There was a special on CNN today about American Christians. It appeared the show tried to suggest that Born-Again Christians are some kind of cult, that refuse to accept anyone that does not believe exactly as they do and are not tolerant of other beliefs and are motivated to con people into joining them.

One part of this is true. The truly born-again Christian cannot accept that there is any other way to heaven than through Jesus the Christ. It is not the believer saying this, it is Jesus Himself when He said:

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." [John 14:6 ]

And this passage showing there is only one way:

"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;" [1Ti 2:5]

There is only one way to God and that is the point. No minister or church can change that fact, Jesus said it, and only God can change it.

Now the real question, can a religion be true if the people of that religion can adjust it to fit their desires or the times? Not unless they are God!

It was nice to see that family had raised their children in the faith. The children told it like it is, that there is only one way to God and that Jesus came to pay the price for your sin and that through Him and only Him, you can be saved. Out of the mouth of babes!

To me this show is more of a thermometer showing just how small the fence is that some people are sitting on. The fence is getting smaller and soon, the fence will be gone and people will have to choose just where they belong. More on that another time.

It was nice to see the Christians on the show standing up for the faith!

I was browsing some of the blogs and RSS search engines looking for good Christian content. Trying to find something that is promoting the power of God along with a need for Holiness. Just anything with a hunger for God.

I spent a quite awhile looking through many of the search results. I looked with sadness and at times horror as I browsed through those results, finding time-and-time again, people with hate towards Christianity and God, with blasphemy on almost every page. Then even more horrifying was the number of so-called Christians that spent their time only tearing apart all those who are out trying to do the work or trashing entire denominations and announcing that they were evil and from the devil simply because they have different doctrines or there is just something about they did not like about the denomination.

After all this searching, it made me wonder where are all the people who defend Christianity, who believe in the power and gifts of God, that boldly proclaim salvation can only be found in the name of Jesus, that there is forgiveness? Oh, I know many do exist out there, but it seems as if there are only a few compared to the number of people flocking out there to cause destruction.

While I would love to have the Rapture take place tomorrow, I have to hope it is not for a time yet. There are so many people yet to reach. Many of these have been hurt in some way to bring such hard feelings on them. In addition, all those others that claim to be Christians, but do not appear to have anything resembling God in them. It is just a bit overwhelming when you see a search result of 2,000 links and only one or two have any real appearance of God.

They have to be reached some how! We must get to the throne of God and receive the power and holiness to reach these people! Time, I know is short, and there is a lot to accomplish! It is time for the Awakening…
