Extremist for Christ



With all the talk of religious extremist in the news, people are afraid of being given that label, which is understandable but should we Christian be afraid of such a label?

According to www.dictionary.com  . Extremism is a tendency or disposition to go to extremes or an instance of going to extremes, especially in political matters:
And here are a few definitions of Extremes 1: utmost or exceedingly great In degree. 2: Farthest from the center or middle: outermost

Extreme Views
According to the definitions, an extremist is someone who takes his belief seriously. In western culture, being called an extremist is considered derogatory because we do not like to deal with anyone with strong convictions. The concept of democracy has made us compromisers. We have to compromise on every point in order to be liked, to be popular or to get things done. It cannot be so when it comes to our Christian lives, for we must never compromise with error-no matter the cost, whether it be our own lives. We must stand firm on the rock that is Jesus Christ.


Extremist soldiers of Christ

As Christians, we have to cease being lukewarm and accept the fact that we have to be extremist for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In a world where people are killing others for such views, whether it be for defending or spreading freedom, avenging the prophet Mohammed, profits, we followers of Christ are to follow the extreme views of bringing light and life to a dying world. Why is it that many modern Christians are afraid to stand up for Christ ?

Extreme For Good

We are soldiers for Christ. We are his special operation forces in a global battlefield of darkness and our mission is to rescue many of God's children from the fortified fortresses of Satan. This is not a mission for those who are willing to compromise and waver but for those who are extreme in the view that living for Christ is worth more than our lives. We have to be extreme to do good. The doers of evil are dedicated in their acts while we struggle to be politically correct and compromise with philosophies. It is evil for a Christian to have the truth and let others perish without sharing it for fear of being labeled intolerant, extremist and so forth.

Whole armor of God

We as soldiers of the Army of the Lord of Host have to wear the whole armor of God as we head into this battle of sharing the Good News in such a dark world and refusing to compromise with the world. We must become extremists, not the types that will shed blood and force others to accept their faith, but the ones that will bring life to the dying. May we stay strong and firm in the Lord, God bless.


I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. 16 So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth.…
Revelation 3:15,16

The sanctuary in Heaven

Let them construct a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell among them. 9 "According to all that I am going to show you, as the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture. Exodus 25:8,9 God told Moses to build him a sanctuary according to the pattern that he sees. Does that mean God created a blue print for him or is it a pattern of something in heaven? Copy of the True Tabernacle The sanctuary that they built in the wilderness is a copy of the one that is in heaven. Yes there is a sanctuary in heaven. So if there is a sanctuary in heaven , does that mean there is a High Priest also? They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain." Hebrews 8:5

Is the United States a Christian nation?

 Why calling the United states a Christian country is detrimental to Christianity.  The United states was clearly influenced by Christian principles; The pilgrims were escaping persecutions from Europe and while many of them practiced Christianity, they were still suffering persecution in Europe from state churches. The founding fathers, some being Christians, made sure to separate the church from the state. They well knew of the carnage that comes as a result of having a state religion. And so, the US became one of the rare countries without a state religion. Each person was left to follow the dictate of his own conscience.  When you call a country by a specific religion, people associate all of its behaviors with said religion. Note this example: Slavery was an institution in the United states; this would also mean that the brutality of slavery was accepted a Christian precept. Even the mistreatment of the Indians would have been considered a Christian precept. In fact,...

When God calls you. The fiery way to God

 "Why is my life so hard? Why are these things happening to me? I pray to God for healing, but there is no healing. I pray for better finances, but no money is forthcoming. I am so tired of these struggles; I am on the verge of giving up. I might as well live life the way I want to and hope to die soon. Have these thoughts ever come to your mind? These are thoughts many will encounter as they ascend the mountain of God. For many of us, life began well. We had a great time in our youth; we believed in love, we believed the future was bright, and we felt whole as a person. But somewhere along the way, hardship showed up. An illness, a broken heart, the death of a loved one, or broken aspirations sent us into despair and grief. Suddenly, life became dark and hopeless. But then, we heard the voice of God. We heard someone preach, 'Come to Jesus and all will be well; come to Jesus and He will give you the desires of your heart.' So we came to Jesus, hoping that we were back on ...
