Wake up call for Christians

How can any Christian with half a conscience support abortion, Planned Parenthood, or the attempt to redefine marriage? How could Obama claim to be a Christian when he gives a speech about choice at a Planned Parenthood event? I think Obama is whack. He is just pandering to people of faith to get thier vote. Obama claiming to be a Christian is like the way the "Christian" slave holders used the Bible to justify slavery or the flaming homo bishops in the Episcopalian church saying that it is okay to lead a church and be openly and unabashedly gay. Homosexuality is sin. God loves them, but their behavior is not okay. No one with known sin in their live should be in a leadership position in a diocese or a church. That goes for adultery and fornication as well as homosexuality, so I am not just singling out gays here. Obama also suppoorts perverting what is meant by God to be a covenant between one man and one woman into lesbian and gay marriage. There was once a time when there was prayer in the public school system, and after it got taken out, presto! We got one heck of a gang and drug problem where kids bring guns to school and do things like Virginia Tech and Columbine. Even PSU has an official pro-choice position on the issue of sexuality, as well as an infection of secular humanisim in academia. The schools teach a watered down US history where they claim that the founding fathers were a bunch of atheists. That is not true. Washington was often seen on his knees praying and most of them wrote letters to each other affirming faith in God. Thanks to this misconception that "separation of church and state" is found in the first ammendment, groups like Americans for the Separation of Church and State sue anyone who starts a bible club in a high school or erects a nativity display in a public place. This is just whack. Secular Humanism, which is actually classified as a religion has become the defacto state religion of America. It is about time for Christians to wake up and take a good hard look around at what is going on. These secular humanistic fundamentalists can be just as dogmatic in their beleifs as a jihadist who blows themself up on an Israelli bus or a communist like Stalin who murdered half the Russian population. Oh, and the Chi Guverra guy that I always see on t-shirts personally executed scores of people.

Jesus' love working through Christians Drew me to Jesus

Before I knew the Lord, I was depraved. I was into the occult, wicca to be exact. I was a chronic LSD and pot user and I wanted witchcraft to be the official religion of the USA and Christianity overthrown. I then met an autistc girl who was a Christian who told me that Jesus loves everyone and that He wants to have a relationship with me. At the time, I thought God hated me and was waiting for me to die so he can send me to hell to roast forever. My autistic friend told me that God loves me and does not want me to go to hell - that all I have to do is ask for his forgiveness and turn from sin. I did so, and soon after I joined a small street church that encouraged and loved me as well as taught and prayed for me. I was a member of that church for two years and I still have relationships with those people. This was not my image of Christians that I thought. I thought Christians wanted to bomb abortion clinics, turn the middle east into glass and hang gay people from trees. These Christians I knew were loving.

When I started fall term at PSU, I joined a church that did outreach on campus. We meet on campus and it is another small loving church where everyone knows each other. This is ideal for me, because those megachurches are just too big to be personal. Small churches are better to form loving relationships in.

All too often, Chistians will preach a "turn or burn" message to people. This message, one that I have heard many times, offered me little hope. It never worked to bring me to Jesus - it did the opposite. Christians who loved me unconditionally drew me to Jesus - not someone trying to scare me out of hell.

Jesus did not come to scare us. He did not come to condemn us either. He came to love us and save this world.
