Oh horsecookies
. . . animal crackers?
I believe in the gist of this. We are being judged and will continue to be so.
I’ve often pondered how the monetary system is a give from God. It stands to reason when we turn from God we turn from what’s good and what we take for granted.
“The wages of sin is death” - Romans 6:23
Is that the same thing as horse manure!!!
Thank you - very thought provoking for a Saturday morning.
Note the tagline ...
But, Obama says the sun is still rising, the birds are singing, the sky is not falling.....
Yea, right.
As we have sown, we now reap. All of this can be traced right back to the removal of God from the public square, the destruction of marriage and family and the sexual revolution.
Exactly. And I don't agree that it is because God is up there orchestrating all of this because He just decided to. He set these laws of nature into motion when He created us. If you sin, there is a going to be a natural consequence of that sin. Eventually, one way or another you get to face that consequence. Just like the laws of physics are naturally occurring, so too are the laws of sin and consequence. That explains the regularity of the pattern seen consistently throughout history with other civilizations.
Sadly, I don't think America will be waking up until it's too late.
I agree.
I used to tell my children that when they did the wrong thing, it may seem okay and they may even get away with it for a while, but bad choices will always get bad results.
I also told them that God did not give us the 10 Commandments because He is a cruel and vengeful God, but because He is a loving father that wants only the best for us.
Society is now suffering from the inevitable results of the last four decades.

I couldn’t agree more with both of you. Excellent and true points about a loving God and the natural consequences of sin.
If we think we can engage in gross sin and yet escape its consequences, we might as well believe we can repeal the law of gravitation, or that putting our hand on a hot stove will not burn us.
That God has let us carry on this unholy debt-slavery charade so long is a testament to His patience with our folly.
Good article.
Very good article, and I do agree that our current economic problems have to do with the graveness of our sins, most in particular, the sin of abortion ... Christ has given us so many opportunities (and continues to) to turn our backs on darkness and look to the Light, but many remain dazzled by Satan’s “glow.” Dear Lord, save US!
I believe we are not yet in the four horsemen arena yet....rather that God is speaking to individual hearts who have wandered away from Him...or have yet to come to Him and receive salvation. For others who have turned their back on Him...they too will feel the loses. God is long-suffering for us all but there comes a time when he acts clearly and without question. It looks like most Americans still need a wake up call that all we have is because of His goodness to us....but we need to be rich toward Him....too many have forgotten....too many no longer take the time for Him upfront, close and personal......that is the wake up call we need....simple..get with God and follow His greatest command.....To love Him with ALL our heart, mind, body and soul...first and foremost.
