evangelical friends

The Lord sent me and my family to DC for the Inaugural festivities and it was truly incredible. I want to share some observations regarding the 'evangelical' church's response and reactions to the hoopla and Messianic tendencies toward Obama. This is rated 'M' for the mature. :-)As I have been hearing from the Lord, this really is a wake up call for the Church. Could it be this is the Judgment of God, because we have not lovingly presented the real Messiah, Jesus our Lord! Could we have possibly neglected our call to be witnesses to a corrupt generation and because they couldn't see Jesus in us...they have found a Savior in an ideal! The ideals of the World are counterfeit to the blessings of the Kingdom! We, the Church have been given the keys to the Kingdom. As the Church goes...there goes the Land! 2Chronicles 7. The American evangelical church is about to make the wrong mistake she has always done...we are being known as critics instead of Lovers! Instead of criticizing people who we believe are misguided and deceived and instead of operating in defensive mode and depression, Let's live out the Kingdom with passion and reckless abandonment. Let's show America there is a better alternative to the ideals of man. Let's show them Jesus! Speaking negative about what's happening doesn't help people to change their hearts toward the cause of Christ. It makes them more militant. I was among them I know this. The question is where will the church be when this ideal of man's is shattered. When reality sets in that no government, institution or man can save them/us from the coming catastrophes of life (the worship of conservatism shrouded with religion won't save either)...Will we say "I told you so" with an arrogant attitude or will we be like the Father in the prodigal son and welcome them home and give them the best seats at the table.... Cmon evangelical church get over yourself and seek His righteousness not yours....offer His Kingdom not a moral one!And lastly while I'm on my soapbox...I think Jesus would have looked over the sea of humanity and wept! He wouldn't have mocked them or look at them with disdain. He would see a people without a shepherd...and would have compassion on them. Where is the sincere Compassion?!? Are we that angry because a people who never felt a part of this country now are proud to be Americans? A realization that some of us always cherished and revered almost idolized! It was beautiful to hear and see black Americans express a love for this country. No longer feeling invisible but now proud and having a sense of belonging, raising the American flag with reverence and pride. Don't we get it...? That we helped shaped this godlesss atmosphere and environment because the Savior we presented was mean, racists, sexist, blond/blue eyes, condescending and condemning? The most tragic out of all of this is that I saw more hope, more passion, more joy, more diversity and more unity on Inauguration Tuesday than what I see on Sunday mornings in our dry places of worship! Don't blame the 'liberals' on that one...that's our fault! Again, I believe Jesus wouldn't rain on their parade with petty comments, but rather He would love them and rebuke and admonish the evangelical church! The Harvest is plentiful but the Laborers are few. Church of the Living God get up shake the dust off...stop casting stones...stop acting like a sore loser...you have already won! View people with His heart and His eyes. The fields are ready more than ever for Harvest but do you really care?Sincerely and in Love, Devoted Follower of Jesus Christ, Dennis
