In the WEST, God is often taken for granted. In reality though, when natural disasters, loss, pain and suffering enter into our lives, God all of a sudden-becomes real. TODAY, I am going to continue from a past episode and take you through what the Bible says about God becoming real in your life and in mine.

Christians were given another chance live in a free country advance the Christian faith in America and around the world. It’s a matter of perspective-God’s perspective. And we ought to adopt God’s perspective. If the past four years has taught us anything, it’s that Christians are not accustomed to adversity, and that needs to change, because while good times are here today, there is always tomorrow. In America, we are not accustomed to “bad times” eluding to a country where Christians are persecuted on a serious level. I find it amazing that God has blessed us repeatedly despite our moral decline and slow abandonment of Him. We now have the opportunity to make an impact for Christ in America and the world.

Though the Christian church in India goes back to the time of St. Thomas the Apostle, church growth in India has been slow until now. India is predominately Hindu (74%), with some Muslims (20%) The truly exciting thing is that the percentage of Christians has increased substantially from 2.5% a decade ago to about 5.8% today. That represents a huge increase in the growth rate. Something is happening! Missiologist and church growth expert C. Peter Wagner has been receiving reports that the percentage may actually be 25% Christian — at least in parts of this large country — most of the growth coming in the past 10 to 15 years. And the growth may not all be in traditional churches. A substantial part may come from Jesus-follower groups within the Hindu culture. Today, we are going to look at what God is doing in India!

Are Christians biblically commanded to ALWAYS DO EVERYTHING the government tells them to do? What about when going to war? I am not confusing the WW2 time period with today. These are two different times in history, two different generations, which very different moral values. That being said, the principle of biblical moral grounds for obeying government is just the same. It seems that World War II was the last war that I see as definitively morally justified to warrant war. War leads to death and destruction on all sides in order to squelch evil. Today, I am going to show you that for the most part, we are to follow the government, but the Bible is clear that we are to avoid EXTREME PATRIOTISM as well. What is "Extreme Patriotism"? In light of Romans 13:1 as a primary verse which says, "Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgement." (There is also Romans 13:3-13:5 which speak further to the issue.)
But, there is more to God's position on the ethics and morality of listening to government when we look at the Bible. For example, just because a government (often an immoral or biblically immorally run government) commands (Christians to) war, doesn't mean the that war is justifiable biblically. As such, we as individual Christians act rightly/biblically when we critically analyze the WHY behind THAT we are to go to war. After all, war entails death, destruction, injury and mental scars that last a lifetime. As such, we are called to analyze government mandates with a biblical worldview and act rightly in light of what God says. And if a godless government asks Christians to fight a biblically immoral war and kill or harm other human beings, we are called as Christians to analyze that war and our level of involvement in military service. This is a touchy subject and I am VERY patriotic. That said, I serve God before I serve any government or human leader(s). I pray this episode brings more clarity than it does emotion.

God’s people are called to practice “HOSPITALITY”, for at any time we may be entertaining angels. We are going to address that subject in PART2. For today, on the flip side, I want to define wise generosity-meaning how are we as Christians to give? I have seen my fair share of Christians abuse this verse and other parts of God’s Word by selfishly taking from other Christians when they are not in need-failing to give back in return (when they are fully able), saying not to expect anything in return. So which is true? That's what we are going to address in today's episode.

Human beings tend to see God’s grace, patients and forgiveness as either being limitless, or having some arbitrary pre-set limit that we tend to assign or define personally. Today, I am going to show you that when it comes to God’s desire for all to come to repent of their sin and authentically follow Jesus as Lord and Savior-that even the worst of the worst sinners find NO limit to God’s forgiveness and acceptance. Let’s jump right in.

I’m young enough to understand today’s culture but old enough to remember a day when men and women of godly character were elevated as role models. Today, I am going to make the simple case that a core factor in America’s decline is found in the lack of faithful Christian Role Models. What I mean by faithful role model is not today’s famous speakers who failed and rose from the ashes, but those who consistently lived a faithful life to God, wife, husband, children and community as opposed to those who did wrong and were elevated to a popular platform based on those failures. Let’s get started.

Margaret Thatcher once said, “Watch your thoughts, for they will become actions. Watch your actions, for they'll become... habits. Watch your habits for they will forge your character. Watch your character, for it will make your destiny.”-MARGARET THATCHER
Paul said in Romans 12:2, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect” (Romans 12:2).
God's Word is clear that our thoughts and actions are accountable to God and hold consequences. Tune in to hear more!

If you are new to the community, I (Steven Garofalo) have been friends with David Berkowitz for many years.

Please be praying for David, see his website at www.AriseAndShine.Org and enjoy today's episode directly from two of David's letters to me.

At PRESENT, The United States of America has the largest Christian population in the world, with Christians making up over 70% of the country’s overall population. This begs the question as to WHAT DID MAKE AMERICA GREAT? Was it our capitalist system? Our freedoms? Our money? Our spirit? I would assert that you can plug any and all of these things into one SIMPLE REASON which is our putting God in FRONT of our lives, our culture, laws, values, and money.

For God So Loved the World that he sent His ONLY Son so that we might receive eternal life. That being said, I find the words of Jesus in John 3:16-18 fascinating in that it gives us a simple, easy to follow blueprint for sharing our faith on a daily basis in our modern world. Jesus’ formula for evangelism is TIMELESS! In the end, our job is not to save people, but to present the Truth and the great news of eternal salvation as a free gift offered. How freeing that is for you and I, knowing what our your is part of God’s great plan! I pray this encourages, motivates and better equips your for the Great Commission (Matthew 28) and in your walk with Christ.

Loui Zamperini was an Italian immigrant who came to America, got in trouble as a young man, enlisted to fight in WW2 and became a POW. When the Japanese commander tried to break Louie, he REFUSED to be BROKEN. Louie came to follow Jesus Christ later in years, and today, I am going to share with you biblically why the world and many of its leaders are corrupt, and how you and I can remain unbroken in our spirit. If we do so, God will use you and me in great ways.
