Careful...sounds like leftist infiltration using religious guilt to pressure people to give up on striving for a better life.
The American dream is not to covet. Stay with the women and children by the wagons.
The perversion of the american dream also goes against God.
But God has always said he has plans to prosper you. Not harm you.
The American dream is liberty to do as we ought to do in service to God and family. It is not license to do as we please.
Bastardizing the concept through language manipulation is part of our problem. America isn’t Capitalism. Capitalism is an economic system allowing individual freedom to pursue the greatest good.
One leftist sentence?
This is the worst click bait headline I’ve ever seen on Free Republic.
I’ll remember this site and NEVER click on it.
Balderdash
The US was founded by God fearing men. They gave us a method of living.
If one choses to walk away from God not on the system
Absolutely, utterly wrong.
The so called “prophet” is no prophet at all.
Both of the “prohet’s” following premises are false:
“We have all been raised up in this country to chase our dreams, to be successful so that we might live high on the hog.”
No. We have been raised up to be successful not to “live high on the hog” but to live well and to live well with economic security for our families. Just because a few became massively wealthy in our environment does not make those individuals wealth the essential purpose behind our economic system.
“If we reach what we call success here, then we have, in essence, created a world with no need of the Living God.”
Not true. Even the greatest financial success does not eliminate the need to be close to God and follow His word. In fact, financial success requires even greater attendance to God’s word, so as to not be seduced by that success to break God’s commandments.
Another way to make US seem evil.
Playing right into the America-hating communist traitor laps.
Besides i always thought the American Dream was really about freedom.
That freedom more likely leads to material success as the serfs are allowed to make their way themselves and get what they can get.
