The Hope Of A Nation

  What change?  Who said anything about change?  Like the proverbial ostrich with her head stuck in the sand to avoid the present danger, so we stand with all but our attention exposed to the threatening winds of change.  We groan at the effort required to gain even a working knowledge of our social ills; so, the ability to defend our feeble opinions in places of little consequence hardly seems worth the effort.  We have a tendency to leave the fight to the masters of those realms which are unfamiliar to us.

 The masters of the realms in which these changes are debated with consequence, are our politicians, who dedicate their lives to causes that have neither been defined nor understood by the masses they supposedly represent.  And then there are the special interest lobbyists who promote their horrors for hire.  The machinery of our Republic is broken down!

  Evil is at work in our day, and we who stand on the sidelines to cheer or to jeer, are much to blame for the freedoms that are being lost to it.  For the most part we do nothing to stand against the tide.  …But what can we do?  God, the Creator and Sustainer of all that is, has prescribed the answer…

Trust Christ For Forgiveness  “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16).”  He is our Hope!

Learn God’s Perspective  “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. (2Timothy 3:16-17).” 

Pray  I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;  For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. (1Timothy 2:1-2).”
