So I'm not even really sure how to start this. I think I've kind of allowed my many faults and imperfections to be chains that I've allowed to hold me back from speaking up more than I do.

I mean, who am I to speak up for God? There is plenty in my life for others to point out and call me a hypocrite, still I have to speak up. As a Christian it is weighing on my heart heavily. I am more hypocritical if I do not speak up. Yep, I am owning it, but when it comes down to it that's kind of the whole point. I am far from perfect, but have the answer.

Surely, some of you have been witnessing what's going on in the World around us and ask; "why isn't anyone stopping this".

We've got to stop looking at ourselves and start looking to the one who can-God. We shout at the top of our lungs about our right to disobey God, then question where He is.

Well, friends, Our Lord has not moved!

He gives us freedom, but just remember there are consequences to our choices.
We are either for God, or against Him.

We were given His Word because God wants us to know who He is, what broke our relationship with Him, and how to mend it.

Stricken with pride or guilt, many have gone running in the opposite direction. Others desperately cling to Christ, knowing He is our only hope, but are beginning to feel paralyzed.
Any attempt to speak up for God is immediately attacked. To beg people to listen to or read God's Word somehow pegs me as a hater, bigot, or hypocrite.
I'm here to tell you that it's quite the opposite, my friend.
I WANT TO LIFT UP MY VOICE TO BE SURE YOU KNOW OF OUR MIGHTY GOD. He is our only hope!

That's not about living by a certain standard, or "thinking we're better". It's exactly the opposite. It's about humility. It's about me not giving in to every temptation I have; putting God before myself. It's not about me "getting what I deserve"; in fact that's a scary thought. It's about me lifting up and praising my God and asking Him to guide me.

I'm not begging for you to try to live like me.
I am begging for you to acknowledge God. Let's seek Him. He will begin to make the changes that make us capable of overcoming the impossible! He wants us to call on Him- Pray, pick up a Bible, ask questions.

We are in a war-Satan wants to DEVOUR US! He is convincing people that giving in to their weaknesses and living in utter chaos is our only choice. It is not!

We live in a fallen world. None of us are perfect; that's no surprise to God. What grace! It is our sins that separate us from Him, but He willingly sent Christ to die for us as a chance to mend our relationship with Him.
Still He gives us freedom.
We may choose to accept Him or reject Him. Just remember there are consequences to your choices.
We are either FOR GOD, or against Him.

He is our hope! Our Joy!

I love you guys! He loves you more!
