(Psalm 33:12) We seem to think we are in charge of our destiny and are able to mold our path to the future as an individual and a nation. We believe we are in control of everything and have all the answers to the problems of the age we live in. A quick look at the headlines says we are in woeful disarray and out of control. Our government has chosen to push down and ignore the word of God and hide him in every way possible. "One Nation Under God" is no longer true in many respects. The headline I read recently said that the number of people who believe in God has is at an all time low. That is a sad statement but is also bourn out in the rise of crime in the world and in our country. Psalm 33:12 states "How blessed the nation whose God is Yahweh, the people he has chosen as his heritage."(The New Jerusalem Bible (New York: Doubleday, 1985) Like the nations of old that sinned and refused to honor God's word or to recognize that He is in control we find ourselves not in control, not going down a path to greater peace. Wars and enemies pound at our doors ready to carry off all they can and enslave all who think they are in charge. Our heritage is only safe with Jesus and God our father in charge. Since we are all sinners it is only by belief in Jesus, His sacrifice, that He is the son of God that we are saved. It is only by Him that we will see everlasting life. Pray for the world to be at peace and to turn to Him.
First and foremost a Christian site dedicated to Life and all it contains. Revelation 1:8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord God, who is, who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."

Lack of faith is not just limited to our beloved country, but is seemingly a global crisis.

Looks as though all the world is lacking in faith and honour of God, sadly!

No truer words were ever written Jim! It saddens me to think so many people are turning away from our Lord. Without the Lord, we are nothing. The government has turned our Lord away too and that is when things starting going south. We need the Lord in our life...period. I sure hope people wake up and get back to the Lord for that is the only way we can rid this world of Evil. We have a fight coming I'm afraid. Thanks for this post Jim and enjoy you time away. Hugs and blessings, Brenda
