Blindly running, shovels in our hands

As I look at soon to come elections I cannot help but to be sadly amused that as Americans and for that matter American Christians we are rushing with shovels in hand to dig our own graves.The greatest problem which faces humanity is that it always leaves God out of the equation of its life.It is an impossibility and the greatest of foolishness to leave God out of our lives, however. God is the greatest intruder, invader and controller of history whenever He chooses to, as is His right. Just take a look at the book of Revelation when Jesus opens the seals of judgments and creates absolute upheaval in the course of this globe.

I am so amused at how ungrateful we are and how quickly we forget tragedy. When nine eleven occurred George Bush ran to take drastic measures to protect this country against terrorism. Every Democrat that I knew got behind him in those days. If for nothing else George Bush has been an instrument in God's hand to protect us from terrorists and he has done a good job of doing it. We must be thankful to him that for eight years the Lord used him to protect us and our children.Yet we have forgotten this and clamor for change once again. As people we have a two year attention span that recalls God when tragedy hits.

When hurricane Andrew slammed into South Florida, for two years Dade County turned to God, and then it became more hardened than ever. After nine eleven the nation turned to God... yep, for two years, and then forgot Him.

When my family came back from mission work in Kenya and I saw townhouses in South Florida that should cost 120,000.00 selling for 300,000.00, I turned to my wife and said to her, “GREED”! Any bubble of greed eventually pops and so this one has. It is my prayer that in this time of humbling and correction people will begin to turn back to the Lord Jesus Christ.So to finish I need to ask...Is Jesus Christ a God of money or financial prosperity and economic well being? Or is He a God of morals, virtues, integrity, and rightness of conscience. I would say that though Jesus Christ promises us our daily bread, He is definitively the God of the latter.You see, God blesses and judges independently of any politician. His laws and His dealings transcend the busy affairs of man. His blessings are based upon how closely we pattern our lives and our world around Him, not Him around us. He does not play by our rules. He plays by His rules and if we are to be successful we must be play by His rules at all times. Will the next four years draw us closer to God or will it alienate us even further? The farther it becomes, the greater will be the judgments of God, because we are breaking His rules. In God's eyes, though probably not in ours, the murder of 50, 000,000 unborn is of paramount significance to Him. He is the creator of life. This is one of His most important broken rules in our timesIs the great intruder and invader of history, going to bow down before the change that is promised if it vastly contradicts the rules of His game. I think not. Do we care? This is why I say that I see us blindly running, shovels in our hands to dig the abyss of our own graves.
