A New Political Party

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

For many years now, I have wished that we could have a third political party in the United States of America. A true conservative party that is espouses moral and traditional Christian values, as well as putting the people first. The tea party attempted to do that back a few years ago, but the establishment ruling class would have none of it.  TheRepublicans hated losing power and fought against it and it eventually failed. I understand the way our government is set up that a third-party really is almost impossible, however this new effort by Mr. Islamic sympathizer Tucker and MTG, as well as other haters of Israel , their party is doomed for failure. It will be nothing more than Israel and Christian bashing. NO thank you. 

What we need is a Christian conservative party in this country. As I said, one that has morally conservative values. The only problem with that is that Christians won’t support it. Many of them don’t want to be associated with anything “political”.  Many aren’t registered to begin with and with Pastors turning deaf and dumb on speaking from pulpits on moral issues. We have a problem. We are supposed to be  salt and light in a dark and wicked world. I believe that Jesus wants to be Lord over all  areas of life. That includes politics. The attitude of many pastors and churches is that we don’t do politics. What if the issues of the day are moral issues that are trying to invade the church with demonic doctrine. It’s time for the church to stand up and fight the good fight of faith outside the four walls of the church. In politics, absolutely.  Government touches every area of our life from jobs, education, taxes, and the week being of our citizens. Government was ordained and established by God.(Romans 13)  The idiocy of what the church does by ducking its head and hiding inside the four walls of a church, amounts to a moral failure.  All these moral issues are being discussed and voted on in the halls of Congress or in governors’ mansions across the country. So let’s just drop our heads and allow ungodliness to rule and reign.  I don’t think Jesus is happy that the church gives up the rulership of this country to evil people. We are never going to wipe out evil, nor do we wish a theocratic government, but a moral one is well within our reach.  

It’s too bad a third-party won’t work, and it is too bad that it can’t be a true conservative party. Whatever  in the world that Tucker Carlson is going to try to do is not going  conservative and it’s not going to be moral either.  It will be a far right anti-Israel.  After all that is all he condemns.  It will not have  moral values.  What it is, it’s a bunch of people that are really Libertarian Democrat lite.  That have decided to take their ball and find another court so they can play on, and tear this nation apart.

My oh my, God must be shaking his head and wondering, will they ever learn?  Rh

Georg Whitefield (Revivalist in Colonial America)

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Beginning in 1740, George Whitefield preached seven times in America. He spread the Great Awakening Revival, which helped unite the Colonies prior to the Revolutionary War.

Whitefield‘s preaching stirred crowds with enthusiasm, which was criticized by the formal, established churches of the day. When they closed their doors to him, Whitefield began preaching out-of-doors. Crowds grew so large that no church could have held the number of people, sometimes being as large as 25,000.

In one sermon, George Whitefield proclaimed:

“Never rest until you can say, ‘the Lord our righteousness.’ Who knows but the Lord may have mercy, nay, abundantly pardon you? Beg of God to give you faith; and if the Lord give you that, you will by it receive Christ, with his righteousness, and his all … None, none can tell, but those happy souls who have experienced it with what demonstration of the Spirit this conviction comes …”

“Oh, how amiable, as well as all sufficient, does the blessed Jesus now appear! With what new eyes does the soul now see the Lord its righteousness! Brethren, it is unutterable … Those who live godly in Christ, may not so much be said to live, as Christ to live in them … They are led by the Spirit as a child is led by the hand of its father … They hear, know, and obey his voice … Being born again in God they habitually live to, and daily walk with God.”

George Whitefield was one of the first ministers to publicly preach the Gospel to slaves. This profoundly influenced many preachers, such as Rev. Samuel Davies, and denominations, such as Baptists, Methodists and Quakers, to be inclusive of blacks.

A young black teenager named John Marrant heard Whitefield preach in Charleston, South Carolina. Marrant converted and went on to become one of America’s first black preachers, even preaching among Cherokee, in England and in Nova Scotia.

George Liele, a black slave in Georgia, heard a Great Awakening preacher. He converted and began preaching with such conviction that his master freed him. Liele founded one of America’s first black churches–Silver Bluff Baptist Church in Beach Island, South Carolina, 1773, and then became one of America’s first foreign missionaries, arriving in Jamaica in 1792.

George Whitefield advocated for the improvement of the treatment of slaves, though he sadly held the typical 18th century view which accommodated the institution of slavery.

It was not until 1770 that Pennsylvania Quaker Anthony Benezet pioneered the movement to abolish slavery by founding the Negro School at Philadelphia, and, in 1775, the Society for the Relief of Free Negroes Unlawfully Held in Bondage, of which Franklin became the president in 1785.

Benezet’s school was inspired by Whitefield, who had first proposed in 1739 that Philadelphia have a Charity School for blacks and poor orphan children. Franklin later merged the Charity School with his newly formed Academy of Philadelphia.

Franklin helped finance the building of an auditorium for Whitefield to preach in, after which it became one of the first buildings of the Academy, which turned into the University of Pennsylvania.

I am praying for another Great Awakening in the United States to bring repentance and restoration. Our nation has had at least three great moves of God. Lord we pray for one more! We you join with me to see one last move of God before it is too late. Every major issue that divides our land is a moral issue. It will take moral solutions, not political ones. Rh

HOW CAN YOU STILL CALL THIS POLITICS

Something has happened. An invisible line has been crossed. A very tired and obsolete excuse has expired. What excuse, you ask? The one that goes like this: “As a Christian, I don’t believe that we should be involved in politics.”
As incredible as it may seem, people are still saying things like that.
There is a special punishment mentioned in Scripture about remaining silent when a generation is headed for disaster. And that Scripture mentions nothing about a ‘political’ exemption. Proverbs 24:11-12, “Deliver those who are drawn toward death, and hold back those who stumble to the slaughter. If you say, “Surely we did not know this,” does not He who weighs the hearts consider it? He Who keeps your soul, does He not know it? And will He not render to each man according to his deeds?”
The Satanic agenda being pushed by the Left is killing people. It is drawing them toward death. But you can’t speak up because that would be ‘politics.’
