Just thinking out loud

We, as a nation, are so far into the demise of America that it will take a sacrifice greater than the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and every other war we’ve fought here in America. These wars were fought essentially to preserve our principles and to defend our borders (and maybe even oil). But if you really believe this country is reversible from its current path, then don’t we need to begin with its people? A great country such as ours, need great leaders. But I also contend that our leaders only represent our people. I believe, if we look at our leaders you’ll see a clear image of us. Freedom IS the greatest thing this country possesses, but if it’s not under the auspices of constraint, then it’s not freedom—it becomes moral decay.

I suggest, if we’re not willing to give up things like, our greed for good, pornography for our own wives, our time for our kids and senior citizens, then we’re not ready to sacrifice for the betterment of this country. Like the average dysfunctional person, we’re only willing to point fingers (such as I am) at what others AREN”T doing right. I strongly believe our moral compass has gone haywire and is the reason we can't get along anymore. There are reasons why lying, stealing, racism, cheating, greed, adultery, sex before marriage, homosexuality, are wrong. And, I’m certain I don’t need to be the one to point these reasons out. But I often ask myself questions such as,

Why aren’t we prosecuting those who commit adultery?

Why can’t we allow the churches, who really care about the people, take back the power of treating the sick? After all, who built most of the hospitals?

Why can’t we rid the government of all welfare programs and hand it back to the churches? “Those who don’t work, don’t eat!"

Why do we put up with all nonsense litigation that costs us so many tax dollars, like the inmate who sued the government because he couldn’t get the crunchy (or smooth, I forget) peanut butter while incarcerated… and won???

I would really like to get this country back to its Christian principles it was founded on. Freedom of religion to the founders meant freedom of the Christian denominations, not world religions. I don’t mean to force the Christian religion onto others, that’s not how it works. It only works when we show others how much we care for them and their future along with a strong moral stance and apologetics. I strongly believe we all need to reach and convince this lazy, greedy, adulterous generation (including me), that it is our moral depravity that is sending us to our doom, not the health care bill, not Obama, Pelosi, or Reed. If we had a moral foundation, these leaders would not be known today.

This God, who loves and cherishes his children, has often used the enemy of His people to destroytheir nation once they have forsaken Him. It just might be the radical Islamic nations that will be the instruments used by God to finalize our judgment of moral decay. I think, He is warning us...
