It’s no wonder the United States
There are those sitting on their laurels refusing to get involved in state affairs, or city crime prevention, because of indifference. As a result of apathy, the streets of our nation, governmental institutions and agencies, and legislative branches are infested with crooks and scoundrels.
Some segments of society have their tail firmly tucked between their legs, blindly running amuck, unaware of the resulting affects that indifference and lack of involvement have. I’ve never seen such a sight in my life. It reminds me of the three blind mice in the nursery rhyme; and the three monkeys that are sitting next to each other…hear no evil, see no evil, and speak no evil.
Criminals, gang bangers, and crooked politicians are encouraged to spew their putrefying propaganda, via the news media, which is slowly degrading the meaning of honesty and true integrity. Any nation that pays tribute to such degradation of moral values is headed for failure.
Wealthy, wan-a-be politicians crave power more than anything. Many of them speak lies and promise things that they cannot fulfill in order to deceive people. They want to win our confidence, approval, and our vote, at any cost. They are tickling the ears of gullible, naïve citizens.
These so-called politicians that seek positions in city, state, and federal government agencies will stop at nothing to obtain their objective. They confidently spout their agenda and liberal viewpoints that someone else wrote for them, as the news media gives their undivided attention and blessings; receiving them with open arms.
On our city streets, dirt bags are running rampant and spreading infectious behavior among impressionable young people. As they grow in numbers, pulling in vulnerable kids by seducing them with drugs and notoriety for their dasterdly deeds, their infestation breeds contempt for the law.
Dim-witted, money-hungry owners of television networks, wanting higher ratings for programs, put these misfits of society on the airwaves to flaunt their vicious and disgusting escapades without thought of the negative impact and consequences that arise from the interviews. This must stop! Who cares what dishonest politicians and jailed criminals have to say! I don’t! Do you?
When our judicial system fails to enforce mandatory sentencing for criminals, because of dishonest judges, technicalities concerning Miranda Rights, or glitches that restrict prosecuting attorneys from presenting key evidence that would convict unlawful activity, it makes a mockery of the system.
As liberal judges merely slap the wrists of these parasites of society, rather than holding them accountable for the crimes they commit, and failing to prosecute them to the full extent of the law, not only do criminals grow in numbers, but in power. Judges need to enforce the laws that are already on the books rather than law makers creating new ones.
Unions for prisoner’s rights are stronger than ever before in their efforts to reduce the penalties for crimes committed. The quest to provide lawbreakers with much nicer facilities in which to be incarcerated is finding merit with those that control the spending of taxpayer’s money. This is shameful.
Criminals are certainly a small minority of the populace around us, but they seemingly have more rights than the majority of law abiding citizens. Their rhetoric in the courtrooms and jail cells is heard above decent folks that were victimized through crimes perpetrated against them.
The phrase, “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,” if applied in today’s society, might curb one’s intent to commit crimes against the innocent. Perhaps then, law and order would be restored and somewhat respected; but probably not. Satan is as vicious as he ever was where man is concerned.
Television and theater screens are saturated with movies that stimulate impressionable minds to emulate what they see. Filmmakers, with the horde of misguided media are slowly eroding the values of our land by promoting ungodly movies and distasteful news stories.
It’s no wonder the Lord weeps over this ever-increasing, godless generation. The United States of America
I cannot understand how a born-again Christian can neglect to speak out against wrongdoing. Many just gripe and complain at the dinner table of how school teachers, college professors, and government officials are going to hell in a hand basket and taking everyone else with them. Venting disagreements to family members won’t change the status quo, or what needs to be changed. It takes getting involved and standing up for what’s right.
Many Christians don’t see the need to stand in the gap and make up the hedge of righteousness. For some reason they have a so-so, “comme ci, comme ca” attitude, rather than involving themselves in matters that bring negative influences to people’s lives. I believe that it’s every Believer’s responsibility to challenge sin and do everything in their power to restrain and speak out against it.
By not challenging the election of ungodly people to important positions, our children and grandchildren will suffer the impact of godless leadership. When passive, inert, non-involved people refuse to vote and make a difference, sin abounds.
It’s no wonder that changes aren’t happening in high places with respect to honor and integrity. People are abandoning their responsibility to express their opinions inside the voting booth. Eligible voters need to exercise this privilege, while they still have it.
Treasonous, power-hungry law makers and leaders of our land continue to sell this nation down the river, because of non-involved people shirking their right to vote. Bible believing Christians need to open their eyes, while there is still time to act rather than sitting smugly in their ivory towers with a pampas, “I don’t want to get involved,” attitude, which allows sin to reign supreme.
I would like nothing more than to change the course of direction that society is heading. My desire is to awaken people from their slumber and make them aware of the need to verbalize their disagreement and distaste rather than remaining passive and saying nothing. It is time that the majority begins to rule and shove the minority (sinners) back into a place of accountability.
It’s no wonder our nation is on the brink of total anarchy. We live in a society that slaughters thousands of unborn babies every year, because they are an inconvenience, or the wrong sex.
I’ll never forget the picture I saw in a medical journal of a newly aborted baby. He was submerged upside down in a jar of formaldehyde. His lifeless body was perfectly formed in every way. The parents were too career-oriented and self-absorbed in having fun, rather than giving their baby a chance at life. Achieving their ambitions was more important than life itself. It’s no wonder the heart of God breaks when innocence is violated.
We live in a nation that winks at homosexuality and immoral living. Movie makers, advertising agencies, and the news media thrive on these kinds of explicit activities. Their sales skyrocket as do their ratings. They know what the general public wants and they give it to them. Sex sells. How far has Americans fallen from God’s grace?
It’s no wonder the world is headed for calamity, because of the molestation and killing of innocent children; drive by shootings; rapes; incest; acts of terrorism; and homicides; to name a few. It’s heartbreaking to hear of these assaults against blameless people. I could fill several pages with descriptive language about the sinful nature of scumbags that do such atrocities, but I won’t. You already know how bad things are.
Any person demonstrating a blatant disregard for the laws of the land and God’s laws is no better than pond scum. They are less than a maggot in my opinion, but God loves their soul.
Worldly speaking, these people are nothing more than pieces of dung floating in the cesspool of their own making, but God sees their need of a Savior. He would rather have them repent of their sins than see them in hell. If they continue down the path of disobedience, one day they will surely suffer the penalty for not obeying man’s laws, and for ignoring God’s laws.
Sin will be paid for one way or the other; if not in this life, the life to come. Hell was prepared for the devil and his angels, not mankind. If any human ends up there, they will have trampled the blood of Jesus under foot by disregarding the price He paid on the cross for their sins.
Serving the wrong master constitutes a life adding up to zero. It would have been better had they never been born than to suffer the penalty for their sinful existence on earth.
According to God’s teachings it is better to forgive than not. He expects us to love people that commit hennas crimes, but hate their sins. I have yet to reach this level of forgiveness and love. I pray that one day I can. For me to love with this capacity would certainly take a miracle, but God is able to help me grow in grace. After all, I am a sinner saved by grace.
God loves without reservation. He gave His only begotten son to die for sinners like this—sinners like me. By the Lord’s example we can learn to be more like Him and love our neighbors as our self. This is the commandment of God. I will try harder to obey it.
(Mark -31), “And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment.” vs.31 “And the second, like it, is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.”
Had it not been for God’s grace, where would I be today? What would my thought process be like? At what prison facilities might I be spending a life sentence? I am just a sinner saved by grace through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I now have a hope that one day I will see Him in all of His glory, because He forgave me of my sins when I called out to Him.
How much longer will Jesus tarry before coming back to take Christians home with Him? How bad must our streets become before justice is rendered? How many more children will suffer at the hands of sick, demented individuals that serve the devil?
What will it take to cleanse the earth from the deluge of immorality and sedition that is flooding the land? How many babies will never see the light of day; only feel the razor edge of a scalpel as it slices through their tender flesh, dismembering them as though they were nothing more than a blob of tissue; only to be aborted through a vacuum tube into a garbage sack, and then tossed into a trash can? God help us!
One day Mother Earth will be purged of sin once and for all. God will use fire rather than water this time. Every person not abiding in truth will be burned to ashes. This planet will again be cleansed from the impurity of sin, but not before the trumpet of the Lord sounds and the dead in Christ rises to meet Him in the air, with those living for God. Together, they will receive their awesome and grand reward in heaven.
My prayer is this, “Come quickly Lord Jesus! Receive your bride unto yourself.” I am looking forward, with expectation, to that day when I sit at the marriage supper of the Lamb; to be united with Jesus, the Lamb of God. What a day that will be!
No longer will I have reservations of walking down darkened streets at nighttime—there is no night in heaven; Jesus is the Everlasting Light. No longer will I look over my shoulder in fear—serenity and peace will last forever in heaven. No longer will there be a need for intercessory prayer—I’ll see God face to face. No longer will I be tempted by the devil to sin—he and his angels will be cast into the lake of fire to burn in hell forever.
It’s no wonder I’m looking forward to heaven. I will be reunited with loved ones that have gone on before. What a glorious reunion that will be! It’s no wonder I feel joy in my soul. I have a hope that the world cannot take away. It’s no wonder I feel good about sharing these thoughts with you. You too can have hope in your heart through Jesus Christ if you don’t already have it.
It’s no wonder Jesus said in (Matthew -30), “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” vs.29 “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” vs.30 “For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
Jesus wants to free people from the bondage of this world. He desires to give everyone meaning in living and not just a mere existence. He wants each of us to have an abundant life; full of peace and happiness.
It’s no wonder the Holy Spirit breathed upon men of old; inspiring them to write the ‘Living Book of Love’. In the Bible we learn that God is love and He cares deeply for all of us.
(2 Peter 3:9), “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”
It’s no wonder you are reading these words of encouragement. The hour of the Lord’s appearing is nigh at hand. Jesus is coming soon. We must be ready to meet Him when He returns. Today is the day of salvation…not tomorrow.
