The Land on a Blade
I guess basically I would like to see our world take the moral high road. I would love to see responsibilities taken seriously, and moral deficits considered worse than fashion deficits. But there is a major problem with that. I don’t think our society can have the morals of Christianity without the Christianity. Christian has nearly become a meaningless word like nice or cool. It has been reduced to the point where it means that the person talking thinks what they say is good. People that wouldn’t know a Bible verse from a hole in their head are saying some idea is ”Christian” or that someone is a good “Christian.” Ick!
Self-sacrifice, putting others before self, and doing what is right despite the cost cannot and will not happen in a society that rejects God and rejects Biblical Christianity. Yeah, Tyler might be right. We may be a few years from dictatorship in this country. So what should we do? Simple, same thing God has told us was our job was back when Christianity was under a dictator. ” Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” It is the power of the gospel working in the hearts of man that will truely change our society. Maybe we should petition the government for that. We could get a special interest group and have rallies.
No. That would be interesting, but that it’s not the method God gave us to reach this world. We have the awesome tool of preaching which means telling people. So let’s change America, tell your neighbor about Jesus and proclaim the truth into a dark world. Long live that REVOLUTION!

Here, here!
It is always a comfort to find someone out there that believes the same things that you do. It makes our world seem a little less bleak. Thank you for your thought provoking blog.

That’s part of why our founding fathers opted for a Republic with 3 branches of government to try to achieve a self-limiting balance of power. The Executive branch was to limit the power of the Legislative & Judicial branches and vice versa. Unfortunately, the Executive branch seems to have achieved almost dictatorially powers with “Executive orders” and no punishments or even objections to its usurpation of the Legislative’s branch authority to declare war.
Any system of government is only as good as the people running it.
