The World Today

Greed and entitlement is our one way ticket to hell in a hand basket. With everyone being so self-absorbed, no one even notices the steady path we are on. I think MLK would be ashamed of the society we live in today. He had a dream that everyone would be equal and sit in brotherhood. Yes segregation has ended but his dream still has not come full circle. I am not saying that everyone will be financially equal or that discrimination doesn’t exist but that work and persistence is absent, the concept of love thy neighbor has been aborted and have been replaced with the mentality of what more can I get by any means necessary. There is an elephant in the room that needs to be addressed for our country and society’s sake. This elephant is political correctness, free-trade agreements, and inflated compensation for modern day pirates. Reform of policies is a must to correct the path we are on. Without a change in policies the rich will continue to get richer and the poor will get poorer. How many of our standards and values are we going to abandon at the expense of political correctness? How much longer are we going to abandon our blue collar workers by allowing our jobs to be shipped to other countries? How much longer are we going to follow our government blindly down this path of mutilation?

In 2 Chronicles 7:14 it is written “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land”
