Nero!!! put those matches down!

Today I was reading some scripture from II john. It told about the antichrists in the world...... and I said wait a minute?!?!?!? ANTICHRISTS!!! as in PLURAL?!?!? what is this that I missed.... but honestly, it didn't mess with my head all that much. I mean look at Hitler, Caligula....I think we have seen some people who were anti christ in this world we live in...
Nevertheless, it got my mind spinning off into all sorts of directions and I realized that even though there is going to be an "Arch Nemesis" of God called the "Antichrist" there are plenty of things in this world that are against Christ.
Heck there are a bunch or "radical" Muslims that want to kill us all.. But if I read it right, I need to be on the gaurd for the Not-so- Radical.... Because it says: ( II John 2: 22;23) "²²Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist—he denies the Father and the Son. ²³No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also."
So anyone who denies the son will not reach the father and I hear a lot of plain ole regular Muslim folk, Budist folk, Hindu folk, etc.... talking God, but not JESUS.......
Ok....I have to tell you that I probably rank George W. Bush up there with your  Reagans and Lincolns as one of the best Presidents of all times. Why would I tell you this? Because if I haven't got the Left all heated up saying JESUS is the only way, I'll gladly throw a Bush on the fire;) LOL!! Seriously, I bring it up, because of a quote our President used when he said, "You are either with us or you"re against us!" I like that kind of (in your face) line in the sand type of talk. It's brutally honest, and like him or hate him, Mr. Bush, was an honest and honorable man.
Bringing the topic back to the Antichrist, I'll ask:" Who haven't I offended?" It doesn't matter, because this is simply a matter of "You are with us or Against us." We know the bible talks about the spiritual warfare. We know the analogies of the old man, yadayadayada.... But I think we get too comfortable in this world sometimes. We watch tv that pushes homosexuality as a perfectly reasonable, respectable, alternative to tradition. They tell us that killing a baby is a very natural and acceptable way to discardl our unwanted consequences or parts of a woman's body. It's like murder is simply a right the government should hand out to everyone..
They tell us these thing every day, all day. As loud as they possibly can. And if you don't agree, you are branded a hater, a bigot, a misogynist, Might as well put a swastika on your arm and find a white hood.... But wait a minute?!?!? Can you please explain to me, how we have come to the place where the "unchurched" for lack of better terminology is willing to believe the liberal atheist over the word of God????
Just like the days of old, maybe we need to start remembering what living a life holy unto God meant. Don't shoot me now, I'm just saying. Maybe we need to check ourselves. Listen to what we are hearing on the radio, pay attention to what we watch on TV and experience through the web. Because the devil is STILL a lion roaming to and fro, seeking whom he may devour! Little by little the compromises have been made because the flow of the world has become like the waves of an ocean. For all the good these little computers and this technology brings, they also brings stimuli to every sense we have in a way that has never been seen in the history of the world, and every litle compromise becomes bigger and bigger! Now making the walk we are trying to walk and the life we are trying to control harder to walk and harder to control!!!!!
Sin is everywhere. "Rampant" is a better word . I often wonder how much worse Sodom and Gomorrah truly were?
This is bad, you say?!? WAIT!!!!! It's worse than that! you see as the world gets stronger, the church has been getting weaker and weaker. There are alot of folks who walk into a christian church on sunday and never hear the plan of salvation. I'm not kidding. For some people, church is where the prim and proper go on Sunday morning. They see the other wonderful pillars of the community, and fellowship all the while never even thinking about what Christ went through so they could be saved. They think they are christians by baptism, by heritage.....and all the while the world roars!The waves keep lapping onto the shore.... Louder and louder! stronger and stronger, more and more insistent and permeable!!!! Even Correct by political standards......
Many of those church going folk will now tell you that if you think homosexuality is a sin, you are a Horrible misguided sop of a person! You are an Evangelical, or a Holy Roller or listen to this.....a "Radical" christian....... Hey weren't we talking about Radical Muslims not that long ago?!?!?
I believe the devil is enjoying those radical muslims so much, because if you listen to even the "fair and balanced" newscasts, you'll notice that terrorists only come from the radical muslim sects, not the good god fearing everyday kind who just follow their religion to be better people just like us christians...
Has it ever occurred to you that the AGENDA of the world is to prepare the ordinary "good" person to accept that the radical christian who isn't nice enough to let John and Ken get married and would rather poor Missy have to carry that baby to term  than do the right thing and abort it is the ENEMY.........so antichrists plural?!?!? maybe one antichrist agenda that's been around since Nero set a fire in Rome and blamed it on the Christians........

I know I need to constantly be on guard because the devil would like me to seek out the pleasure the world has to offer. He would like to see the ebb and flow of the waves slowly wash away the part of me that knows right from wrong. He wants to deceive me into believing that it's ok... not that bad. "Heck not anywhere as bad as all those other people!".... But don't be decieved because one sin is the same as another..... that being said I had better just keep on walking. I don't want to stop and see what the AGENDA has to offer today, thank you very much!!!
