A Fundamental Failure

I am a Fundamentalist. I believe in the Fundamentals of the Faith. Fundamentalists are my crowd, but I believe that Fundamentalists (myself included) are failing in a great way. When it comes to Politics the majority of Fundamentalists fall into the Conservative Category. One of the tenants of Conservatism is that MORE government is bad and LESS government is better. In my opinion, this is a fundamental belief of conservatism.

In the most recent election America elected THE MOST LIBERAL SENATOR in the Senate to be the President of the United States. This is not my opinion, and has nothing to do with the color of his skin, but is based on his voting record. We know and have already seen the direction that President Obama is going to take our country. One of the FIRST things that he did was open up funding for abortion. Abortion is nothing more than legalized murder. It is awful, despicable, and completely contrary to God's Word.

However, this leads me to my point. Why are born again, Bible believing Christians counting on the Government to eradicate abortion? I know - I know -- every Congressional leader in DC that has supported and promoted abortion WILL answer to God one day, but MORE government is not the answer. Even if we had Legislators pass laws that would hinder abortions from taking place, those laws will not change the hearts of men.

I believe, like many of you do as well, that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the answer to man's problems. We have an obligation as Christians to reach out to these young girls who seek abortions and even the doctor's who perform them, with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We cannot wait for a Government Solution. The answer is NOT Government -- the answer is Jesus Christ.

When was the last time that you handed out a gospel tract? When was the last time that you gave your testimony? When was the last time you reached out to a young lady who was in a bad situation and told her about Jesus Christ? When was the last time that you prayed for President Obama that God would open his eyes to the light of the Glorious Gospel? Wouldn't it just mess up the devil's plans if President Obama truly got Born-Again? We must be busy about the Saviors business NOW more than EVER! We must not expect Government to change the hearts of men. We must give this lost and dying world the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

We may want to point the finger at the politicians in Washington, D.C. and say that they are guilty of killing the unborn, but if we neglect to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ (how that He died, was buried, and rose again) then I believe that we are just as guilty. The Failure of Fundamentalism is expecting the laws of Government to do what not even the law of God could do --- Change the Hearts of Men. Where government fails the GOSPEL WILL NOT! Tell someone about Jesus Christ.
