checkbook and pray through the register of spent checks. You can thank Him for providing those funds. Or perhaps this will be a cause for you to repent as you see areas where you did not honor the Lord with your money. If you do not use a checkbook, your online bank card record or credit card spending log could be your prayer list for both thanks and repentance. Lists such as these will prompt you to pray about the needs you have most and perhaps you will not depend on Visa, MasterCard, or Discover to solve them anymore.

Praise and worship lists

In the front of my study Bible, there is a list of the attributes of God. What a simple way to get started telling Him how great He is and how much I love Him. Another way of spending quality time in worship comes by praising through the alphabet. This handy list will propel you into discussing the intricacies of God’s nature instead of just dwelling on the details of your dilemmas. “A” means He is always there. “B” stands for His boldness. “C” is for the cross where He took my sin…. Get creative with this list when talking to your Creator.

The greatest thing is having your name on His list.

If we were justified for bombing Germany because of the holocaust, then we either need someone to bomb us be cause of abortion or we need to stop ourselves from this criminal behavior.

Since Americans will not stand up against the wickedness of our own government, we need a foreign power to punish us. I hate war and oppose terrorism, but there were times when God has used war to punish a sinful nation. God once used ancient Iraq (then called Babylon) to punish His people for their evil (read Jeremiah, Isaiah, and Ezekiel detailing the approval of God on King Nebuchadnezzar’s siege against Jerusalem and the deportation of the country’s citizens). So, why do I believe we need a day of reckoning with a foreign power?

If Obama is Hitler, then we are like Nazi murderers

I do not know of many people who think we should have let Germany continue killing Jews. Most people wish we could have stopped them before things got out of control. Millions and millions of boys, girls, mothers, fathers, leaders, and inventors were gassed or shot, burned or buried. That country and their leader deserved to pay for their crime. America does, too.
How is Obama like Hitler? Because today, we are not only practicing a legal massacre, but we are promoting it around the world as well. America has already killed five times as many boys, girls, mothers, fathers, leaders, and inventors as the holocaust. We are killing them in the womb. First we permitted it, now we fund it. Soon, we will demand it like China does. We now refuse aide to other countries unless they also practice this.

Take responsibility or get retribution

If we do not turn our nation around, someone else will. Already there are signs of God lifting off His hand of favor from our country. Obama is not our problem, although he has pushed abortion further than any President yet. American people who do not care are our problem.
Will we sit around and vote for our pocketbooks and more earned income credit? Will we prioritize politics and personality over righteousness?
God’s people must hold their leaders accountable as did Jesus, John the Baptist, and Paul. Or just sit back and let Him do it the hard way. I do not want war on our soil, but something must be done to stop our criminal murder of innocent human beings.
