#17: "Holy Ghost, Batman," it's American Church Time

Didja ever wonder why there's going to be a loud shout and trumpet blast when Christ returns? (Other than that it's gonna be a REALLY AWESOME audio/visual effect)...It's designed so that Christians FINALLY all show up on time for the scheduled event!!

When you ask Christians for help, why do you get the reply, 'I'll pray about it?'...Wouldn't it be more Biblical to "let your 'no' be 'no'?!!" (cf. Matthew 5:37)

Just what in the name of my great Aunt Lizzie's hair bun does it mean to 'pray harder'? If Jesus loves us as the Father loves Him (John 15:9) and we have the Holy Spirit cleaning up our inadequate prayers (Romans 8:26), and we have Jesus praying for us at God's right hand (Romans 8:34), and the Father knows your need already (Mt. 6:8), why are we to bust a spiritual gut to arm wrestle God to our point of view? Why not 'ask according to His will' and expect results?!!

If you want to 'do God's will' and to 'be filled with the Spirit' (Ephesians 5:17-21) should you 'Let the Word of Christ richly dwell within you" (Colossians 3:16-17) since both actions produce the same result...singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, making melody in your heart to the Lord?!! Can you believe that seminarians actually get FUSSED with me when I intersperse Scripture with Good Old Boy advice? The nerve of them!!

Is it possible to 'Stand Up, Stand Up For Jesus' as the old hymn says, when you're spineless as a Body? You know what I'm sayin'...don't rock America's boat for fear of being politically incorrect! Forget that 45 million little ones have been killed since Roe v. Wade. Forget that 10 million members are dispersed in over 37,000 independent congregations, known as 'non-denominational', 'community', or some other derivation that means 'we don't want to associate with you'?!! And even worse, forget that when Presbyterians can only agree to disagree and continue on in their feudalistic kingdom building, Jesus gets another black eye and prepares to bring about the American Revival through Persecution!

Ooops...gettin' preachy, ain't I? My Bad.

Got 2 Chronicles 7:13, 14?
