Evil
and sin come upon us as a mighty hurricane, moving slowly and
methodically destroying everything in its path. Destruction howls
like the wind, undermining the very foundation of all that we admire
and trust. Evil lurches out at the family devouring the cohesiveness
of love, trust and communication creating walls of isolation,
unbelief, and contempt. Thereby neutralizing the principles upon
which our very existence is founded. Evil strikes at the heart of the
governing bodies of our societies. It began in our educational
systems and has infected every level of governance reaching to the
seat of our national and international institutions.
Apparently,
leaders and policymakers have forgotten that the education of our
children will invariably affect our nation and ultimately the world.
What we teach in our homes, churches, schools and universities will
establish the mindset for the succeeding generations. The guiding
principles of our forefathers are strategic and indispensable
elements to the continued survival of this nation as we have known
it. This nation was established as a democracy with governance by the
people and for the people. The ideals of love of God and country have
sustained us in all our conflict throughout our history. If we allow
the name of God and Jesus to be maligned and degraded, we are setting
the example for the next generation. If we allow the principles of
personal freedom and liberty to be diluted and discarded, we will pay
the price in defeat and ruin.
A
people that reject God will be given over to their own devices and
suffer the consequences. The structure of the family has
disintegrated because we have not followed God. The health of our
churches is diminished and some have expired because we have not
followed God. Every institution, every governing body at every level
has depreciated in value and relevance because we have not followed
God.
Is
that what we want as a nation? Do we want to be abandoned by our
Creator and go it all alone? I think not. So then, what are we to do?
Moral fortitude and intellectual rhetoric can not address the plague
of sin that has consumed mankind. The answers cannot be legislated,
addressed by executive order or by a ruling by the highest court in
the land. None of these actions can put us back on course as the
human race.
I
hear the Holy Ghost saying, you can't think your way out of this. You
can't buy or spend your way out. You can't bargain, barter or
compromise. We must return to the TRUTH or go down with the sinking
ship. We can carry on our religious events void of the inspiration
and revelation of God or we can repent and allow God to forgive our
sin and heal our land. The choice is ours as an individual, as a
nation and as the entire world. (To be continued). The Message: A
