We've been hearing a lot lately about the "fiscal cliff" our country will go over January 1, 2013, if our representatives in Washington, D.C. can't reach some sort of agreement about our financial future.
I heard a great comment about this last week that basically said something like, "this crisis is proof that our country is lost, because a moral people would NEVER have run up $16T (or whatever it is, who cares about the exact amount) in debt." What a great insight. The people of this country, and therefore, the people we elect, have walked away from goodness and truth and God.
How else do we explain a people that think...
...killing a baby before it's born is okay, but expect that same child, if "wanted", to receive the best care that money can buy, and expect others to pay for both the murder and the care?
...keeping your own money that you yourself earned is"not fair" if it's more than others have?
...when they can't find a job, not only refuse to take any job available (even if "below" them), but expect others who are working to pay to support them?
...people who come into our country illegally should stay here?
I could go on and on. What's the answer? Christ. We, as Christians have abdicated our role in culture. It's time to step up, be bold, and proclaim the truth about Christ. Christ is not about rules, but a relationship.
