We are about five and a half months into Obama's presidency, and still I have heard no outcry. Our President and our Congress continue to snatch our freedoms out from under us, and yet there is no protest.
The government taxes the life out of us (I will point out here that it is taxation without representation), and we say nothing.
Illegal immigrants are shown more and more amnesty; they are stealing American jobs, homes, and income, and we say nothing.
The government is doing everything it can to take away our gun rights, and we say nothing.
The government is taking away our religious freedom and WE SAY NOTHING!
I will add here that complaining to those around you means absolutely nothing to those in power, because they can't—and refuse to—hear you!! Whining to your neighbors about how awful things are is not going to make a difference. There have been many TEA Parties held throughout the country, but to be perfectly honest, I don't think they're going to make much of a difference. So what if a bunch of senators or representatives get a lot of tea bags in the mail? I would guess that they either go directly into the garbage and are forgotten, or are donated somewhere, and the politicians are deemed as heroes for using something meant as "slander" (in their eyes) for good. WAKE UP AMERICA!!! The only thing that will have any lasting effect on the government is a multitude of boiling angry, righteously confident, and armed American citizens storming the Capitol and White House screaming "WE WANT OUR COUNTRY BACK!!! EITHER GIVE IT TO US NOW, OR WE'LL TAKE IT BACK THROUGH ANOTHER REVOLUTION!" If we are unhappy and dissatisfied with the way Congress is running the country, WHY DO WE KEEP RE-ELECTING THEM?! Come on America; get your war gear on and TAKE THIS COUNTRY BACK!
Worse than this, though, is the state of apathy in the American church. I am saddened and deeply angered at the lack of voice in the Church.
Rick Warren is supposed to speak at an Islamic convention, and we say nothing.
Joel Osteen promotes his Becoming a Better You and Your Best Life Now teachings (which are un-Biblical), and we say nothing.
People like Todd Bentley are popping up everywhere, making people believe that their satanic rituals (such as individually communicating with "personal angels") are Christian, and we say nothing.
Heresies are spreading, and false Christs are being preached day in and day out, and WE SAY NOTHING!
Where is the outcry? Where is the indignation? I know I'm probably offending some people by saying these things, and by naming names the way I do. I offer no apologies. Jesus said to watch out for wolves in sheep's clothing, and that we would know them by their fruit. Well, I have seen their fruit: thousands of "Christians" who believe the "Say this prayer and Jesus will solve all your problems and make your life wonderful" lie; "Christians" who whole-heartedly support the world's definition of tolerance; "Christians" who revert back to their old ways as soon as the going gets tough (seeds on rocky soil). Not only is it harder to witness to a false convert, but these heresies are spreading throughout the true church and causing true Christians to believe lies. WAKE UP, YOU PEOPLE OF GOD! Church, we need to rise up with righteous anger! This nation needs to hear Christians from Seattle down to Miami screaming "THIS IS THE ONE TRUE JESUS CHRIST, AND THERE IS NO OTHER NAME BY WHICH MEN CAN BE SAVED!!!" Tear down the walls of deception; shatter the chains of the false witnesses; RISE UP CHURCH! Jesus said the day of His return would come like a thief in the night; and right now, America is far from ready for that day.
United States of America
Looks like another silent night
As we're sung to sleep by philosophies
That save the trees and kill the children
And while we're lying in the dark
There's a shout heard 'cross the eastern sky
For the Bridegroom has returned
And has carried His bride away in the night
America, what will we miss while we are sleeping
Will Jesus come again
And leave us slumbering where we lay
America, will we go down in history
As a nation with no room for its King
Will we be sleeping

Michael Jackson died today; yet where is the weeping? Certainly not in the Christian circles; all I hear there is "Good riddance." NO! People, that is NOT how we should respond. Another precious soul was very likely lost to the enemy today, and all you can say is "good riddance?!" That is not the heart of God. His heart breaks over every soul that doesn't repent and turn to Him. Our heart should shatter every time His does; WHERE IS THE HEARTACHE? WHERE IS THE BURNING PASSION TO BRING EVERYONE TO THE FEET OF JESUS? WHERE IS THE WEEPING OVER THE LOST SOULS? Why do we refuse to let our voices be heard; to let our lights shine through the darkness? WAKE UP, YOU PEOPLE OF GOD! Put on your armor and FIGHT against the powers of darkness! Let God remove your heart of stone and put in its place a heart of flesh! Teach those around you to discern good and evil. Rejoice when a sinner repents and clings to Jesus. Weep when someone is lost to the enemy. BREAK OUT OF YOUR APATHY AND PROUDLY BEAR THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST!
