Evil
and sin has come upon us like 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 of the darkness devouring the
cohesiveness of love, trust, and communication creating walls of
isolation, unbelief, and contempt. The darkness has hidden the
principles upon which our very existence is founded. Evil strikes at
the heart of the governing bodies of our societies and has infected
every level of governance reaching even to “spiritual wickedness in
high places.” Eph. 6:12
Our
leaders and policymakers have forgotten that the education of our
children will affect our nation and ultimately the world. What we
teach in our homes, churches, schools, and universities will establish
the mindset for 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 principles of personal freedom and liberty to be diluted and
discarded, we will pay the price in defeat and ruin.
We
are setting the standard for the next generation. A people that
reject God will be given over to their own devices and suffer the
consequences. We cannot allow the name of God and Jesus to be
demeaned and degraded. We must hold to the standard that God has
given for us. We must follow God!
The
structure of the family has disintegrated because we have not
followed God. The health of our churches has diminished and some have
even 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 people? 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 Spirit 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. (continued) The
