If a church does not teach you to go out and disciple, help the elderly, sick, orphaned and poor then it is a church that has lost its understanding of the Body’s intent.  If a group of believers sits joyfully fulfilled inside the confines of an expensive church building while people nearby go hungry, homeless or left to battle the powers and principalities by themselves then the members shame should be unbearable.  If ritual, robes and glitter have replaced washing of feet, supper in memory of sacrifice and fellowship in Love then a church is no longer serving God but some invention of clever men.  If you have forgotten the joy, humility and grace of having been redeemed from slavery to sin by a God who loved you so much He died for you then you personally have accepted coma over consciousness.  How can we keep our eyes on Christ and not do the work He commands us to do?  I will leave you to determine the root cause of this travesty.

America is failing not because it is no longer an economically viable entity, but because we have forgotten to Whom we owe our gratitude and blessings.  Our principled past allowed us to commonly pursue our own imaginations while maintaining an undercurrent of solid principles that required each man and woman to evaluate and constrain their own desires when they infringed upon the greater good of this nation state.  Just as the church has forgotten its charter so too have Americans forgotten our origins and why we found it worth giving our lives, honor and treasure toward creation of this “just” and principled nation.  If we are to turn things around we must first come to a consensus on who we are as a nation.  Do we serve self, greed and power or do we serve others as God intended.  The way forward is riddled with obstacle and snare for many currently in positions of authority want the face of this nation to become one that serves either the visions of the few or the desires of each man, either leads to catastrophe.  If we will not follow God we will be led astray by those desiring to direct us to disparate unrighteous purpose.

Serve God or manna, you get to make the choice but the difficulty is that if you do not choose Christ then your decision by default is manna.  There remains no middle ground.  Praise God for His Mighty Plan.  Jesus Christ the Redeemer of Mankind.
