“Scatter, no wait, maybe if we go left we’ll find peace. Then again, if we go right we might find financial security. Maybe if we leave this place, we can leave all of the uncertainty behind.”
People are searching for answers. They are looking for security, peace and days gone by where everything made sense. We live in a time where everything seems to have fallen apart in a very short period of time. Our government has failed us. Their self importance doesn’t allow them to take our votes seriously anymore. They restructure the system when the votes don’t come out the way they want. Our judicial system has failed us. They are legislating from the bench and are telling everyone that they have the power to make laws regardless of legislation or the people’s will. The media has failed us. They have an agenda and are trying to tell us what we need to believe. The financial system has failed us. Wall Street is floundering and doesn’t have the power to save our nation from financial ruin. The educational system has failed us. We have the highest rate of uneducated graduates in history. The entertainment industry has failed us. Their supposed family friendly entertainment mocks everything this nation once stood for. The church has failed us. They stopped being the moral barometer for this nation a long time ago and became introverted. They're content existing within their four walls.
"One nation under God." Our founding father’s believed in four simple, but astounding words. They stood up against religious persecution, tyranny and were willing to lay their lives down to bring about our nations underlying heritage. Inalienable rights given to us by God. Our original foundation set the boundaries and standards on how we are to live individually and as a nation. Our nation has slowly turned it’s heart away from over two hundred years of principles that has made us the greatest nation in the world. Instead we’ve created a society where there are no boundaries or moral absolutes. We’ve all but told God that he doesn’t exist.
When a nation walks away from the principles of “One nation under God” it starts to slowly crumble from the inside out. Sadly the blame lays at the feet of God’s children, the church. When the children of God withdraw from society and become introverted, they become less effective than the Pharisees were in Jesus’ day. Many Prophets, supposedly the voice of God to his people, are proclaiming that our nation is going to fall. Most of the church lays impassive so that they can protect their comforts and try to stay under the radar screen of society so they won’t have to stand up for what they believe in.
The nation is crashing and the church is turning a blind eye to everything that’s going on around her. Is this the end of the story or is there more. I believe that there is a lot more. I believe our nation is in one of the most profound times in our history. The people alive today should consider themselves honored because we are in a specific time in history that may well turn out to be pivotal for many generations to come.
