Excellent observation. Back in January of this year ..
Pope Benedict XVI warned visiting U.S. bishops that "radical secularism" threatens the core values of American culture, and he called on the church in America, including politicians and other laypeople, to render "public moral witness" on crucial social issues.
Pope warns of threat to freedom of religion, conscience in US
As I noted in my post #16, many people have replaced God with government. Perhaps because of our unique isolation as a large country, Americans are not paying attention to how the same philosophy is playing itself out in Europe. In multiple speeches, Gov. Mitt Romney addressed the potential plight of America if it continues down the path of borrow and spend. We will turn into Greece. Sadly, far too many Americans lack foresight and live strictly in the present moment. When the well runs dry, like the Greeks, there will be panic and public demonstrations.
***Liberals are liberal first, then jews, catholics, protestants, second, third or whatever... People who look to govt first are not followers of any belief system other than man and his govt... There in lies the churches problems... nobody thanks God when they get a check from uncle Sam.... they may thank God for uncle Sam....***
“”Excellent observation.””
Nonsense, if that were true then we could count on protestants voting democrat like the other groups, but they never do.
And those with Jesus Christ in their heart will know one second in glory outweighs a lifetime of suffering, regardless of their plight here on earth.
And for too many this life is all about them, all about here and all about now..
If your life is about Jesus, about heaven and about spending eternity with Him in heaven, no man or election can bring you down for long.. You will be needed to minister to those when the well is dry.
