Who will be the champion of truth and justice for your nation? You will.
“But I’m a nobody.”
“I don’t have any training.”
“I hate speaking in front of crowds”
“I don’t have money.”
Guess what!? You are qualified!
“When they saw how boldly Peter and John were speaking, and realized that they were untrained, ordinary men, they were astonished, and they recognized them as people who had been with Jesus.” Acts 4:13
Untrained,
Ordinary,
been with Jesus = qualified + able.
The next step is OBEY
This event will be in Western North Carolina. Come and meet Jesus!

Jesus does not consider Himself to be above public debate. Many of us shy away from public debate because we are afraid of the ridicule heaped on us for our beliefs and opinions. Church-goers will also tell us not to “get political” so that they can disassociate themselves from our controversial stance. But Jesus does not shy away from a fight worth having. When Jesus was on trial, He was cunning, feisty, and firm.
The high priest asked Jesus about his disciples, and about his teaching.
“I’ve spoken to the world quite openly,” replied Jesus. “I always taught in the synagogues and in the Temple, where all the Judeans gather. I didn’t say anything in secret. Why are you asking me?”
John 18:19-20
Jesus is willing to call out a loaded question & avoid the trap. Many people consider Jesus to be non-resistant. But the dialogue in the account of His trial is anything but passive.
We should be more like Jesus. Truth is truth. Only the truth will set us free.

What can we do to save our country’s future? Stop thinking about meeting our needs and begin to meet the needs of the upcoming generation. Be a father to the fatherless.
This is absolute tyranny practiced by our own DOJ
If you live in Western North Carolina or know someone who does, tell them about this event:

Jesus rules with absolute but subtle power. He doesn’t dominate or dictate our lives, but still, His ultimate purposes will not be thwarted.
Under the rule and reign of Christ, we have a tremendous amount of freedom. We are given enough rope to hang ourselves if we insist, but we are also given enough grace to repent and turn our lives around if we choose. Many personal choices are ours, but the final outcome of all things is His.
Should Christians get involved in politics? That is an absurd question with an obvious answer but we have been condition to fail to see it.
Should Christians manage their finances, follow traffic laws, or recognize their neighbor’s property lines? If the answer is “yes,” than Christians are called to involve themselves in politics.
Government is the process through which the world is ordered. Who but Christ knows how to order the world in a beneficial way for all mankind? Why should we leave the management of the world to idol worshipers when Jesus Himself said that “all authority in heaven and earth has been given to Me” (Matthew 28:18)?
Should we tolerate the world’s denial of Christ’s authority?
This is an outstanding truth:
“God didn’t send the son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved by Him.” John 3:17
This is still true right now. God has no passion to condemn us for our failures. Failures are condemnation enough. It is not as though we were doing great before Jesus showed up and made us feel guilty. No. We are lost on our own, like sheep without a shepherd. God does not need nor desire to add to the condemnation. God sent Jesus to rescue us from our failures. Wow. That’s pretty amazing.
What we should be learning right now is that freedom doesn’t come from a system. Systems can be good but they only work if people have integrity. Only people who fear God have integrity because they do what is right when only God can see.
Conclusion: Freedom and the rule of law are born and preserved through reverence for God.
Psalm 112 says that the righteous "will not fear evil news," but that does not mean we will be apathetic about it. Speak truth. Fight injustice.
