In a recent article, Michael Bresciani, editor and publisher of new.americanprophet.org wrote “Make America Holy Again, has never been a political slogan.” This one sentence resonated with this writer as few sentences ever have. In high school, the line from Wm.Shakespeare’s play Macbeth states, “Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day ‘til the last syllable of recorded time,” and these words became stamped indelibly in my mind and remain so to this day more than six decades later. The absence of holiness as a common goal for Americans will likewise remain imprinted in my consciousness forever.

How long will God protect a country who has as its highest priority the murder of innocent babies?
Precisely.
Then we are deep trouble....
Can you name one human society on this planet that has ever had holiness as its goal?
Morality is enough
A relative “holiness” to be sure, but set before us as a goal. Today, it’s considered a crime.
“Morality is enough”
A good start will be civility in daily life. Might be surprised at returns on such investment.
By any definition, I believe “Holiness” is more common as not. To be sure, in myself it’s had it’s moments - better & worse.
The “noise” in life that we are overcome with amounts to just so much “sounding brass or tinkling cymbals”. Still to be heard, a silent majority sits on a deeper bench. In the meantime, we all should be aware of “the fury of a patient man”.
Wow, this makes me think a lot!
1. The left has young people believing that voting Left and being concerned about, advocating, and protesting for those less privileged than they makes them “good people” who will of course always get good stuff because they are good people. This suffices for holiness to them. (And for lots of older people as well, unfortunately)
2. Religion is the soul of a society. If the religion is good, the society will improve over the long run. If the religion is bad, force and fear are required to maintain order.
