If you think those children weren't bitter from the mental, emotional and in many cases physical abuses they sustained at the hands of their own parent you are really living in your own fantasy world. And so began a new pattern for those that never realized that they had the power to end the cycle right there.
In the beginning the family units would attend church and church functions together, during the great depression the churches tried to help their congregations as much as possible but even they weren't as prepared as they should have been, so many closed their doors permanently.
Over the many years since not only have those churches reopened their doors under new leadership but now we have so many offshoots of the parent churches because people became offended by the teachings or something within the church. Instead of working together to right the wrongs of the churches now we have partially filled churches teaching only bits and pieces of the Bible; and we have many versions of the same Bible!
Confusing? You better believe it! What's even worse is the Headship of the parent churches isn't even screening the applicants of many of the new churches so now we have churches full of abominations! Just last night I was informed that Gays and Lesbians can actually get married in any church and could actually get married in a local Catholic church (but cautioned me not to tell the Pope.) Where is the church leadership? This isn't the first I'd heard this, and while not all of them will do it; but the fact is they will do it for what, money? So long as no one can prove it? God knows or are you out there preaching God's word without believing what you are saying? I would call that hypocrisy wouldn't you? How can we the believers be called upon to speak with conviction when even the leaders of the congregations won't?
If there was any time for God's true Christian people to speak up and speak out it's now! We need to put an end to all of this madness before it truly is too late! I don't care what denomination you are! “Let he who has ears let him hear.” God needs His arms, legs and voice to do His work and to ring through the world. It is time to stand together and be accountable. Come out of your comfort zones and strike down the demons of fear, greed and any number of other demons you have residing in your temple and let God's light shine forth.
We as God's people have had ample time to prove our positions through the various fields, such as pro life issues; prove a fetus can sense, feel and has enough cause to make a believable case irrefutable that a fetus is in fact a living being and from what stage as a fetus is this factual? Not to prove to me, I believe from time of conception but the non believers and those who would destroy life because they made mistakes need to see factual irrefutable proof. Remember non-believers believe in nothing that can't be factually proven and will always wage war against us believers and push for everything against us and our beliefs to continue that war.
I think it's funny that every time non-believers go out of their way to prove us wrong they only succeed in proving us right, even then with the proof they'd uncovered they refuse the facts making them look petty and combative. So why do people believe them? Simply because they scream louder in their indignation of the proof they can't accept; Christian believers remain silent.
Now we are in another Recession where the churches need to provide for their congregation and community and again the churches are ill-prepared, so what's going to happen when this Recession turns into another Depression similar to the one in the nineteen thirties or worse? You can't say God didn't warn us! How many Believers have: 1. their own gardens? 2. The knowledge and ability to can home grown products? 3. The materials and ability to create sheets, blankets and clothing? 4. The knowledge and materials to create crude shelters without the use of electricity, nails, etc. today? 5. The ability to create candles from raw wax to see by at night when there may be no electricity available? 6. Modified diesel generators to run various necessary machines like breathing machines for people having to use them or to operate a communications device to keep in contact with the outside world for information? I know the Mormon's do but they aren't known for helping anyone but their own believers. So where does that leave the rest of us? Just what have God's people been doing with all this time for preparation?
