Separation of Truth and State.

The Love of the Truth. I so LOVE the Truth because HE so loved US. And when I come across such an article as this below I cease to want to write because I wish I had this talent sometimes (laughs). Some say I do but this article below really touched my heart and I pray I will be able to write like this someday (laughs). It is True that we are not fighting truly a religious holy war and really we do not need to. We must just stand in the Truth and be lights daily. We who are Born again have a new life and we have Christ in US NOW. So aren't we supposed to shine out lights brightly with JOY?
We really have no need to fight like our flesh wants US too but JESUS ask us to Stand and Shine referring to a city on a HILL and for US to be like that bright city. That is fighting a good fight. Abortion, sexual immorality, immoral supporting behaviors truly have no real chance if we all would STAND and shine our lights daily in LOVE in society. Not taken into offensive arguing to those who are dead but to loving those who are caught in their bondage they cannot see to this Truth by our Shining actions. We are peculiar People the Bible says and we should all stand in LOVE for HIS Truth and the battles become less exhausting and best of all brings out the LOVE and stops all the dogamatic anger some of US in the BODY have toward the Lost because like JESUS said they do not really no better. Some as of yet have not tasted and SEEN yet although they are without excuse. IF we stand and shine out lights JESUS guarantees result doesn't HE? Let us truly meditate persistantly over what the Apostle Paul says in:

1 Corinthians 13:1-8

1IF I [can] speak in the tongues of men and [even] of angels, but have not love (that reasoning, intentional, spiritual devotion such [a]as is inspired by God's love for and in us), I am only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
2And if I have prophetic powers ([b]the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), and understand all the secret truths and mysteries and possess all knowledge, and if I have [sufficient] faith so that I can remove mountains, but have not love (God's love in me) I am nothing (a useless nobody).

3Even if I dole out all that I have [to the poor in providing] food, and if I surrender my body to be burned or [c] in order that I may glory, but have not love (God's love in me), I gain nothing.

4Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.

5It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God's love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong].

6It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail.

7Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].

8Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]. As for prophecy ([d]the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), it will be fulfilled and pass away; as for tongues, they will be destroyed and cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away [it will lose its value and be superseded by truth].

And if we stand in this Scriptural understanding in all humility Today, we can conquer TODAY the separation of Truth and state.
AMEN

Commentary: THE SEPARATION OF TRUTH AND STATE (Coach Dave Daubenmire)

. . . . While they have had all of us scrabbling over the removal of the 10 Commandments in public buildings, the lack of morality in our populace, and the degenerating condition of our public schools, we have once again missed the real agenda.
You see it is not really about religion. The battle really isn't about Republicans and Democrats, liberals and conservatives, or the non-constitutional "separation between the church and state."

No, my friends, it isn't about prayer in schools, or Bibles in schools, about Christmas Carols or the Pledge of Allegiance, nor about homosexuals or metrosexuals. The battle in America is over one issue. And it is an issue that we are all going to have to come to grips with - hopefully sooner, rather than later . . . .
The separation between the TRUTH AND THE STATE is what they were after. It wasn't religion they had to remove. It was the Truth that stood in the way.
. . . They told us truth was relative, and that ethics were "situational." They chided our children, "don't judge," and chastised those who did. They removed from the school house wall the scales by which all morality was weighed and soon everyone was doing "what was right in their own eyes."
"If it feels good do it. Tune-in, turn-on, drop-out. Go for the gusto. You only pass this way once. Live and let live. Go for it. You deserve it. Did God really say that? Everyone lies about sex …"

We are a nation of liars. We expect lying from our leaders. They don't even blush.
We hire teachers to teach us lies and elected politicians to tell us lies. We pay them to teach lies, tell lies, so we can believe lies. Lies make us feel better.
How else can you explain what is being taught to our children in our schools with our permission and dollars?

But it didn't start there. It started in the ivory towers of academia first. Communism, masquerading as liberalism, snuck into positions of authority. Communism is a God-less system of government where absolute Truth does not exist. Right and wrong was no longer defined by the God of the Bible, but by public opinion, or worse yet, the university-trained terrorists in black robes.

With the Christian God and His unmovable standards out of the way, the God-haters were able to manipulate the minds of the people to accept things their Forefathers would have found reprehensible . . . .
"Separation of church and state, separation of church and state" the goats bleat every time the Christian God and His standards are mentioned. But it is not the Church they are afraid of. No, my friends, it is not the Church. Again, it is the Truth they must change.

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:" "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

Does it seem like we are losing freedom in America? We have let them change the standards. It is Jesus they want removed. Not Buddha, not Mohammed, not environmentalism. The Truth brings freedom, lies bring bondage. Are we truly free? [emphasis added]
