This group is dedicated to restoring JESUS CHRIST and Christian values throughout society!
Our reasons are many.
Many of us grew up adhering to an unspoken rule that we shouldn’t talk about God or religion (or money or politics, etc) in “polite conversation.” Looking back, we can see this as a mere early stage example of evil’s plan to eliminate God from our culture, to call what is good, bad, and to call what is bad, good. Continued deterioration now has us actually barred from discussing our faith in certain situations, and evil wants to eliminate public discussion altogether, locking it up inside the church walls (until they come after that too). A deep dive into our country’s founding fathers shows they often referred to and quoted the bible in performing their official duties as well as living their everyday lives. Our country was founded on biblical principles, and our Constitution was based on these biblical principles. We want to return to our country’s heritage, and our God-given right, of freely discussing all aspects of our faith in all aspects of our lives and in all aspects of our culture! We are throwing open those church doors and will permeate society with all things Jesus!
Such a boldness certainly aligns with the commands throughout the bible to spread God’s Word:
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” (Matthew 28:19)
“Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.” (Mark 16:15)
“Sing praises to the Lord…Tell among the peoples His deeds!” (Psalm 9:11)
This can easily feel like a daunting and uncomfortable task, and I know I personally felt totally unprepared to do so. I justified my own inaction because I considered my knowledge and understanding of God’s Word to be so limited…compared to my pastor and other highly-biblically-educated speakers I listen to. (Of course it is!) But we don’t need to be biblical scholars, and this command isn’t just for the priests and pastors among us. We will roll out activities that anyone, at any stage of their relationship with Jesus, can easily do! And we will identify or present educational information also to help us all build our knowledge and confidence!
Our efforts will not only help each of us grow in our own relationship with Jesus as talk to and of Him more often, but we will be sprinkling seeds of salvation for those around us who are not yet saved! In a recent sermon my pastor made the comment that God does not celebrate when any soul goes to hell; He weeps. He weeps for the eternal loss of one of His children. That thought affected me deeply, the image in my head breaking my heart. That is what helps me to better (not perfectly, but better) love my neighbor. That is what drives me to want to sprinkle seeds absolutely everywhere in hopes I am contributing to someone’s salvation in some way.
Let’s be honest, this includes some believers as well as the non-believers. The precious gift of salvation requires more than belief in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and a belief in heaven and hell. It requires repentance and a heart to live for God. It requires making Jesus Lord and Savior of our life. I know from personal experience how easy it is to believe the lie that being a believer and a “pretty good person” (relative to other sinners here on earth) is somehow sufficient. I cannot express how grateful I am that Jesus never stopped pursuing me, and I can recall many specific “seeds” that were planted throughout my life. Now I want to work for Him by helping others!
Coming full circle, our God is the only one who can heal His people, who can fix what is broken throughout our society. We have been experiencing a vicious multi-faceted attack on our values, our culture, our freedoms, and our very way of life by evil aimed at destroying God’s creation. That’s what it does – it lies, and it destroys. But GOD!
“If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14)
We need to do our part. We need to be active in saving souls and saving our way of life! By our hand alone this may be impossible, “but with God all things are possible!” (Matthew 19:26)
