"ARE YOU FULL OF GUILT" BY PASTOR MIKE TAYLOR FROM "RAPTURE READY"!!

Are You Full of Guilt? - by Pastor Mike Taylor -http://www.churchofgod-usa.org/1/post/2016/08/are-you-full-of-guilt.html

 

"Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

 

That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:" (1st Peter 1:6-7)

 

I was listening to a minister talk about an interview that Peggy Noonan had with Patti Davis, the daughter of President Reagan and it struck me odd about what she said. She was talking about when she was a little girl, that she saw the plight of the black people of this country, which is a sad story of in itself, and she wished that her family and herself could somehow be changed to being black. She said that she felt so guilty about the plight of the black man. She also went on to being full of guilt for the suffering of people in other countries, and the poor who have not got it as good as the poorest among us and being American, while expressing the emotional feelings of "guilt".

 

First off, I would like to ask Ms. Davis, if she were around, what would you change about being white, privileged, or being born in America if you could? First off, you cannot change the fact that you were born of the white race (anymore than you can change the color of any person's skin). It's out of your control. You can do nothing about being born in the USA and have had the privileges that most Americans take for granted. Even the poorest in the USA have it FAR better than some of the people in third world countries. I would say a better emotional response would be to be "thankful". When I heard this I wondered why anyone would be feeling guilty about being a white American, let alone being blessed with material wealth? I believe it is a mindset of secular society about how they handle the world around them. Let me see if I can put this into a perspective, by the end of this sermon so maybe you will understand.
