Chuck Baldwin: MY THANKSGIVING PRAYER

"The common attitudes being displayed by many Christians--along with their spiritual leaders and pastors--today, however, are truly disgusting: apathy, indifference, and lethargy seem to rule the day. I constantly hear things like: 'God hasn't called me to get involved in politics,' or 'I am only called to preach the Gospel,' or 'Maybe we need to go into persecution,' or 'It's not my responsibility to save America.' All of which exposes their personal cowardice and utter contempt for the sacrifices rendered by their brave ancestors--sacrifices which procured the very blessings of liberty that they now hoggishly wallow in without appreciation or afterthought. And now, when faced with the imminent threat of the loss of the very liberties that they have taken for granted, they glibly reject any personal responsibility to maintain said liberties for their posterity--and pharisaically excuse their miserable conduct with pious-sounding clichés. They even have the wicked audacity to attempt to use the Scripture as an unholy closet in which they might hide--the same Scripture that their forefathers claimed as an illuminating beacon that was used to conquer the darkness of oppression."
