The answer to today’s ungodliness—take it to GOD! Pray for forgiveness! We have aided in the situations in various ways. How can that be? Individually we have not all prayed about it in the specific situations that have occurred. We have not voted for responsible people and representatives who remained faithful! We have not written the letters to the responsible people. Some of us have done these things, but not enough of us.
We have accepted the world’s views and ways. In not controlling the political parties and the bureaucracy’s grasping excessive power and limiting our voices in our nation, we have enabled the severe deterioration of our nation!
GOD may leave us to wallow in our mire that we have allowed to develop if we do not give our problems to HIM in prayer and do our responsibilities properly. If we continue in our ways, our consequences are our righteous judgment and penalty!
Civilizations and nations rise and fall because of lack of attention to this detail and personal responsibility. It is not and it is everyone’s fault. “I’m not political!” This is a seemingly innocent claim! You are responsible to GOD to care for your society and to support it with prayer and responsible actions.
You may not be a political party animal. That is understandable. But all American citizens are responsible for our country. If our leaders are not serving US well, it is our responsibility to do something about the problem! Praying for them, even the ones we view as bad, and our country
is priority one! The second priority is to replace them with more faithful servants!
“ In the first instance, the success of the usurpation will depend on the executive and judiciary departments, which are to expound and give effect to the legislative acts;
and in the last resort a remedy must be obtained from the people who can, by the election of more faithful representatives, annul the acts of the usurpers.”
Federalist Paper #44, Madison, 1797
This is one of my meditations and themes for the last several years. It is like a unfathomable, universe-wide subject. This is a good starting discussion of this subject. It is packed with meaning.
Humans are made in GOD’s Image and HIS likeness.
That Image in humans is this: our individual spirit & attributes.
The reason is so that we can relate to HIM. Our excuse that GOD isn’t human and a figment of our imagination is totally destroyed by Jesus. Freedom is in this discussion.
GOD created humans to be able to relate to HIM. Jesus came to be our individual, sinless Lamb of sacrifice. He will come again as the Messiah that the Jews are expecting but it will be to return believers (all those who have chosen to believe forever) to the Eden relationship with GOD. {The Biblical book of Leviticus is what perfect obedience would look like.
I finally understand its meaning and use.}
What GOD and a human creates are reflections of themselves. They are alike enough for the ...

While it is humanly impossible for humans to be totally good, we always can do much better than we have been doing if we individually want to do so! There is no concept that humans can totally achieve in this life. This applies individually, in groups or collectively.
The pathologies of today’s culture are apparent. However, they are called benefits & loudly proclaimed. They must be clearly seen as dangerous & wrong to our once-free country!
They are deliberately destroying Christianity, our country, our families, our individual personhood & our individual freedoms. Does this seem to be too extreme a statement?
Our media are calling evil “good” & good “evil”. Should that be totally right & silently allowed? Free speech & opinions must not live there? Freedom of speech is not absolute. This severe problem should be curtailed & limited within the proper bounds & situations!
Is it possible or allowed to seek those limits that do not destroy freedom of speech itself?

I do not support ANY, ANY political personality cults!!!! Left, Right, middle, it doesn’t matter! If you take the political part out, it is still so! Is this clear enough? I don’t support cultish “groupyism”!
My expectation is that any American who wishes to serve America in a political office would speak and act in support of our cherished American principles that are reflected in the best writings of our founders and all sensible people since then!
I am disgusted by the pragmatic politics and the excessive partisanship that the media love, especially for Democrats, it seems. I am disgusted with the pro-to-total leftism in our media. They do not represent thinking, peaceful citizens’ views! Individual humans are all over the belief spectrum with the issues. That is why discussion is necessary!
The people that I enjoy watching and reading at least attempt to tell the truth as they see it and are willing to listen to varying opinions and discuss them! From libertarian to center ...
