Who is your higher power? Museum or hospital?

Good morning all!  God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!
     Have you ever just stopped and thought about the word we throw about freely - CHRISTIAN - and what it means?  Christian mean to be Christ-like or a Christ-follower.  How often is this word used today, or should I say misused today in America and the world?  Over 80% of America will say they are Christian.
   Unfortunately, to many, Christian means believing in a "higher power".  Why do we give credit to a "higher power" and not just reveal God.  Could it be because that person does not truly believe in the one sovereign God?  
    I don't believe in a higher power, I believe in GOD who sent HIS SON JESUS to die on the cross for my sins.  Oh......we cannot say God as we may offend someone.  Well, maybe I am offended because we don't say GOD!  Because we say "happy holidays" and not Merry Christmas.  Maybe I am offended because of the extreme abuse of separating church and state.  No prayer in school, public buildings, public meetings; yet, if you will look at our national monuments in Washington D.C. scripture is there for all to see.  Hmmmm.  Did our forefathers know we would go to this extreme?  NO! But our father in heaven did.
    People become pious. What is pious - seemingly virtuous - note the key word "seemingly"? And virtuous means of moral character.  So this would be "seems to be of moral character." Hmmm!
  Psalm 25:8   Good and upright is the Lord; Therefore He teaches sinners in the way.
Psalm 51:13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners shall be converted to You.

    We are sinners and do need the LORD GOD.  Some don't go to church because of the people inside - who they feel sit in judgment of them  -whether it be true or not.  Sometimes the judgment we feel from others is our own judgment of ourselves.  Because of my sin, I think all know, all care, and all are looking and judging.  Baaa!   I will leave you with this thought from a church sign:

                                  This church is a hospital for sinners,
                                  Not a museum of saints!
Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
