Uncle Noah Straight Talk

If you have a weak heart, you probably do not want to read this. It is difficult!

Radicals have been emboldened!
   After Californians voted overwhelmingly to reject giving gays the right to marry…gays went to the streets of califonia in a bold effort to overturn the will of the people of California. It is no longer shameful to openly profess an indefensible lifestyle.
   Only 4% of Americans are atheist/agnostic, but they are getting media attention with a clever spoof…Why believe in God…just be good for goodness sake.
   Fortunately, these news stories and others are still news…they are not yet mainstream. But, the climate is right for more, even bolder, unbiblical expressions. Our national leadership is for abortion, non-traditional faith (whatever that means), no personal responsibility and stealing from the rich (unequal taxation) to give to the lazy.
Who is responsible for all this?
    Can we expect anything less from a nation that does not know God? According to a recent religious survey only 16.1 %  of over 35,000 people interviewed attend any religious group regularly. Satan is not burdened down with trivial issues. He is focused on his primary mission…populating Hell! 
    Have we forgotten our primary mission…to glorify God by being coworkers with Him to populate heaven? 
Would this be the analysis of an independent consultant? 
    Based on the record of success, it seems there is general obligatory effort, a lot of time spent micro-managing busy work and a focus on entertaining/pampering members. There is a lot of conversation, but not a lot of effort among the members to grow the organization. There seems to be a repetitive traditionalism that encourages mediocrity. There is lot of talk, but tradition rules.  
    The members spend very little time away from the assemblies studying to improve their contribution to the cause. When they leave the assemblies, most of them will spend endless hours vegetating with television, sports, entertainment, etc. Where personal money is spent is a measure of dedication, sacrifice and passion. Enough said! 
    Leadership has not creatively and affectively demanded passion, sacrifice and loyalty!
    If any competent businessmen had hired these people to grow this organization, there would have been a wholesale layoff a long time ago…and the organization would be bankrupt.
Why does our city, and our country, not know God?
    We have not taken our responsibility and oportunities seriously and radicalism (passion) is good for a few…but I am not one of the few! We have not accepted the fact that we are in a deadly war…and war requires sacrifice. “No one serving as a soldier gets involved in civilian affairs—he wants to please his commanding officer.” (II Tim. 2:4)
    Until responsible/radicalism is restored to the body of the church, my city and my country will not know God any time soon.
    When will we be named with the radicals…teaching the good news of hope?   
    Not anytime soon…is too late!  

Come back soon. We will have positive solutions to reach our cities and nation.
