What’s wrong # 2 A good beginning
September 6, 2022
Our country is headed in the wrong direction according to many polls today. Why? The lists vary, but public safety, rising costs, public school woes, groups imposing their beliefs on others. And that’s a short list.
Consider first that our country no longer embraces the first commandment. Honor God first. Our founding fathers acknowledged God. Our 1798 constitutions preamble included these statements: ‘establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, and promote the general Welfare.
Justice, we’ve moved from that. Domestic tranquility. Many cities are dangerous. Drug use impacts all areas. The general welfare? Favoritism, discrimination, greed, power grabs and control hurt people.
Solution. It’s personal. Each of us honor, love, embrace, and obey God himself. Not a god we created to match what we want.
Its corporate and national. Pray in our churches and for our leaders that they embrace the first commandment. God first.
