When you listen to the news you think it’s all about politics that the world is in such bad shape. When in reality it’s a lack of Jesus is what’s going on that’s feeding the problem.

Here is what Google says about religions: roughly 10,000 separate religions and 84%-85% identifies with a group.

29%-32% identify as Christian. In the United States about 62% of adults identify as Christian, but only about 24% meet specific measures of actively practicing their faith.

The world has always had the freedom of choice to choose God even since the garden of Eden.  Today the freedom of choice is everywhere, the problem is today with so many different views some want to force their beliefs on others, that’s where it is no longer freedom. It could be summed up as a factory that employs only bosses and no workers, sooner or later someone will have to assume the role of worker if the factory is to survive. In other words, you have to pick one to be the major one for your country. Our country was started over religious freedom and founded on Christianity.  

We are a country of many freedoms, we need to not forget how we got here, yes, we made mistakes, but we hopefully learned from them and will, if they are taught and not erased for our history books.

The biggest thing to remember is we all are going to die someday and whether or not what we believe our souls will live on through eternity

2 CORINTHIANS 4:16-18 (NIV)

16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Exercise your freedom and focus you heart on the only true God.

 Christ, He is the only way to Heaven. Seek Him today.
