Have you seen these billboards lining the roadside as you've traveled the Highways and Interstates of America? The idea behind the signs is to encourage people to "get back" to the Bible.
America is considered by many to be a "Christian nation." However, our nation teaches an anti-Christian version of the origins of man and the universe. The ACLU has all but outlawed the words "Merry Christmas" from our public conversations during the month of December.
The mass-murder of pre-born humans is condoned and even legislated... Adultery and Pornography is glamorized in our entertainment... Our politicians make a public mockery of faith in public and private life and business... As Paul warned Timothy 2 Timothy 3:1-7 most Americans claim some sort of "spirituality" with more than 80% of adults claiming an affiliation with the Christian faith... And while those same adults could name 10 beer brands or the ingredients of the McDonald's Big-Mac in less than 30 seconds, few, if any, could name more than 3 of the 10 Commandments listed in the Book of Exodus found in the Bible they would claim to believe in as the book of their "faith."
In order to help people "get back" to the Bible, shouldn't we do what the Bible says 2 Timothy 4:1-5 rather than try to make up some sort of new, catchy gimmick? My question is whether the intentions of these billboards might be misplaced or not. Romans 10:14-15
Personally, I love these billboards - however, forsaking God's Word in order to promote it just isn't the method God Himself has provided for us to bring the world to Him... We need to open our mouths and warn people that God is going to have a day of Judgement when He is going to reward each of us according to what we have done. Romans 1:18-32
Jesus said "unless you Repent, you shall also likewise perish." Luke 13:3 And Paul preached that people should "Repent toward God, and have Faith toward Christ." Acts 20:20-21
What does Rush Hour or "The Game" have to do with salvation?
