COMMENT SUMMARY: No comments were received.
MY COMMENT: Various persons have differing opinions about
the worst, or most threatening, problem facing the country. Recently, President Obama said that man-made climate
change was the greatest threat to America’s security. During a 2012 debate, Mitt Romney said that
Russia posed the greatest threat to the American people.
We certainly have a lot of problems to choose from:
terrorist organizations
world financial crisis
proliferation of nuclear
weapons
breakdown of the family
race relations
rogue nation states
debt
overpopulation
climate change
asteroids
illegal migration
courts that create new law
unconstitutional executive
orders
military expansion by Russia
and China
Forgive me if I left your favorite off the list.
Our opinion about the problem that poses the greatest
threat to America depends largely upon one’s point of view. Personally, I find President Obama’s view
that man- made climate change is the greatest existential threat to human kind
laughable. I am sure he would find mine
laughable as well.
Regarding the temporal (earthly) problems facing America,
I think that the national debt, and its impact on monetary policy, is our
greatest threat. The value of my money
is declining, and the ability of poor and middle income Americans to buy the
things we need is eroding.
It is true that the dollar is relatively strong against
other currencies at present, but I think that is due to the weakness of other
currencies, and to currency manipulation, rather than to the strength of the
dollar. If the dollar fails, chaos will
result, in America and around the world, and with it a complete breakdown of
the social order that binds societies together and enables them to function.
There is, however, a spiritual problem that supersedes
the many temporal problems that threaten our country. As a people, Americans are turning away from
God, and rejecting the way God said for us to live. We have become so deluded; we do not have the
common sense to know which public restroom a person ought to use. The President even wants to impose this evil
on our school children! Right is wrong
and wrong is right!
Consequently, God has withdrawn His protection from
us. Our efforts abroad are frustrated by
forces we should be able to wipe out in a few days. At home, we are divided and quarreling on
almost every issue. Our prosperity is
slipping away. Families are broken,
children are born out of wedlock, large numbers of people are addicted, and
sexually transmitted diseases are running rampant. The country has been invaded by 10 to15
million illegal migrants, and we lack the will to defend it. The worst of it all is that Americans are
living as though there is no eternal destination, and many will, tragically,
not inherit the Kingdom of God.
Friend, don’t miss out on eternal bliss in the presence
of God. Repent of the sin of this
world. Believe in Jesus. Trust that His sinless life has been
substituted for yours in the judgement, that you have been washed clean by the
blood He shed for you on the cross, and that you will be made a new creation
with the Holy Spirit living in you and giving you the power to live like God’s
child. Kneel at the foot of the cross
and ask Him to save you today.
