To the Editor:
America is morally bankrupt – and our complacency is destroying us.
President James Garfield made this statement in 1877, and I believe it holds true today. “Now more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body by ignorant, reckless and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness and corruption.”
We have come to a defining moment in this country. A secular world view, hostile to biblical values, has overrun our culture and permeated our government.
Why aren’t professing Christians speaking up? It is time for the body of Christ to awaken from its apathy and act responsibly.If we fail to express our opinions, others will be more than happy to make decisions for us.
The Bible never encourages Christians to be complacent. We have the responsibility to stand up, speak up and be strong about our convictions. Let us never forget that we are a government, “of the people, for the people, and by the people.”
It has been said, “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”
Are you praying for our Nation?
This Country was founded on Biblical Christian principles—and today we see nothing but chaos and confusion concerning our moral stand. I know that in order to correct our moral compass heading, we need to address The One who set the correct course in the first place.
To me, everything hinges on this; It’s not the economy, it’s not immigration, it’s not welfare—it’s how we address the giver of all our freedoms, God Almighty.
If we don’t return to the Christian morals of our foundation – all else will be of no value whatever.
God said, “If my people, who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and will heal their land.”…11 Chron. 7:14
America desperately needs your vote … don’t let her down!
