We have neuropathy

I have been thinking about the state of the God's church and the apathy that has consumed His children. It is apparent the children of God are sleeping and at such a crucial time in our world. We are sitting quietly by while Christians all over the world are being persecuted and killed, ignoring the instructions given in Philippians 2:4 "Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others."

We are one body all a part of each other. We each have a task and if working properly there should be pain when our fellow believers are bruised, burned, or severed from that body. We are suffering from severe neuropathy. Romans 12:15 "so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another."

Our children, here in the state of Tennessee, will be studying Islam for 7 weeks as part of their Social Studies curriculum in the sixth grade. This has been determined by the state school board. I am burdened for all the kids in the state of Tennessee. Even though my kids are schooled at home that does not change the fact that the fabric of our country is unraveling.  We can not pray, read the Bible, or have formal teaching of Christianity in public schools but other religions are tolerated. God instructed His people more than once to rid themselves of all references to false Gods and false religions in sometimes what seem to be harsh means. This was because He knew that if there was any corruption in there presence they would be tempted to be led away, and they were, over and over again.

The children of God have sat by and allowed these changes as well as joined in. You may think, What can we do to change it? First, we must become awake and alert. Listen for the call of the shofar to assemble as one body. Then, from the head of that one mighty body with one voice turn and come away from this world and it's ways. Our tarrying here is toxic. These are the types of small compromises with the world that have caused the extreme neuropathy. We are living and fraternizing with the enemy by not condemning him.
