We, as Christians, often tend to be reactionary, while liberals take the long view. For decades, they have been plodding along, preparing for what we see happening now. They have promoted and normalized behaviors contrary to God’s Word. They have promoted the idea that the Bible is man-made and irrelevant. They took over the public education system and began teaching kids liberal, secular views based on political correctness or wokeness, redefining the meaning of morality. They de-emphasized civics and even began to promote the idea that our Constitution is flawed, racist, and needs to be set aside or drastically changed. They encouraged dependence on the government and frowned on individual responsibility, creating a generation that demands a government that will take care of them because they can’t or won't take care of themselves. They made sure the populace would be compliant and willing to do whatever the government told them. They have been successful in producing a generation that believes Christians are the enemy and that those who believe the Bible are ignorant knuckle-draggers or mentally unstable. They have spent decades preparing America to receive Marxism and socialism, an ungodly secular worldview, and a population willing to surrender their freedoms for a government to take care of them, which, in reality, it won’t.

Yes, a bleak and sad picture. What are we to do? Changing America seems an overwhelming task, but it starts with an individual willing to put Jesus first. One Christian after another, willing to believe and live for Jesus. This change won’t be powered by keyboard keys, but by being willing to spend some time on our knees. Put Jesus first and live it. Let’s allow the power of God to once again move this country in the direction it needs to go. And once you get up from those knees, put some legs to those prayers and make a difference by witnessing, being an example, and voting based on Biblical truth.

1 Peter 2:16 Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God.

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.

John 13:15 For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you.

1 Peter 2:12 Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation. … See MoreSee Less

One of the videos I enjoy watching is about a man who searches lakes and rivers for treasure. It looks just like a lake or river, but beneath the surface, treasure awaits. He puts on diving gear and uses an underwater metal detector. He finds all kinds of things, like lost rings, coins, and other valuables. What impressed me is that he also kept a net sack with him, and when he ran across trash like an empty bottle or can, he picked it up. He could have just ignored the trash and taken the treasure, but he wanted to clean up the lake and river as best he could.

It’s like that when we meet people. There is the person we see on the outside, but if you take the time, you can find treasure in each person. However, when you dig a little, you will also find debris left behind by poor decisions and past hurts. We could just look for the treasure that would be of value to us and ignore the debris, but while we are enjoying the relationship or friendship, let’s also be willing to help clean up the debris through prayer, encouragement, and Godly counsel whenever possible. Make it a goal to leave everyone you meet in better condition than when you found them.

Galatians 6:2 Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

Romans 15:1 We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves. … See MoreSee Less
