There is a time in a nation’s history that requires the people of that nation to re-assess their life styles and their reluctance to seek God. There are two stories in the Bible of two different nations that were at this crossroad. Their records are found in the books of Jeremiah and Jonah.
We have had some friends and acquaintances that are going through tough times right now. One has had her hours at work cut. She is single and now can’t even pay her rent. One couple had a company, that was supposed to be helping them, steel all the money out of their bank account. Another can’t pay for their children’s swim lessons. And it goes on. There are many more stories out there of not so merry times. People in these circumstances tend to look at the circumstances that surround them. It is only natural but is it the best thing to be doing? Is it the right thing to do? Our culture would have us to believe that we should fear because there is no help to be had. That the circumstances are too big to overcome. That maybe fact but it is not true.
There has been a moving away from God over the past one hundred years to the point that we have almost completely forgotten who God is and how this country, the United States of America, came to be. It was because of the people’s belief in God and Him protecting and prospering them that this country was formed.
This past week Honduras arrested their President, Mr. Jose Manuel Zelaya and then sent him into exile. Many nations are calling this a military coup but it wasn’t. the military was carrying out orders from both the Supreme Court of Honduras and the Congress of Honduras.
Since the inception of this blog it has been my desire and goal to give quality information that will benefit the Christian and those seeking answers in their lives. It has been tempting for me to point fingers at the elected officials and corporate big wigs that either don’t have a clue as to what is going on or don’t care as long as they can fleece another dollar out of the good people of the U.S.A.. But that doesn’t help people
Had a great time the other day; my daughter and I went horseback riding down country roads. It was a warm and sunny day, the birds were singing and the flowers were putting on a show of color and fragrance for us. It was stupendous!
It was at about the halfway point that I noticed two houses that were vacant and starting to deteriorate. The gutters were falling off the weeds were high all around the house and a window was broken out of one of them. You know, when you’re out riding a horse for three or four hours there is not much for your mind to do, you butt yes, your mind, no. So, I had plenty of time to think about those houses and came to a terrible conclusion. The banks will let them and the millions like them rot to nothing! HA, you say, this guy is nuts! Perhaps but the fact remains that the banks will let the empty houses AND empty commercial buildings in this country decay, crumble and rot.
