Synergy Of Church and State

Preaching from the text of 1 Samuel 14:4-23 where Saul's son Jonathan and his armor-bearer went - just the two of them in the power of GOD - into an enemy camp and were given of GOD a great victory. Faith in GOD is victory that overcomes all that is deficient of any faith in GOD - 1 John 5:4 -. Now each of us who stay as a team-player on Jesus' victory team - Matthew 28:18-20 - are being led in Christ Jesus' triumph - 2 Corinthians 2:14 -. We are to overcomers of evil by advancement of GOD's good - Romans 12:21 -.

The First Amendment was endorsed to encourage GODly and moral living. Church and State both are to be accountable to interests that serve GOD. When a 'Separation of Church and State' is proposed in which Church is banned from State participation and State is banned from Church participation, we have a 'nation divided internally against itself that will not stand' - Matthew 12:25 -. The First Amendment was not intended to be a death knell to our nation at its very inception. We are to be a people who together 'serve GOD with gladness' - Psalm 100:2 -.

Learn religion that is pro-GOD; not that concoction (device) of the term which is used to mean malevolence against GOD. Something disingenuous is happening when people attempt to use the word 'religion' to bad-rap GOD. Religion is worship of GOD in salvation of Christ Jesus and guidance of GOD's Holy Spirit. What is not this true religion is 'irreligion' - not religion. Why form the fence line here and not elsewhere? Here is where I think it is most a possibility that many will realize they are on the wrong side - that they are on a course of self-destruction to be opposed to GOD, and turn their loyalty to GOD. If 'religion' is not about rightly understanding GOD - mention of it for some other purpose - is a SCAM.
