State Of The Nation

We often hear comments such as, "What's happening to this country?"; or "What's wrong with kids today?"; and a host of other comments similar in nature. While we don't usually comment on "politics", we do feel a need to note that our culture is shaped to a great extent by the values we set or "permit" to be set and by the leaders we designate to represent us and establish these values on our behalf.

Perhaps we should choose representatives that stand for and represent "Biblical values" rather than those who represent "change" from these values. When we question the cause of problems in our society and the culture of today, it might serve us better to plant the seeds of Biblical morals and cultivate these seeds to take root and grow rather than turning our backs on God-given moral values in favor of values created in the minds of leaders who think they can do better than He can and has since the beginning of time. 

Father, guide us and fill out hearts and minds with Your Spirit that we may discern our direction according to Your divine guidance. In Jesus' Holy Name we pray, Amen. †
