Falling Through the Cracks

I am a big believer in the 2nd Amendment, but what would our country look like if Christians made as strong of a stand for the 1st Amendment right of free exercise of religion. What if, over the decades, every time we saw our Christian beliefs in public schools replaced with things that are in direct opposition to those beliefs, we protested until it was corrected? What if every time we saw policies written to expand abortion, we absolutely shut this country down until it was corrected? What if every time we saw policies written to appease very small minorities, such as transgender policies concerning minors, we used our position in the majority until it was corrected? What if Christians really believed what the Bible says and voted as if they did? The answer is our country would be in a far different place than it is now. A United States standing on the foundation of Christianity could never lose its freedom, but we Christians have failed this country and allowed that foundation to be cracked and now we will see our freedoms fall through those cracks. When I say we Christians, I am looking at myself in the mirror. Very seldom do I post scriptures, but I think the following scriptures not only shows the stand we should be, and should have been, making, but can also be used as a history lesson to explain the fall of our country.

Romans 1:18-32

18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles. 24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. 26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. 28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
