Hello,

I am excited to join a conservative forum. I am 17. My name is Eric Morris. I am a self professed Christian-Conservative. I love politics and I have a deep seeded love for this nation but above all God, my Lord and Savior, comes before anything.

I know, from a historic stand point, our nation was founded on Biblical principles and I wish for those to remain in tact. It drives me crazy when Christians ask why they should even be interested in politics. When our nation was first built, it was built on Christian morality, so the obvious choice for our economy was a free market (capitalism), but capitalism must rely on people of morality, morality in turn relies on a people of godliness, if those people are silent, if they sit back, the system collapses. I would make the argument that our latest “economic crisis,” is a crisis of morality, because the Church has been passive in American culture. Obama cannot fix this crisis, congress cannot, and china cannot. The only thing that can save this nation is for the church to bow on her knees, before a holy and awesome God, and say in one voice, “God show grace to our nation. Save us!” If we do not, America is in a dire situation. Christ alone is the author of freedom, without him, without his guiding hand, our nation will cease being free, socialism will start to creep in, which will be followed by communism, destroying the very thing we hold so dear--freedom.

I know what you are asking, “Why all the doom and gloom?” It is for one reason-the Christians need to wake up; we need to fight for what God has blessed us with. We know truth yet they fear the proclamation of that truth. You can look at so many issues across the spectrum that Christians should be on the forefront of, but we aren’t. We sit there and do nothing; we let the country wither and die. I will bring up one issue, which is abortion, it is a vile act, and it is murder without consequence. Christians sit back every day and let thousands die, without a tear being shed. The facts are on our side, we know what abortion is, but the Church does nothing. Yes it is easier to sit back; it is easier to let women have this choice of convenience. It is probably one of the hardest debates Christians will face, because of the emotion on both sides, but I don’t remember God saying “doing the right thing would be easy.”One day every one of us will answer for this crime against humanity. All I ask is, “Where will you stand?” Politics matter and Christians should care, because of what is at stake. It is a matter of life or death, it is a matter of liberty or tyranny, and it is a matter of salvation or eternal damnation.

In Christ,
Eric Morris

Welcome to the forum, Eric. Do you still have problems. There are certain restrictions for new members. But normally you should be able to change your sig etc. and to pm a mod.

Did you check out our A Newbie's Guide to the Forums yet?
