Isaiah 57-59
“Are we rolling down hill like a
snowball headed for hell…” I recently heard this old Meryl Haggard song, posted
it on the Internet and made some quip about disco and me. This morning’s reading reminded me of
it.
Let’s be straight up. America is going to hell in a hand basket. It’s not the gay’s fault, or the abortionist. It’s not Hollywood’s, guns, television,
or music’s fault. It’s not
President Obama’s, President Bush’s, the Democrats, the Republicans or the
Independents fault.
It is my fault!!! It is the church’s fault!!! We have stopped being who these verses
say we have stopped being and we have become what these verses say we have
become.
Don’t say to me that this was
written to the Israelites and therefore doesn’t apply to us. That’s wrong!!! It does!!!
And let’s be honest again. President Obama, or Governor Romney
will not help our problem or our country.
The democrats won’t, the republicans won’t and all the self-help in the
world won’t.
AND IT WILL NOT HELP FOR US TO
SAY WE ARE RIGHTEOUS. SEARCH YOUR
HEART AND SEE IF YOU ARE. ONLY GOD
CAN SEARCH YOUR HEART AND MAKE THAT DECLARATION.
And don’t try and separate out
America from Christians. God
instituted them both, the first to offer structure, safety and security and the
second to be the means that offers structure, safety and security.
I am mad as hadies and can’t
take it anymore. I know that an
emotional blog is so much fodder for the technical gray noise of our
background.
But here’s the truth, many
Christians, of which I am the worse, have each turned to his own way and so
compromised the gospel that is Christ in us, that we no
longer live under the umbrella of God’s Almighty protection nor does our
country. In that, we are in
reality…
the worst Americans.
