My preacher got me to thinking this past Sunday about this and it is true if you pay attention to politicians and public speakers and Clergy who say they are proud to be Christians. Why can’t they just say Jesus? It’s like they believe if you call out the name Jesus you’re a public outcast of some kind which may be true in this day and time and it’s a shame. If you’re a true Christian the name Jesus should be everything to you and you should not be embarrassed to say it even if it does make you different. In fact that’s the point a Christian should be different they should stand out in a crowd they should be proud to shout the name Jesus. There is no power in any Church without Jesus no matter what any preacher or pastor or politician says you have to have Jesus you have to call on his name for salvation. It is also politically correct today to pray to God and never mention Jesus because it makes it universal, it makes a prayer sound good to every religion it also makes it mean absolutely nothing. To say a real prayer and have it heard by God and actually mean something it has to be said by a saved person a real Christian or a person asking for salvation and it has to be said in Jesus name. I have harked on this subject plenty of times before and I’m sure I will continue to but if saying Jesus upsets someone or some group of people maybe they need to be upset. We need to stop catering to political correctness and other false religions and just give them Jesus after all that’s all we have to give. That’s all this lost and dyeing world needs is to believe and to call on Jesus. There is no remission of sin without the shedding of blood and that blood was shed by Jesus on the cross of Calvary. It will wash away all sin there is nothing Jesus can’t handle or doesn’t have the answer to, just call out his name and you will see. We all need to understand that the Bible is the true written word of God there no other source except the Bible no matter what anyone says. We all sin and fall short of the Glory of God and all we have to do is believe in Jesus name.
Philippians 2
9Therefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name,
10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in Heaven and things on earth and things under the earth,
11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Who has blind faith? Not Me!
Blind Faith: belief without true understanding, perception, or discrimination
Most of the lost people of this world say this is what a Christian has. That we believe in something that we can’t see or touch or feel and don’t have any proof of. That we can’t see the truth or that we are just too silly, clinging to our religion and our guns, to see the true world that we live in. But I ask what do they believe in? That we came from an ameba and evolved over millions of years and this ameba came from a big bang. A bang with force so unimaginable that it started a chain reaction that led to life as we know it. So where did this big bang come from and who saw it who has proof of it, can any scientist reproduce any type of force that creates life from nothing? What other explanations do people have? That we have just always been here that the earth is billions of years old and life has just always been and our finite minds will never comprehend this, and that explanation is not an explanation at all. Or one of my favorites there are greater powers that we don’t know and understand but it’s not the God that Christians believe in. Oh and another good one is the God that is nature and the natural harmony of nature bla bla bla. In my opinion all these are a worship of the creation, I worship the Creator. Most people will ask so where is your proof. I like to start with actual written history starting with the Bible which only continues to be proven the greatest written history of all. I have seen and heard of scientist and historians that set out to prove the Bible to be fiction and only end up supporting Biblical history and finding clue after clue to support the great stories of the Bible. There are also ancient non Biblical writings that support the people and stories of the Bible. Wow actual written records you say. Well what about something you have actually seen for yourself? OK, Have you ever known someone who was just bad I mean bad to the bone always in trouble or doing something stupid. Someone who just always seemed to be headed down the wrong road and then one day they start going to church and get saved and their life does a total 180. They may not be perfect but far from where they were before and getting better every day. Or have you ever seen a newborn baby and seen the joy in a new mother or father’s eyes? I don’t care who you are a child is a miracle of God there is no other explanation as far as I am concerned. Me personally I have felt the touch of God in my life since the day I got saved I don’t even really know how to explain it, it’s amazing and powerful. Have you ever been just really bad off and had your mom or dad just wrap their arms around you and say I love you and everything is going to be ok. It’s like that except 24/7 and it can never be taken away. It’s the most awesome and powerful thing that has ever happened to me. It changed my life and only for the better. I could really go on for days about the things I have seen and felt in the short time I have been a Christian. Praise Jesus!! He died for my sins and for yours and whether you want to believe or not, He is there and somewhere in everyone’s soul there is that need to understand a greater power. That power is Jesus and he is waiting for you to come to the foot of that old rugged cross and say, I believe, please help me, please save me. The good Lord is giving you the proof everyday you just have to choose to see it.
Luke 16:15
And He said unto them, "Ye are they who justify yourselves before men, but God knoweth your hearts. For that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
