God is absent in this county; a great awakening is needed

To the Editor,

Sometime ago I wrote a letter to the editor saying, “Where is God?” Nothing has changed; everything is still the same.

For example, I recently attended a community meeting where some of the board members were conducting themselves in an ignorant manner as if they had no respect for the positions they hold. We have no respect for the house of God because we have no respect for God. God is holy and righteous and we must view him in that manner and remember that the church is called the House of Prayer. We have no respect for his house because of the way we act and dress when we are in his house. We are dependent on man to make our lives better. We are looking to man to provide us with jobs and money but we must remember our future is in God.

I believe if the preachers in this county would come together in fellowship and in prayer and seek God, this county would be in a lot better shape spiritually, morally and even financially. We have mothers being killed, babies are dying and the innocent are being robbed.

Where is God in all of this? Our county does not need a revival, it needs a great awakening to realize the power of an Almighty God. So I am asking you to think, ponder, and pray about these things. Let your preacher know how you feel and remember your church is the House of God.

God is present everywhere and absent nowhere. A lot of people ask why should they go to church when the pastors wont preach without thousands of dollars and on top of that having affairs, most of them, with other women. Dont expect nothing to change in this county or anywhere else because the Bible is fulfilling, that can't be changed. The buzzards are laying 2 to 3 eggs per year compared to one and the Euphrates river is dried up to prepare for the war against Gods people Israel. Best thing each person can go is prepare to meet the Lord individually. If everything is left up to OBAMA and the government, sinners will perish, Christians will be gone, thats called the rapture. Best thing to do is stop worrying about the things you can't change and serve the Lord to enter into his Kingdom, and its real. The Bible tells me so. Let the rich be rich and the poor be poor, thats Bible, and let the rich and crooks fall in their own trap, the penalty of sin is death and after death the judgement

Hey Bosomchief, I agree with everything you said again. But one wittle bitttie question, that part about "let the rich and the crooks fall in their own trap"...?

Why would you put rich and crooks in the same catagory? I would believe that the poor are closer to being crooks than the rich who earned their keep. The poor steal and mooch off others much like a crook.

You have a good eaving my friend, we need much help around here...

everything you said is true but we all do need to pray for the county because it is headed in the wrong direction and God is needed to fix it.

Your church (building) is the house of God, I agree. But more importantly, your body is the temple. When we can get that right, the church (building) will be better. 1 Cor. 6:19-20 says do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, whom you have received from God? You are not your own, you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. ...when we do this everything else, including the church (building) will fall into place.
