Your laws ignore our deepest needs,
Your words are empty air.
You've stripped away our heritage,
You've outlawed simple prayer.
Now gunshots fill our classrooms,
And precious children die.
You seek for answers everywhere,
And ask the question "Why?"
You regulate restrictive laws,
Through legislative creed.
And yet you fail to understand,
That God is what we need!

Flip-Flopped Values
-- We ridicule the absolute truth of God’s Word but call it pluralism.
-- We worship other gods but call it multiculturalism.
-- We endorse perversion but called it an alternative lifestyle.
-- We exploit the poor but call it the lottery.
-- We reward laziness but call it welfare.
-- We kill the pre-born but call it choice.
-- We don’t discipline our children but call it building self esteem.
-- We abuse power but call it political savvy.
-- We covet our neighbor's possessions but call it ambition.
-- We pollute the air with profanity/pornography but call it free speech
-- We ridicule the values of our forefathers but call it enlightenment.
· “No one can be certain of the future. Cultures in decline have,
unpredictably, turned themselves around before. Perhaps through the providence
of God, ours will too. Perhaps, ultimately, we will become so sick of the moral
and aesthetic environment that is growing in America that stricter standards
will be imposed democratically or by moral disapproval… If its intellectual and moral
bankruptcy is repeatedly exposed, perhaps modern liberalism will die of
shame…"
· "A great nation is like a great man: When he makes a mistake,
he realizes it. Having realized it, he admits it. Having admitted it, he
corrects it. He considers those who point out his faults as his most benevolent
teachers. He thinks of his enemy as the shadow that he himself casts. If a
nation ... nourishes its own people and doesn't meddle in the affairs of
others, it will be a light to all nations in the world."

Despotism or Anarchy? Not the Only Choices!
"[D]emocracy
will soon degenerate into an anarchy, such an anarchy that every man will do
what is right in his own eyes and no man's life or property or reputation or
liberty will be secure, and every one of these will soon mould itself into a
system of subordination of all the moral virtues and intellectual abilities,
all the powers of wealth, beauty, wit and science, to the wanton pleasures, the
capricious will, and the execrable cruelty of one or a very few."
--
John Adams, An Essay on Man's Lust for Power, 1763
"For
avoiding the extremes of despotism or anarchy ... the only ground of hope must
be on the morals of the people. I believe that religion is the only solid base
of morals and that morals are the only possible support of free
governments."
-- Governor Morris, A Diary of
the French Revolution, 1792
When
we no longer turn to the religion of the Creator as revealed in His inspired
Book, the Bible for our moral, then we are doomed as a people! There is no
doubt that economics is a big issue in this years' elections but the problem
with economics is not economics - its divine economics. The first rule of
divine economics is to "deny self" (Luke 9:23).
