Obama Scandals: Investigations Everywhere — No Results To See.
The prospect of such things coming to pass may be closer than many think. There is ample evidence that this President’s intentions for this nation are not good. Wishing and hoping for good things may not be all that God desires of us. Faith without works is dead. True faith will lead the believer to expose and oppose evil. Acting as though children are not being aborted will not change reality. It will only advance the blood guilt.
Our actions must go beyond reporting the onslaught of evil. We must work to stop it. It seems that we cannot expect the current congress to rescue us from this evil regime.
I was thrilled this week to be invited to a Pastors’ Policy Briefing sponsored by the Iowa Renewal Project. The topic: Rediscovering God in America with guest speaker Rand Paul. There is so much to admire about Senator Paul, particularly his courage to stand against the RINO establishment. I hope that I will have the opportunity to talk with him about the importance of having a government that promotes morality as the only assurance of maintaining liberty.
John Adams was correct. Government cannot force people to be moral, but it should punish immorality and promote moral behavior. Affirming homosexual marriage is immoral everywhere and destructive to the moral character of the nation. It is no more a state’s right to decide than slavery, abortion or murder. I hope that I can change Rand Paul’s mind and that he can reason with his libertarian base.
There are investigations everywhere because there is corruption everywhere. It can be found at all levels of government and business. It seems that the bigger and more powerful the government or the business is, the greater the propensity for corruption. Lord Acton observed that, “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
A national repentance is needed to restore our morality and freedom. Without it, we will reap slavery. The Church must lead the way and revive itself from its apathy.
