What do I believe?

The link between church and state or theology and culture is so immensely strong in the U.S. it shapes our national identity. If we mess up the religion part it, in turn, messes up our society. While it would be wonderful to have a Government forced to keep the Christian moral code as our founded fathers wanted for us, that sadly isn’t so. People talk about the constitution. It is a separation OF religion, not a separation FROM religion. Liberals like to pick and choose which parts of the constitution to believe and try to form it around the way they think. This simply means you’re making up your own constitution that fits your feelings. Take for example the right to life…we have abortion being not only legal but PAID FOR. If these are truly lives, which you must believe if you’re a Bible believer, then we are in deep trouble.
There is a distinct connection between what we believe and what we do. There has never been an open atheist elected to office for a reason…because we as Americans know they are poor decision makers. If you’re too stupid, in love with yourself, scared to answer to anyone, or any of the many other reasons people don’t believe in a God that is so present you have to look away not to see him, then you obviously can’t see truth if it smacked you in the face.
What can we as Christians learn from this besides how to vote?
You and I can see what happens when we pick and choose what we believe in. If we can see this so clearly, why do we continue to do it? Why do we make up our own religion when we pick and choose what we believe?
This “Catholic” doesn’t believe in Confession, this “Catholic” thinks being a little racist is okay. You and I have to believe in everything or nothing. Either the Bible is true, infallible, love, God, real…or it’s not. Either the Holy Spirit guides our Church, or it doesn’t.
I leave you with this thought – There is one truth and that truth may be different than what we want it to be…we have to accept that truth and put our foolish ideas aside. Do I believe that?
May you grow in the love of Jesus Christ forever
