What’s wrong
September 5, 2022
Our news is filled with quips about what’s wrong with our country today. Lists include inflation, border security, failed education policies. Some include energy independence, public safety, and lack of civility, even hateful divisions. Guns, drug abuse, the list could be much longer.
One national spiritual leader stated, “We’ve forgotten God.” How true. The first commandment, if first and followed, is the heartbeat for a civil society. Billy Graham once stated that our nation’s greatest ill was that we forget, ignore, and or deny God.
Certainly, that is true today. God first means what is noble prevails. Otherwise we are self-focused, leading to greed, taking advantage and harming others, harm and hatred.
What can we do? Each of us can pray for our nation to embrace God.
