Is Death By Government Coming?

The thought that America is possibly poised to experience death by government struck me this morning like a lightning bolt.

The question is, are you ready to simply accept whatever the outcome of the upcoming presidential election?

This whole idea of death by government is a rather dark one for me to be looking at but I must relieve the burden of my soul.

This morning I heard a brief conversation between two men in their twenties. One started with asking who did they think was going to win the election. A couple of
vague statements were made concerning both President Obama and Mitt Romney.

This lasted about two minutes and then the conversation casually changed to what they were eating for breakfast. Their attitude about the lack of importance of which direction our nation would be taking later this year slapped me in the face.

My concern is that there are millions more people like this.

What does all this have to the with the spiritual pulse of families? The direction our government takes has a direct impact on the freedom that families will
have in choosing how to express their calling and place in the community.

This nation was founded on having the freedom to express our beliefs in God free without the government’s restrictions. While the state can never take away
your glorious calling to be an ambassador for Christ and to serve Him and love Him with all your hearts, they can and have limited people’s expression of
that love for our creator.

What Is Death By Government?

Death by government is happening every day in Europe and in China and countless other countries. It is now happening more and more frequently here in the USA.

How would you like to head off to attend Sunday service and find that the church building was just been razed to the ground? All because your pastor just
gave a message on the sinful lifestyle of homosexuality.

I believe death by government really began when the whole twisted notion of separation of church and state began gaining traction. I thoroughly believe that
the Church is meant to operate along side the limited role of the civil government.

Civil government was never meant to be the answer to society’s problems. In fact, the only way civil government can function effectively is if it
operates as an extension of God’s government.

Every day we are seeing more and more the effects of a run-away government. America’s governmental control continues to gain momentum at a frightening
pace under our current administration. It is tough to find one area of life that the government is not trying to regulate.

Why should Christians be concerned? Our calling as a child of God is to love Him, obey Him, to be about His business, and to push back any darkness we encounter.

When we see that darkness showing its face in our government, we cannot afford to sit back passively. A government that not only allows the killing of babies
but promotes it, is in serious darkness.

Death By Government In America

This is the same government that is erasing all mention of Christianity, yet promoting other faiths. This is the same government that purposefully attacks
the foundation of society established by God by trying to redefine marriage and family.

And this is the same government that goes out if its way to silence
the one redeeming hope that America has to get back on track – the church.

If this isn’t death by government, I don’t know what is.

Civil government is not to be our source of provision, our source of health, our source of education , or our source of general welfare. It is only to be
our source of protection and the protector our freedoms.

We are seeing a government in America that is seeking to control every area of our lives from the food that we eat, the schools we attend, the health care we receive, and the money we spend.

When the Godly are in places of authority, the people have reason to rejoice. This is definitely true for people but not the Church. The Church always has reason to rejoice irregardless of what is going on in our civil government.

While we are not citizens of this world, we are its stewards. I’d like to see our country be in better shape, not worse, than it was when I was first born.

Are you willing to watch DEATH BY GOVERNMENT strengthen its grip over America?

If you aren’t, you can do things.

1) Register to vote now or encourage someone you know to register, and

2) Send this post to everyone you know who is tired of government regulating too much.
