If the Church wasn’t so silent….

~ Conservative Momma ~ Leave a comment

I have noticed something that goes far and wide, it is silence at injustice -the inability to speak up and speak out against it. This silence is most loudly heard in the church. While many gather on Sunday mornings to worship and hear a cozy “feel good” message-there is no truth being uttered from the pulpit. Never would a pastor dare to speak about social issues or endorse a particular candidate-they’d lose their 501C3 (non-profit) status. But, I think this is the very reason why we see so much ugly in the world today.

Now let me be clear, I am a supporter of the separation of church and state. All throughout history time and time again-the church was found to be corrupt when influenced by the state and at times the two were as one. Declaring a “master” religion, Monarch’s corruptly influencing the church and it’s message, propaganda, the misuse of funds….it was a mess! The government should lack all authority when it comes to an individual’s conscience.The liberty of conscience and individual thought must not be infringed upon.

I get people don’t want to go to church and hear what side of the political aisle their pastor is on….but I personally think they should know! I think that people have become so “gray” in their thinking that they have no radar in deciphering black from white, right from wrong and this….this is a pastor’s role! Making it clearly obvious what is right and what is wrong through their teachings

Simple hearing a pastors views on social and political issues, I believe does not infringe on our Constitutional rights nor does it impede on our own individual rights. It rather challenges thought. The separation of church and state, should not prevent free thinking. No one is forcing one to vote a particular way, or pushing one to adhere to what is being preached from the pulpit….one is still able to choose for themselves what is right and wrong. I am simply advocating….that pastors should be speaking out on these issues, especially ones that directly correlate to a biblical truth of right and wrong…..because if you haven’t noticed it’s getting NUTS out here!!

For example-Supporting abortion….not something Jesus would support, stating this from the pulpit would be the right thing to do, so they should SAY SOMETHING!!

Addressing the enthrallment of misogynistic movies that are popular in our culture is not something Jesus would support, so pastors SAY SOMETHING!

Supporting any leader that does not stand with Israel, when it is clear in scripture that they are God’s chosen people, should be talked about from the pulpit-so SAY SOMETHING!

Supporting any candidate who sleeps around or can’t keep it in their pants-not something Jesus would support, so SAY SOMETHING!

Supporting any legislation that infringes upon individual freedom-which Jesus is ALL about-freedom, that’s what he died for, for us to be FREE in Christ! Ummmmm….He’s all about Freedom…..so SAY SOMETHING!

For the love….open up your Bibles pastors. I am not a pastor. I am not called to be a pastor….but if you are a pastor…it’s time to STEP IT UP!

“Oh but people will leave the church,” “we don’t want to offend,” “We won’t be tax exempt anymore,” “People will stop giving.” This is where your much talked about “Faith” really comes into play….

Church is to be a place of Truth. Truth hurts, it’s not fun to hear, it’s even uncomfortable at times….but truth-sets people free and that is your role! That’s it! Speak TRUTH….no matter how uncomfortable it might be! I think of the apostle Paul, being stoned, and held in prison-that wasn’t comfortable, I think of Peter-being hung upside down on a cross-not comfortable, I think of Stephen being stoned to death-not comfortable…..and I think of Jesus being crucified….he wasn’t crucified because he preached “lovey dovey” messages…..he was crucified because he spoke the truth…..

I believe that our country would not be in the condition it is in, if the church wasn’t so silent…..

so Say Something!

Hmmmm perhaps an intervention is needed….

I honestly get a kick out people who want MORE government. I then simply express the complete dysfunctionalism produced by these government run agencies and their reply is always the same “these poorly ran departments are just lacking funds!” And their answer-throw more money at them! Who cares if we are 18 trillion in debt….just give em more money! My reply…..”would you give more money to someone who was 18 trillion in debt?”

Always go to the source. Where are our tax dollars going? It’s not that we are lacking funding, we are lacking the intelligence on WHERE we fund. When you research ways the government wastes your money you’ll find gross incompetence!

For example according to forbes.com these are just a few of the many ways the government wasted your money last year:

$856,000 of our tax dollars was used to train mountain lions to run on a treadmill in order to measure the energy consumption of the cats’ hunting techniques

$820,000 to determine the impact of public breastfeeding on the rate of car accidents at crowded intersections.

$371,000 to study if mothers loved their dogs as much as their own kids by studying the way their brains responded to pictures of both.

$484,000 to study whether “drunk recall” of information learned while intoxicating is a real phenomenon, as part of a program titled “E=MC hammered.

I could go on and on…..

Hmmmm perhaps an intervention might be needed…..

I am with The Party of Choice

~ Conservative Momma ~ 2 Comments

I was recently shared this video below and I wanted to share it with you guys.

What’s really amusing to me is the so called “party of choice,” allows for no choice. The Democratic party once touted the ideology of classic Liberalism-the ability to choose for yourself, but this is no longer anywhere in their platform. In fact they would rather put all your personal choices in the governments hands….because the government knows best 😉 Thus, the creation of a NANNY STATE, because you don’t know what’s best for you. I wrote a blog a while back going off about “choice”-you can read it here, below is an excerpt:

     They (the government) would like to make ALL decisions for you. In fact they don’t want you to choose anything! 

They don’t want you to CHOOSE what school you send your kids to.

They don’t want you to CHOOSE what your kids eat when they are at school.

They don’t want you to CHOOSE what you use to defend yourself from harm with.

They don’t want you to CHOOSE your own healthcare.

They don’t want you to CHOOSE your own doctor, and if you like your doctor…ya can’t keep em’ fyi.

They don’t even want you to CHOOSE what kind of car you drive, because your car might blow up the planet! (ultimate sarcasm) 

They don’t want you to CHOOSE ANYTHING!!! For real…

Unless….you are choosing to well…you know…get rid of that cluster of cells…that science would call LIFE.

The Government wants to make all grown up decisions for you….because in their eyes-you’re an idiot!

Being a true Conservative, is being for individual freedom, and with that you are given the right to choose what is best for you! Watch this video! What do you think? Why are you a conservative!?

 

#Vaccinations and F bombs in the Morning!

~ Conservative Momma ~ 2 Comments

So vaccinations are continuing to be a hot topic, I have yet to form a solid opinion on whether or not a parent should be forced to vaccinate. The Libertarian in me says….ummmm heck “NO” the government should not force you to do anything against your will…..if they start meddling in our parenting, who knows where this could lead! Then there’s the momma side of me, ANYTHING to protect my kids!

I would love to hear your thoughts on this one!

Penn and Teller have a short video here that addresses stats! Check it out and WARNING F bombs-so remove the kiddos from the room!!!!
