HOW TO CHANGE THE WORLD!
Picture
(Part 3.)

The Problem for Christians Today

It’s easy to blame it on the devil,
It's easy to claim it’s all God's plan.

It's easy to lead when the road is level,
It's easy to love when you're just a fan.

It's hard to sow where the weeds grow,
It's hard to lead when we live in need.

It's hard to face these awful facts,
It's hard to force ourselves to act.

It's hard to live the Christian life,
When we long for ease and avoid the strife.

So our numbers grow smaller and the problems get taller and we kick the can the same ‘ole way and thank the Lord for another day.


Courageous Leadership is our only hope!

If you believe in the way, truth and life of Christ.
If you believe in your own potential in Christ.
If you believe in the God given potential of others.
If you believe, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord”, but “death and destruction is the fate of all the nations who reject God”.

The fate of the future is in your hands!

Whoever you are, wherever you live, whatever your life experience, it’s time to lead.
If you have fallen down, get up and lead.

If others criticize your leadership, lead anyway.
If you’re weak lead the weak.

If your full of self doubt lead the doubters... there are more of us than you think.
If you have never been a leader, start where you are, use what you have and lead.

Once again, if you’re honestly trying to follow Christ, you are called to lead.
Doubting the worth and potential of your leadership is doubting God himself.

If God could use a stuttering coward and murderer like Moses, he can use you!
If God could use an adulterer and murderer like David, he can use you!
If God could use an ex-con like Joseph, a racist like Jonah, a narrow minded bigot like Saul, or a simple fisherman like Peter, he can use you!


Never let the voices of fear and self-doubt prevail. Greater is He in you than anything or anyone!

Christians are not built to be weak .... let us therefore, pursue, promote and embrace the strong ways of Christ in us.

While Government is important and beneficial, we don’t need the government to survive and thrive! We need Christ, and in Christ we are more than able to conquer the obstacles and challenges of life.

Modern enemies of Christ are co-opting the Press, Media, Law, Government the Church, Business and Education. Yes, the fascist left (ideology) is the enemy. We are not making them enemies, they are choosing it for themselves.

If we unite, we can fight the good fight of faith. If we wait until its too late, our children will suffer the “Plight of the Oppressed”.

It will not be the result of God’s will and purpose.

It will not simply be the decadence of our times.

It will not be the strength and manipulation of the godless.

The responsibility for our demise, and the oppression that follows, will rest on the shoulders of Christians who lacked courage and determination to lead!

If we were weak and unable we could be excused, but we are strong and well able, so we are without excuse.

If we lacked sufficient numbers we could be excused, but we are the majority, so we are without excuse

If we were poor and they were rich; if we were uneducated and they were well informed; if we were oppressed and they the oppressors we could take comfort in our circumstances, but the American Christian is the richest best informed and freest community in the history of the world.

The one and only reason America is continuing to plunge into oppression and despair is the failure of Christians to unite and fight for the honor of Christ and the faith preserved for the good of all mankind throughout the ages.

We must lead! Remember, some of us can lead many, some can lead a few, but everyone can lead someone. Leading isn’t a position it is a direction!

Never underestimate yourself!
Never underestimate your potential!
You never know the outcome of your life and witness until you meet Jesus!

God doesn’t need more than you, He just needs all of you.

All God wants and all that is needed, is for you to lead with what you have and who you are, nothing more, nothing less, nothing else!

Be strong and courageous, ...don’t be afraid, for the LORD your God is with you!
Just as God was with Moses, so He will be with you. He will not leave you or forsake you!

Never forget God believes in you and so do I.
