It’s
Sunday, July 22nd. I am Lance
Pisowicz and this is Lance’s Weekly Walk!
This will be my last blog before my vacation to Florida. I will return on August 10th with
my Friday blog, “What’s Wrong With Washington”.
Before we begin I have a couple of reminders for you. If you haven’t yet, be sure to follow me
at: www.twitter.com/lancejponline. My Facebook page is also getting more
attention as several of you have liked me there. You can find it at: www.facebook.com/lancepisowicz. Also a reminder for you to check out Lance
Pisowicz Online (www.wix.com/lancejp/online). From there you can access my Facebook and
Twitter page, my Youtube channel, and everything to do with my blogs. You can also fill out a prayer request there
by clicking on the “Media” tab at the top of your page. One last reminder for today and it’s a
special one for this summer. If you
haven’t heard about the Ultimate Patriot competition and sweepstakes I
encourage you to visit www.wix.com/lancejp/patriot for more
details. There is a lot of great
features and information about the event waiting for you there. I hope you enjoy Lance’s Weekly Walk and
everything there for you at Lance Pisowicz Online.
There
is one key topic that I would like to highlight today. I would like to examine what exactly makes
Christianity different from the religions of this world. Why is it so important that the United States
stay true in principal to its Christian morals and values?
The
answer is quite simple. The fact is that
true Christianity is not found in ritual or religion. There are those who call themselves
Christians because they go to church, read their Bible, or have prayed “a
prayer” but the fact is that these people have not seen any change in their
lifestyle or world view. True Christianity
is found in a relationship with Jesus Christ.
It is God reaching out to mankind rather than man trying to reach God on
his own.
Unfortunately
in today’s society there are many people out there who call themselves
Christians based on ritual and religion.
They are sometimes among the strictest in these things, but are
hypocrites in reality.
But
when Christianity is found in its true form, it is the most beneficial
influence government and society can have.
Patrick Henry puts it best in this quote:
“It
cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was
founded, not by religionists, but by Christians, not on religions, but on the
gospel of Jesus Christ!”
In
other words when people are true to the Bible’s teachings and focus on
relationship rather than religion, there is not a better influence structure
than Christianity. The ideas of helping
those in need, loving one’s neighbor, and doing the right thing have been at
the center of not just American ethics but global morals.
Whether
I end up in the private or public sector, my relationship with Jesus Christ
will always be a key factor in my decision making process.
“Lead
me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight
before me.” - Psalms 5:8
In
addition to influencing my thought process, God also is the driving force
behind my perseverance and resolve to do my best even when nobody else is
watching.
Whatever
you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men. - Colossians 3:23
As
Abraham Lincoln once said:
“My
concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on
God's side, for God is always right”
I
think that just about sums up what the outlook of a true American leader needs
to be. Right in America’s backbone- a
relationship with Jesus Christ.
Thank
you for joining me again today. I hope
you have enjoyed your time here, and I invite you to join me on Lance Pisowicz
Online (www.wix.com/lancejp/online). I will see you all again with my Friday blog
on August 10th. I am off to
Florida later on in the week, so hopefully I’ll be able to connect with you all
on Twitter and Facebook during that time.
Thanks again. God bless you and have a great week!
