Editor: As I look around me, I wonder how much longer before God calls his children home. I've never seen lives so messed up in all my life. America has tried hard to take prayer, the Bible and Jesus out of our lives. Now we have unwed mothers and fathers and poor children with no home who are switched from grandmas to grandpas, or whoever has time to watch them. The family no longer is a man and wife as it should be. Where is normal? It has passed away with the removal of the God of the Bible from our lives.
It seems we are to tolerate and not offend Muslims or others, but it is OK to offend Christians. Doesn't anyone realize that our faith is what has made this country strong? Our faith is what created families with a man and a woman providing and caring for their children while teaching them values to live by. We have had to fight against tyrants as long as we have been a country.
Can't anyone see that Islam is now creating the scenario of what the Bible calls the battle of Armageddon? Yet we give them billions of dollars in aid. Why? It is because they cannot make it on their own. Even rich Muslim countries are not rich because of what they do, but because of oil. Without oil, where would Saudi Arabia be? They'd be a bunch of nomads wandering around a desert on camels barely able to exist.
It is time for America to realize that the values of this country were based upon the Christian faith and the God of the Bible. Even our nation's capital was used for church services every Sunday for a hundred years with presidents, congressmen and others attending, and now we are no longer called a Christian nation. Beware from where you have fallen, and come back to God and a way of life that values a family, not some welfare-driven mess with people having children by the dozens in order to get more money from Uncle Sam. Governments' rules and regulations are so strict that your old home will be torn down if you leave and public housing is making Americans look to the government for even a place to live.
If you know the right people, you can buy those old homes, rent them out and get rich while the poor man has no chance of doing any better. Our Christian values want us to help the poor, but remember, that same Bible says that a man who won't work, neither shall he eat. It is get off your butt, work through the hard times, and you will see God will make a way somehow. Without faith and hope in God, no one will make it.
I've been poor all my life, but I've had a good life, and God has blessed and kept me and my family through it all, so I know what I'm talking about.
