Here in the United States, our founding fathers gave us a government that set the people free, allowing free speech, freedom of religion, freedom to move, freedom to do, and the freedom to pursue, thus allowing us the freedom to be creative, to be inventive, which gave us the power to become a rich and powerful nation.
From this endowment, we learned to keep our eyes on the road: to keep our hands on the wheel, do not look to the left, do not look to the right, but to keep our hearts and minds focused on the future, and thus we created focal points:
Focus on goals. Focus on education. Focus on jobs and careers. Focus on money. Focus on getting married, having children, buying houses and cars, and taking family vacations: from which we return, rested and relaxed, and ready to re-focus on the year ahead.
Focus on the future. Focus on a nestegg for retirement. And leave this world as a better place for our children.
With our focus finely sharpened, and with the liberty to pursue, we created family businesses, companies and corporations, which enabled us to make more money, create more jobs; and, to make life easier as well as more efficient and faster in our productivity, we invented products, goods, and services, in addition to inventions of entertainment, for our rest and relaxation.
In short and in total, it has been we, the people, who have built the United States of America---and not our people in the offices of the United States Government.
And within this world of freedom that we have so richly enjoyed---in our pursuits of The American Dream---our government has been taking part of our money in taxes while churches and religions have been accepting our money in the form of tithes and offerings.
This blog today is not an indictment against taxes; neither is it an indictment against tithes and offerings: for both are necessary to the existence of government, churches, and religions.
As for the United States, however, we are in a big mess! Our United States Department of the Treasury is bankrupt! This is the reason our government has had to borrow money from foreign nations. And we are bankrupt because of internal corruption: the hands of corruption have misappropriated the peoples' money.
Churches, too, have experienced internal corruption and many have fallen all across the United States, for the hands of corruption have misapproprated the Lord's money. More will also fall if the corruption is not addressed.
On the night before Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem, the Lord said to the disciples in the garden: Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. (Matthew 26: 41)
For if we fall into temptation, we enter the world of corruption; and the world of corruption is the place of darkness, which is the place of evil: out of which comes evil and more evil. This is the world of secrecy and a hidden agenda. The hidden agenda, therefore, is to extinguish the Light of Christ, and to block the Light of Christ from reaching people in the United States as well as people throughout the world.
To be truthful, the United States is in a mess because the hidden agenda is also a work to bring down the United States by people of darkness.
Churches, too, are in a mess because the hidden agenda is at work to bring down churches by people of darkness.
This present danger is bigger than we, the people can fix. We are incapable of fixing our nation as we are also incapable of fixing our churches. We need help from above, which is from heaven.
To paint a picture, the United States, with its people as well as with churches, is out on the water as a ship upon the ocean; and if God does not help us, we will sink. If we pray, God will help us; but if we fail to heed the warning and fail to pray, we will sink quickly.
Please pray that God will rescue the perishing. Will you do that?
Amen.
