Our Nation (Again)

Have you been watching the news lately? Who is telling the truth, or is anybody telling the truth?

In I Timothy 2 we find this instruction, "I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men; for kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity."

Obviously much of our government is corrupt. Representives and Senators lie until they are forced to tell the truth to save their own skin, and then try to blame their deeds on alchol, joining help programs. Why did they suddenly find their alchol problems, and seek help? Did alchol cause them to take bribes, do favors, influence legislation? Did they not know they were doing these things? How many others are doing the same things, but think they can get by with them?

Under God may be in the pledge, but most of our leaders want Him our of government, schools, and all public events. They lead hypocritical lives in using his name in various ways, while ignoring Him and the laws he has made that apply to all His creation, for all time.

Is it time for those who are true to God to pray for our government? The answer is YES. A brief look at history will show that God will not abide with a sinful nation forever. Our time as a nation is limited by our rejection of God, just as we were given time to become great because our nation by acceptance of Him. We MUST change our approach, and demand the same from our leaders, to God and his his word, to survive as a nation.
