The decline and fall of the modern religious right's notion of a Christian America creates a calmer political environment and, for many believers, may help open the way for a more theologically serious religious life.

Daniel 7:25-27
He will speak words against the Most High and oppress the holy ones of the Most High. He will intend to change religious festivals and laws, and the holy ones will be handed over to him for a time, times, and half a time. But the court will convene, and his dominion will be taken away, to be completely destroyed forever. The kingdom, dominion, and greatness of the kingdoms under all of heaven will be given to the people, the holy ones of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will serve and obey Him.’ (HCSB)
Jon Meacham, one of the many pagan writers for Newsweek magazine, also had this to say about Christian views of the Word of God, this quote was most telling on the witness of today’s church. “The orthodox tend to try to live their lives in accordance with the general behavioral principles of the Bible (or at least the principles they find there of which they approve.)”
Are we giving pagans fuel for the fire? Are we as Christians giving the world that desires to destroy all moral consensuses, and live without guilt slicing their consciences over their actions, the tools to destroy that which we claim we love? I’m afraid so. Don’t misunderstand, the world will always find ways to condemn what God declares right, to justify their wrong, but we don’t need to be helping them.
In the political climate, and increasingly confused spiritual world that we live in, it is increasingly important that we live the Truth. The Court will convene one day, and all of the worlds opinions of our God will be called in for examination. But, for today, their quizzes should come early as they examine our lives and see living examples of walking Truth…God Bless.
