I'm convinced God has knuckles of concrete and the thump to back it up.

Sober up, you drunks!
Get in touch with reality—and weep!
Your supply of booze is cut off.
You're on the wagon, like it or not.
My country's being invaded
by an army invincible, past numbering,
Teeth like those of a lion,
fangs like those of a tiger.
It has ruined my vineyards,
stripped my orchards,
And clear-cut the country.
The landscape's a moonscape.

… The whole country is burning up.

Joel 1:5-7, 20

I would love to write an essay using this scripture to parallel what is going on politically in this country. I was raised in a family where political conversation and debate usually ranked number one above all else. So, as my political upbringing naturally tries to manifest itself into my relationship with Jesus, I have to fight the urge to apply the word of God to politics.

Why?

Why not apply God’s infallible word to our political scene?

After all, I wrote a book applying HIS Word to my life.

Well, let’s try this:

I’m writing a “Christian” book about porn. I’ve done the research…if you call drowning and emotionally killing myself with pornography for fifteen years research.

I’ve defiled myself and sinned against God.

I’ve witnessed some of the most horrible acts capable by human beings.

So you know what I’m gonna do with it?

I’m gonna apply God’s story to our story which is HIS story in the first place.

There is real pain out there.

There are real people suffering right outside my front door.

And no matter what the WORLD has to say about it, there is a REAL CURE.

Jesus Christ is The Cure.

There's nothing done or said that can't be forgiven.

Mark 3:28

I have finally “sobered” up and I’m getting in touch with reality.

I will concern myself with spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

People need to know that Jesus Christ was actually born.

Jesus Christ actually lived a perfect life.

Jesus Christ was actually unjustly tried and beaten.

Jesus Christ was crucified.

Jesus Christ died for our sins.

Jesus Christ arose.

Jesus Christ lives!

Jesus Christ loves us no matter what.

If you preach, just preach God's Message, nothing else;

Romans 12:6

God has shown me that my story is His story, he has just allowed me to put pen to paper. As HE continues to allow me to write, I need to remember: I am HIS, and what I do is for HIM.

The focus is to spread The Word. Stop worrying about religious boundaries and political correctness. Jesus died a bloody, painful, horrific death so that we can live our lives how we wish to live them.

As for me…I’m a soldier(2 Timothy 2:3). The word of God tells us that “the whole country is burning up”, not because of the political landscape but because the face of our nation and our world is on fire with hell on earth and we are focused on a bunch of bullshit.

We are charged with orders to invade the depths of hell and we have refused.

I want to tell people about Jesus.

I will tell people about jesus.

“If you love Me, Keep my commandments”

“This is My commandment, that you love on another as I have loved you.”

John 15:12

“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.”

Mark 16:15

"Are you listening to me? Really listening?
